Escort Trailer: Shrine Maiden’s Secret

Welcome.

Hi there everyone.  I’m glad you came, I wanted to talk about something very important with you.  Have a seat by the fireplace and let me bring you the knowledge of a generation.  What’s that?  Why yes, I haven been listening to Ninja Sex Party almost non-stop for the past three hours.  Why do you ask?

I sound like who, now?

So, what’s this super important thing I need to tell you?  Well that’s simple.  Have you heard the news?  What news?  Oh don’t be silly, I know you’ve heard it, already.  I know it for a fact, that you’ve-

 

Just tell me the news!

Okay, okay…

 

Did you hear that I wrote a book?  It’s called Escort.  And it’s currently available.

Oh, you’re dead, bitch!

 

Wait, wait…that’s not all!  Did you have any interest in a bit of a free taste of the book?  Because we have a trailer now.  It’s specifically for the first of the three stories in Escort, The Shrine Maiden’s Secret.  Remember when I talked about the art work I was having that artist, Kiersten Nichols do for me?  Well that’s what the art was for — the trailer!

Here’s the voice credits for the trailer in case anyone else was interested in hiring the wonderful folks I hired.  The young lady who performed Matsuuri’s lines preferred not to be credited in the work, so I shall honor her wishes.  The narrator, though, was a talented Brit named Sara Dunham.  Yachiro was played by the new actor handling Gene’s lines in the re-release of Monster, Cary Reese.

Hope you enjoyed the trailer and I hope you enjoy the book even more!

Let’s Talk About Escort (Pt.1)

As you all are probably aware, on April 1st (no joke!) my first published book will be released.  Escort is an assembly of three short stories, all centering on the plot of an ‘escort mission’ happening in each story.  The first story is called The Shrine Maiden’s Secret and it takes place in Japan.  The Yamana family are a venerable samurai clan, but the daimyo has only one child: A daughter named Matsuuri.  Matsuuri is smart and beautiful and loved by her father.  She has recently been accepted to the position of Shrine Maiden of the temple at Hounenji.

Matsuuri wearing the Do (armor) and Menpo (mask) of her all-female Honor Guard.

Hounenji is a holy shrine dedicated to fertility (and a good harvest, of course!) and is run by a Miko, a Shrine Maiden, rather than a male monk.  A great honor for any clan to have a member of their family run the place.  So all the neighboring clans want to ruin the Yamana’s chances at gaining even more esteem by either killing or deflowering Matsuuri (the Miko must be a virgin when she takes over control of the shrine).

Who is the only person that can escort her to Hounenji?  The greatest swordsman of the Yamana clan, of course!  The Red Demon of the Yamana: Wakahisa Yachiro!

‘Red’ Demon, because he has auburn hair. In case you were curious.

Yachiro’s father was a drunkard who failed to keep watch at his gate when the Yamana were betrayed and attacked by their former allies, the ambitious and ruthless Sogo clan.  Yachiro enjoys two things: Sword fighting and sex.  When he isn’t training his craft of swordsmanship, he’s putting the moves on the widows of his dead clansmen.

So…who thought it was a good idea to put the clan pervert in charge of escorting the 19-year-old virgin princess to Hounenji?

 

Officer Rambo, of course!

 

No, just kidding.  It was me, I wrote it.  I can prove it, too…

 

See? It has my name on it.

 

 

And as far as names go, how do you like Matsuuri and Yachiro’s pictures up there?  That’s the work of a young lady named Kiersten R. Nichols that I found a few months ago while looking at possible artists for upcoming Nic3Ntertainment projects.  I liked her work and decided to hire her for the art to be used in the book trailers that will be making the rounds soon.

Kiersten’s easy to work with, dependable, and has good prices.  If you need some artwork done I’d highly suggest heading over to her site (by clicking on her name) and buyin’ yourself some artwork.
