New

Chapter
14 now available
Not quite up for Christmas however here's the next installment before the new year. Still good progression happening on the book front so should be able to have something speial for all those people who pre-ordered off me in person back in July.
18-12-09
Chapter
12 and 13 now available
Apologies for the delay, however I have put two more sample chapters
up for your viewing pleasure - and hopefully I will have chapter
14 up as a Christmas present for you all.
17-12-09
What
has been happening?
Apologies for the sample chapters to dry up - however the good
news is we are a small step away from having chapters 12-16 ready
for upload and slow release on the website. Also - we are
now in final editing stages of the novel (finally). I think
realistically we will have the book ready for final details soon
after Christmas - which is a shame as I would have loved to have
the book ready for printing (pre-orders pending) before Australia
Day. Never mind. The good news however is that Edit
2 is now complete and Edit 3 is well underway, graphics are continued
to be worked on and the book is continuing to progress well.
So we are slow but those who have pre-ordered have nothing to
fear - the book is still coming!
14-10-09
Sample
Chapter 11 now available.
With a small delay, the draft sample of chapter 11 is now up and
available to read. This is the first full 'match' of Feudball
in the book, however from here on in there is at least one full
match every second chapter, or, more often, every chapter. As
I've already mentioned below - up until now has been a lot of
'scene setting' but that's all done now and here on in it's games,
games, games of Biff, Brutality and Bad-ass plays. Enjoy.
25-09-09
Sample
Chapter 10 now available.
Finally, the chapters are up to where the Feudball on pitch action
begins! It has taken a lot of the book so far to 'set the
scene' however from here on in it is Feudball action in every
chapter (well, almost). So buckle in as there's a lot of
in game action packed into the chapters from here, right through
to the epilogue after Ch 31.

Sample
Chapter 9 now available.
Enjoy!
Chapter
8 up + 66 Pre-Orders
7-09-09
Sample
Chapter 8 now available.
The book is continuing to attract attention and be worked on behind the
scenes. As well as having the book registered by ISBN number
and ongoing final editing taking place, we now have 66 Pre orders
accounted for.
Chapter
7 up + Distributors sign up
30-08-09
Sample
Chapter 7 now available.
Both Tritex Games and
Impact Miniatures
have agreed to distribute Feudball once we have gone to print.
This has helped speed up the process significantly and as at the
time of writing now 64 Pre-orders have been taken. This
is very pleasing progress and will hopefully raise the profile
of the novel.
Artwork
is also continuing on both the front cover and further interior
illustrations. We are encouraged by the progress of Mal Van Drempt
and the uniqueness of his concepts, while being true to the tone
and text of the book.
Chapter
6 up + ISBN and barcode finalised
23-08-09
Sample
Chapter 6 now available.
As Graeme, one of our pre-order customers has said: "I've
really liked the prevew chapters so far. :)
its alot better than the [other Fantasy Football novels], but
really thats not a hard thing to do. ;)
congrats to Babs and Vimes u guys have done a great job so far.
:) "
In
other news, the book now has it's own ISBN. While we haven't listed
the book officially yet, we have a reserved ISBN and barcode to
match. The ISBN is 978-0-9806381-9-6 .
Chapter
5 now up

Enjoy! If you do enjoy it, we'd love you to pre order.
20
Pre-orders
7-08-09
Sample
Chapter 4 now available.
We now have 20 pre-orders. Chapter 4 is now available for
download. I have been receiving positive emails from lots
of people who have been reading the novel. Don't forget
that if you want to sign up to the forum you need to email me
as well as sign up. The novel still has some time to go
before the real on pitch action takes off, so keep tuned and remember
the more of you sign up for pre order - the closer we get to publishing
(and the sooner!).
Book
selling well
2-08-09
Sample
Chapter 3 now up!
Thanks to the launch at Eucalyptus Bowl, the book now has 19 pre-orders.
Chapter 3 is now up as a sample, and the plan is from now on,
chapters should be going up roughly weekly. Can I encourage you
to pre-order if you have not already, sign up for the chat forum
(and email me as well or you won't be approved) and tell everyone
to get their copy - we'd love to get to print ASAP.
Book
Launch!
25-07-09
Sample
Chapter 1 and 2 now up!
Final launch date is upon us (and I'm cheating a little posting
early here). With the official date to coincide with a local
gaming tournament, the website will now go live. While artwork
is still being finished, orders are now being taken and sample
chapters will begin their slow release.
You can expect that there will be a new chapter
in the sample section about once
a week. Of course, why wait? Sign up for the book now - and once
we get enough people - we go to print!
The printing has been sorted, the book is in
final stages of editing, and it's a very exciting time!
Spambot
annoyance!
It is very important that people who want to
sign up for the forum also send me an email as I am receiving
a lot of spam signups and I will not know your legitimate signup
without an accompanying email asking permission - please. I am
taking it as a backhanded compliment that we have enough traffic
to spam!
Teaser
Cover
There
is now a sample cover illustration being given out for those people
who pre-order their copy. This is NOT the
final front cover, just a worked up concept which has been rejected.
However, to show you the calibre of the artwork it is included
here.
Quotes
for limited edition printing out to tender
24-04-09
Editing
continues
The book has now entered it's next stage of editing, with quotes
being tendered for the printing of the limited edition print run.
As posted below, some concept sketches are now up in the art section
of the website. Unforutnately the production of the book
is again running behind schedule slightly, with our first sample
chapter to be online with our 'official' release coming soon...ish.
Feudball
site now 'whole'
6-03-09
No
more 'dead' links
The website now has the basic page structure developed and ready.
I have also seen the artwork preliminary sketches, which are very
impressive! Expect them to be up and online with this next update.
Feudball
still developing
22-02-09
Progressing
slower than anticipated (website and editing)
There is some slow traffic testing around the site, so the following
links are good - all links down the menu to submission guidelines
(in Feudball products), the chat forum and the bottom two menu
items are all coded. The others - well I'll get to them
soon. Hope that helps. We have two important news
items:
1.
We have taken our first two orders for the novel!
2.
We have artwork commenced for both the website, inside the book
and the front cover.
Website
up and running...sort of
18-12-08
Finally
not just a placecard awaiting a website
Parts of this site are now live! Please be careful - there
are lots of missing links and web pages yet to be written - so
if a link doesn't work - don't worry just yet - it will come along
soon enough. Be patient and there will be an announcement on this
page when it is finally up and running.
Feudball
Draft being edited!
17-12-08
