UPDATE

Well, it turns out you have to manually add the image thumbnail to the Amazon listing page. Lulu.com’s Global Reach program only submits the text data and some other very basic info to the Amazon databases. So you have to sign up for an Amazon.com Author Central account and edit the listing there, including uploading a thumbnail of the book cover. Ironically, Lulu.com doesn’t let you “fix” their book cover thumbnail, but particularly with Jackpot Bloom where the colors are all off. At least BarnesAndNoble.com automatically got it correct. So now that makes Amazon.com and BarnesAndNoble.com displaying the correct cover colors. Noice.

====================================================================================

Awwww yeah, shit just got real, y’all.

So you can now officially order Jackpot Bloom from the following online bookstores:

http://www.lulu.com/us/en/shop/chongchen-saelee-and-scott-harpt/jackpot-bloom/paperback/product-21818708.html

http://www.amazon.com/Jackpot-Bloom-Chongchen-Saelee/dp/131206112X/

Don’t be spooked out by the Amazon order page, that’s just the approval process. Since Jackpot Bloom is actually printed by Lulu.com via print-on-demand, there is no actual inventory. They’ll print your copy when you order it.

And we’re done for the night.

I think my lighting is wrong. But practice is practice.

After coloring Jackpot Bloom, I learned some new coloring techniques. Would definitely have to apply those to Agent S.

Happy Halloweenie, folks!

Here’s a sketch of a bad-ass babe I was going to make into a videogame. Maybe someday I’ll sit down and draw the story for you. I think it’s pretty epic. We’ll see.

2525: North American Alliance
A collection of science-fiction stories
By Chongchen Saelee

I’ve been thinking of a way to re-introduce my Asian-American superhero “Agent S” via a huge scope, a well-established world that’s based on reality. It’s not to be “more grounded” but to actually build on what really exists that people don’t care to acknowledge but might also be amazed by. So I will reintroduce Agent S as part of a collection of new sci-fi stories called “2525: North American Alliance”. It pays homage to the Pop Culture song “In the year 2525” and will be comprised of stories about how America transformed into the America that Agent S inhabits in his timeline. Hopefully, it sets the tone properly before I get to the kung-fu and explosions. (more…)
