Rob Lopez Kicks Off Summer by Self-Publishing "A Soulless Christmas and Other Tales of Forsaken Stars"

Author Rob Lopez has compiled several of his pieces from Forsakenstars.com, in an ebook titled "A Soulless Christmas and Other Tales of Forsaken Stars," released for Kindle on amazon.com on June 14, 2013.

Fresno, CA, June 17, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Prose and Poetry arising out of the first four years of Forsaken Stars, the science-fiction, horror and fantasy webcomic and blog, the collection includes the short stories, "A Soulless Christmas," "Ninth Circle" and the all new "Cowbird and Cactus"; the song lyrics "Rock Eternal"; the poem "An Astronaut Vampire's Lament"; the mini comic script "Unicorns and Rainbows"; six micro-stories 140 characters and under collected as "Late Night Tweet Fiction," and a never-before-seen transcript to John East's interview with the Vampire Azzi. This volume of collected writings is also loaded with illustrations and concept sketches.

The webcomic/comic book "Forsaken Stars" takes place 1,000 years after the Second Coming of Christ, and chronicles the journey of the space vampire Azzi, Captain Sera Besh and their motley crew to seek an audience with God before He takes His Chosen to Heaven and collapses this universe behind him. "A Soulless Christmas and Other Tales of Forsaken Stars" is parts prequel, parts stories inspired by, and parts behind-the-scenes.

"It's also a celebration of the universe, that it's lasted so long, and hopefully a motivator for me to continue and complete the comic," creator Rob Lopez said of his ebook collection.

After a hiatus of almost two years, Lopez has started updating the webcomic and blog again, with new art, articles and even an art contest on the Forsaken Stars facebook page, with the prize being that the artist's piece becomes the cover to issue six of the comic. "So that means I should probably finish issue five," Lopez said.

Forsaken Stars is Rated “Web 14” for Adult Situations, Partial Nudity and scenes of Intense Violence.
