Hi there!

So, this is a long time coming, I guess... It's been ages since I last posted any update on here, and for that I apologize. But it should also be mentioned that I will probably not be posting many updates on here in the future, either. Every now and then I will, but not often.

Why?

Well, my time is kind of spent on other pursuits these day. For example, my debut novel Valkyria is now available as an eBook with the print version being release in the new year. I'm also working on the sequel at the moment.

So, I will probably post chapter excerpts (or even full chapters) on here, just so you guys can see how my books are going. And I may put some full short stories on here as well.

But if you want to keep in touch still, you can do it one of four ways:

1. My website/blog: www.garethtorrance.com
2. My Twitter account: gareth_torrance
3. My Facebook Author Page: Gareth Torrance on Facebook
4. My Goodreads Author Profile: Gareth Torrance on Goodreads

I really hope some of you guys will keep in touch through one of those channels. I'm most active on Twitter, for the record.

And I want to say thank you for all the love and likes my various deviations received over the years I was on here. You guys all rock!

Hi there...

Dang its been ages hasnt it? Sorry about the lack of grammar like commas and apostraphes. This laptop just doesnt want to let me do them!

I finally got to the point where i can get on dA sometimes so I decided to update this journal a bit. My wife and I have moved again, and I am now working in a large media company. Things are going well.

On top of that, I play Guild Wars 2 and FFXIV a lot, even making Lets Play videos again on youtube.com/user/evenangels and livestreaming on twitch.tv/achaiuscaiodheach

I'm currently setting up a website for my blog and for me and my friends (online and IRL) to talk about all aspects of RPG gaming. On top of that, I will be part of the PINKcast, and MMORPG podcast/youtube series run by my GW2 guild maters and me.

How are you guys?

Well, it has been over a year since anyone heard anything about me. For that I am sorry. I have been busy with work and the creation of my fictional world. The fictional world has been completed and now the first of a series of short stories that act as an introduction to the world is available on Amazon in eBook format!

That's right. My first professional, official publication is available for just 2 dollars! It is the first in a series of five short stories detailing the birth, evolution of the Alexandria Imperium, leading up to the beginning of its downfall. The series is titled Birth of an Imperium, and the first story is entitled The Inquisitor's Confession and came be found here: www.amazon.com/dp/B00A35432I

Hey there,

Just letting you all know that I will be moving my 'top' photoshop stuff into my new dA account: garethtorrance.deviantart.com which will act as my portfolio of my so-called 'digital art'.

As such, BrokenOpen will be reserved for my literary pursuits. I will begin the move after posting this, but it may take some time... And of course, my new photoshop and digital art pieces will be posted on GarethTorrance instead.

I guess this is also the time to announce my return to deviantArt as I will be using the site more than I have recently.
