Explosive Mecha Showdown At Cold Lake

Neo Ace Status
The chapter 30 draft is now up at Wattpad.  The final showdown between Geraldo, Jake, and Mayumi happens.  You can have a look at the draft of Neo Ace over at Wattpad here for free.  There are more chapters to go, but I'm going to stop posting at chapter 30.  When the KDP Select goes live to promote the final ebook, I'm going to have to take it down while it is in KDP Select anyhow.  So enjoy while it is up there for now.


I'm now finished revisions and am pretty sure that Neo Ace will be out after Christmas.  It'll be a miracle otherwise due to the high workloads for various people.  It is actually funny that my novel is supposed to end a few days before Christmas too.  It just worked out that way as it was based on events that happened in the first semester for the mecha pilot cadets.  I think I managed to pull of a great blend of characters both old and young that gave the story depth and wasn't like "students save the world - something that anime seems to do."  If there was any mecha anime influence it would have been closer to Evangelion with the older folks calling the shots, but with the cadets playing important roles.  In the next novel's story arc, the cadets do play a much larger role, but again, the more experienced pilots and leadership will propel the story along.
