Relic Worlds at Wondercon

Since Two Gun Hart released only two weeks ago, I wanted to focus only on promoting it for the next couple months.  However, Wondercon is taking place this weekend, and it is the best place to promote science fiction and adventure.  As such, I have been preparing for it, and I will be there promoting Relic Worlds all three days.

I'll of course have all the Relic Worlds materials there, including books, samples, descriptions, etc.  I'll be host the miniature game of it on Saturday evening.  But the primary promotion involves a giant treasure hunt that covers the entire convention.  The flyers below are being given out at the front and on social media.  People who choose to do it need to photograph themselves at the proper locations, then post the photos on Facebook and Twitter with the hashtag: relicworldstreasurehunt.  If this works, it will bring attention to the series, and cause a lot of people to put Relic Worlds onto their own social media streams.

To prepare for this, I've had to get two short stories finished and posted on the Relic Worlds page.  The first was the pirate story which had been started but never finished.  I couldn't leave it hanging, so I needed to write the rest of it.  Unfortunately, this story turned out to be longer than I had intended.  Then, I couldn't have the latest story be the pirate story; then new readers would think that's the primary storyline.  So I had to write a Lancaster James story to have at the top of the main website.  Since a lot of new people will be coming in after this, I wanted this story to be a classic Relic Worlds story with a basic plot.  He travels through the jungle, finds a tomb, gets through traps, has to get away from monsters, then run away from local tribesmen, all while getting help from his trusty assistant Little Jack.

I've finished the stories, but need to get back to it to do the touch-ups and insert links, so I better get to it.
