We here at I.I.I. would like to take a moment to thank all of the fans of the
Genesis of Oblivion Saga
. It has absolutely blown us away that this series has been welcomed so fast and with such loyalty by so many.

But, our company slogan, “Built by Fantasy Fans for Fantasy Fans” is more than just a catchy tagline. It is a call to action, and my friends, we need your help.

We have all been victims, my friends. Victims of having a favorite T.V. show canceled. We ask ourselves, “Why? It was well written. I know lots of people who enjoyed it. Why was it canceled?” The answer is simple – the fans did not get involved.

We live in a new world, my friends. A world of information. You, the fans, now have more power than you can possibly know. The power to propel something that you enjoy. The power to help it thrive and grow.

Sure, it is our job to put out quality products. Give the fans an interesting and thought-provoking story to sink their mental teeth into. But, it is you who will decide if this series continues. And it takes very little time or effort on your part to do this.

If you liked this book, please, tell a friend. If you tell even one person who picks up this series, you have done your part to ensure you will get the opportunity to read this series to its completion. I am willing to bet, without straining too hard, you can think of someone you know, just one person who would enjoy reading this story as much as you just did. They may have not even heard of it. Why not tell them? Let them know how much you enjoyed it. Give them the opportunity to enjoy it as well.

If you are feeling energetic, write one or two lines about this book on your Facebook page. Or My Space, or Good Reads, or whatever you use. We know you have one of them, we see it in your “favorites” folder. Send out an email to a few people you know who are fantasy fans. Just a line that says, “Hey, I just read this book. You should check it out.” And that is just the beginning of what you can do, my friends! (Queue the patriotic music and let the flags wave in the breeze) Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com are wonderful places to let the world know how you felt about this book. With just a few minutes of your time, you could write a review. You can blog about it. Sffword.com, goodreads.com, librarything.com are all wonderful places to connect with other readers. Let them know you enjoyed this book!

My fellow fans, I stand before you today to let you know that you have the power to ensure this series does not go gentle into that good night! We have a dream... that the
Genesis of Oblivion Saga
will continue to entertain people for years to come. So, ask not what a good fantasy saga can do for you. Ask what you can do for a good fantasy saga!

Thank you,

The I.I.I. Staff

“Hi. My name is Maxwell Alexander Drake, and I approve of this message.”

Hey, this is Drake. Thank you so much for reading this eBook edition of Mortals & Deities – Book Two of the Genesis of Oblivion Saga. I hoped you enjoyed it.

I would like to take a moment to talk with you about piracy. Now, many people do not see this as a problem. They feel that an artist—be it an author like me, or a musician, T.V. and movie personality—make enough money that piracy does not effect their lifestyle. And for some, this may be true.

The fact of the matter is, even if they make a good living, artists work for their money like everyone else. Plus, they get a very small percentage of what you actually pay for our products. The majority of what you pay goes to the retailers, distributors, and other professionals who bring the product to you.

When you boil things down, if the artist does not make a living at this, they will go find something else to spend their time doing.

So, that brings me back to this eBook. If you enjoyed it, and did not pay for it, you can still do so. Swing on over to
www.shop.imaginedinterprises.com
. There you can purchase this eBook. That will not only make this copy legal, but you will be doing your part to ensure that I can feed my family while continuing to bring you a quality entertainment product for years to come.

Thank you for your time and support.

Drake
