Hey, guys!
Did you enjoy your holidays? For some of you there's one more treat up next in New Years! Any of you have plans? Don't be shy! Leave a comment! Inbox my Author Email with whatever you want. I can't promise I'll reply to ALL of them. But I WILL read them all!
This week's blog post is going to be about my new Book! Somewhat. And about other things.
Like I said previously I will be using this blog for a variety of things that may change at any time.
But anyways! Have you noticed on my Paperback edition the missing Sword? I noticed it too.
Keep in mind this is not an issue on my end! Printing Ink issues with blackness and dark objects bleed together that I was NOT notified about. Otherwise the cover looks fine!
Don't worry. We're going to make sure EVERYTHING will be visible in Wrath of the Assassin!
The interior is what you want! And she looks beautiful. I just received my copy of my book in the mail today! It's professionally bound and everything. I don't recommend getting the paperback unless you just REALLY want to. I wanted to have a hard copy of my book, which is why I did it.
Ebook is MUCH cheaper. If you're pressed for cash, grab the 3.99 copy. If you are subscribed to Kindle Unlimited, you can grab it for FREE!
I also decided to get a promotion out with AwesomeGang! I should have something released at about Jan 2nd, be on the lookout for that.
This past week could be described as a sort of vacation/holiday thing. We sold a few copies. I'm happy with what we've got thus far. Not bad for a first book by a guy just getting started!
I am going to officially get started with Wrath of the Assassin after New Years. Right now, we're enjoying the Holidays, as I'm sure most of you are, too!
Have any of you played the Ratchet and Clank games? I've been going through a few of them this past week whilst doing some marketing with A Perilous Beginning. I'm really enjoying myself! The only thing I wish would return is the ol' Spyro games. It's just not the same without Insomniac at the Helm.
What do you guys think about that? Miss Spyro? Love Ratchet and Clank? Let me know!
Next item!
A question I've been asked a few times this week is what do I plan on doing next. Where am I going to go from here?
Well, my answer to you is that I am going to get the next book out first, before I do anything else. This is a trilogy. And it wouldn't be right to delay the next issue to do another project. I'm going to get the full trilogy out before I work on anything else.
I hope you guys enjoy this book. I put alot of work into it, especially for a guy working all on his lonesome. I had a wonderful artist who did my map and cover, who has graciously accepted to do the covers for the next two books! Aside from that, it's all me, folks!
Editing is hard, and I am not a robot that is perfect. I might have missed a few things. If you find anything, anything at all. Please don't be shy to point them out to me in an email! I CAN edit these manuscripts for future copies, do not worry about that!
Last item!
I have a Newsletter out now! The Terraverse Infoverse! I will be posting material seen NOWHERE ELSE in these Newsletter Issues. You're not going to want to miss out!
Subscribe today! Link will be below.
Anyways. Take care, guys. And have a wonderful New Years! I'll seeya next Wednesday for another Blog Post!
With all regard,
M.R. Cull

Welcome!
Hey guys.
This is the SubOfficialKindaOfficialForRightNowOfficial Blog of M.R. Cull, author of the Terraverse Series!
I'm sure you might be wondering who I am, or maybe you're wondering how to find my book. Or perhaps you're not quite sold on getting yourself a copy yet.
Fret not. I know how you feel.
I was in your shoes. I normally bought books from Authors I was familiar with, stories that I knew I would love.
But let's face it. Even our favourite authors were strangers to us at one point. We have to step out of our comfort zones to find the next big names.
I do not proclaim my book to be the best in the business, but I do think it's pretty great, and 3.99 is well within reasonable range in regards to pricing for ebooks.
I might use this blog as a FAQ. I'll answer questions from fans here. I might use the blog to post random top 5s. Or maybe "This Week's Book Rant". Possibilities are endless.
So! To Christen this first Blog. I'm going to open with my Book's Promotion and the story of how this all began.
I found myself graduated from College with few prospects to follow due to a lack of credentials, but I clearly had the Talent if not the Paper. I normally spent my free time playing video games, watching good movies, and writing stories on a Forum I run. Those who read these stories were blown away by the extent of characters, the world, and the lore that I had created. People have told me for years to write books based off these ideas I had, they were itching to see me do something big with it.
Enter Amazon KDP. I am so grateful to Amazon for offering someone with very little money the opportunity to get published. All I had was my talents for writing.
So, I used them. I couldn't afford an Editor, so I edited my own book this time around. I possibly might need to do so for the next two books as well. Once these books kick off and I'm turning in a sizeable profit, I can then use those funds to get these books a better quality of production. I can get a team together, and we can do great things.
But for now: We must start small.
After all, it's not the formatting or quality of the book that matters in the long run: It's the Story that you find within. I've spotted a few typos on books from my favourite authors. But I didn't even care, because I was so gripped into the story. A good story is worth a few editing errors, in my humble opinion.
A Perilous Beginning has a small cast of characters, but this is the opening act, and I wanted to start small to give you guys an easy start. Each character was crafted from a special place in my head.
Pyke was crafted from my dreams of being a published author with a large readership but no funds to get started: but had the ambition to make it to the top.
Sechul was crafted years ago during my prototype stages of the series. I wanted a character who was already "finished with his story arc" persay. He's already seen and done it all. Now he's a tired and jaded fighter drifting from place to place.
Elysa? Not only is she the 'Token Female Character', but she's also the plot exposition. Much of the story of Season 1 is going to revolve around her, even if she doesn't become a main character for all twelve books.
If you want my two cents on the other characters, purchase my book, read about them, and then send me a message asking me to mention it in the next blog!
The Preface and Intro in book 1 are lengthy, and for this I apologise. I had too much to say, to explain, about this new world that you might have questions about. I was hoping to cover them before they were even asked. Book 2 has a much shorter Preface/Intro. You'll get to the story on page 7 (so far as my current draft depicts, final edit might give or take a few pages).
I put alot of dreams into this book. And I want to share it with you all. Give it a chance, yeah?
~~~~~~~~
And now it's time to wh*re myself out with the links and advertising!
Book 1: A Perilous Beginning is out NOW on ebook and paperback via Amazon.com!
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07891GK7T/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1513372530&sr=1-1&keywords=m.r.+cull
Do you like Fantasy? Do you like Lord of the Rings? Do you like silly jokes that make you laugh?
Then A Perilous Beginning is just the thing for you! Three unlikely heroes have their destinies intertwined as the big bad Musharii Empire seeks to destroy all that they hold dear.
It will take all of Pyke's wits, all of Elysa's cunning, and all of Sechul's skill to get them through this ordeal. Witness the beginning of it all, the beginning of a Saga.
This novel is the first of a trilogy called Noct & Tath. Why Noct & Tath? What is the significance behind this? Find out by collecting all three books! You'll get your answers in the next installments!
All proceeds go towards getting the next book out, promoting the current book, and sustaining the Author's livelihood so that he doesn't die of starvation.
