Fan Art: Volume 1

jr-handley-header

Hey Space Cadets, how’s everyone doing?  I’m fine, I’m currently writing my last scene before the final battle.  So today my word count will be low, but I’ll have outlined through the rest of the book which sets me up for success going forward.  Overall, Operation Breakout is looking good.  It’s been fun to write, full of action and adventure and a few dead aliens!  I also wrote a short story, which I sent to my editor yesterday.  He’s in the middle of moving in, so he’ll get it in a few days.  I’ll keep everyone posted!  Also, you can still get my Sleeping Legion prequel novella Demons of Kor-Lir by signing up for my [newsletter].

 

Yesterday, I had a call for fan art, which I would feature. This morning, I had several in my inbox!  I even had a painting show up via an overnight delivery!!  Clearly these are fans worth keeping around, so I’ve made a promise to myself to keep writing books worthy of them!  And obviously, you loyal readers count in here as well!  Since none of them gave me permission to use their names, I’ll leave them anonymous.  If you have anything you want to send, you can click on the Contact Me link and shoot me a message.  Or you can find me on Facebook, where this art will also be featured.

Until next time, stay frosty and don’t forget to keep your powder dry!

J.R. Handley

J.R. Handley is a pseudonym for a family writing team. He is a veteran infantry sergeant with the 101st Airborne Division and the 28th Infantry Division. His family is the kind of crazy that interprets his insanity into cogent English. He writes the sci-fi while they proofread it. The sergeant is a two-time combat veteran of the late unpleasantness in Mesopotamia where he was wounded, likely doing something stupid. He started writing military science fiction as part of a therapy program suggested by his doctor, and hopes to entertain you while he attempts to excise his demons through these creative endeavors. In addition to being just another dysfunctional veteran, he is a stay-at-home parent, avid reader and all-around nerd. Luckily for him, his family joins him in his fandom nerdalitry.

  1. “I’m currently writing my last scene before the final battle.”

    Yay!

    “I also wrote a short story, which I sent to my editor yesterday.”

    ‘Nother “Yay!” It’s good that he’ll have something to edit as a way of breaking in his new office space.

    Fan art — cool. That’s when you know you’re REALLY dong something right with your fiction. Just you wait until someone draws a “Hello Kitty” version of Lance…

    3. At this point, I’ll be breaking in the hotel room/office. I’m still waiting for the painters to finish fixing the walls before I get to move into the house (hopefully around Friday of this week).

      I need a Hello Kitty version of Lance. Now that I know such a thing could exist, my life will not be complete without seeing this majestic artistic rendition. Also, now that I live 30 minutes away from J.R., we can assume I will attempt to convince him to get this tattoo.
