Majesty's Offspring

Battling Inspiration…

AJ Vega — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 02:11:32 +0000

It seems I’ve had a hard time writing lately. Whether it’s the streams in life that suck you into a Flytrap of inaction or the sound of long silence invading that space between the ears… been hard to get into it. I’m bouncing between the Prequel to Majesty’s Offspring and a completely new novel called [...]

Now free on Amazon…

AJ Vega — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 17:23:23 +0000

Looks like Amazon has just recently thrown me a nice bone. They’ve made Book 1 of Majesty’s Offspring Free in the Kindle store (it was previously 0.99, which was the minimum an author could set the price to, unless Amazon chooses to make it free). It was already free through multiple online retailers via Smashwords, [...]

Age of Majesty (Prologue Sample)

AJ Vega — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 01:26:52 +0000

Okay, so I’ve been at work on the prequel novel. I’ve managed to put something together that feels like it is going to be the Prologue, or perhaps, the opening chapter. Not sure yet. It starts with a conversation between Raul Valdez (Hugo Valdez’ father) and Lewis Edwards (Laina’s grandfather and eventual founder of Omega [...]

The Age of Majesty (Prequel)…

AJ Vega — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 05:32:47 +0000

I’m a glutton for punishment. I must be as I’ve begun outlining another monsterpiece in the form of the prequel to the hugely unsuccessful highly admired by me mainly novel Majesty’s Offspring. The new novel, which I am targeting to be at novella length and will most likely be about two full novels-length worth in [...]

The Prequel

AJ Vega — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 00:58:59 +0000

Been a while since my last entry and for that I apologize. Life has been busy as of late. I’ve finally decided that my next writing project will be another science fiction novel… drumroll …It will be a prequel to Majesty’s Offspring. I have some good ideas of how I’m going to write it and [...]

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

AJ Vega — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 13:37:25 +0000

I thought it might be cool to add an “FAQ” section, or post, to the site. So here is my stab at that… What is Majesty’s Offspring? Majesty’s Offspring is a Science Fiction, Space Opera novel that I wrote. The main page does a better job of explaining what it’s about, but I’ll boil it [...]

Art cultivates art…

AJ Vega — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 23:59:04 +0000

In case I get hit by a meteor or abducted by colon-starved aliens, I thought it would be wise for me to acknowledge the artists that have inspired me throughout my nascent writing career, err hobby I mean. Art cultivates art. Through these artists I have (for better or for worse) been inspired to spin [...]

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, you can buy it…

AJ Vega — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 20:06:12 +0000

Well, I guess I’ve just been too bloody busy to write on my blog, but I write something now because if I don’t, people will think I’m dead! Lately, I’ve been so caught up in other projects, that I’ve neglected by blog far too long— so here we go! So where do I start? Well, [...]

eBook formatting, Beta Readers & Majesty’s Spawn…

AJ Vega — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 17:03:08 +0000

Well, it’s been far too long since my last post, so I figured it was time for an update on things. I’ve been hard at work trying to get the formatting just right for the eBook versions of Majesty’s Offspring on Amazon Kindle and Barnes & Noble NOOK. Unfortunately, it’s been a bit of trial [...]
