Beginning Chapter 11

I've just finished my own edits for Chapter 10 of The Jellybane and have sent it off to my editor.
Now it's time to start Chapter 11!

Here is an adorable entry submitted by Ashleigh Davenport of Final Beat Comics (beautyofshape@gmail.com) for the Chapter 1 Art Drawing Contest.

The Chapter 2 contest is currently ongoing and will likely continue until I finish Chapter 11, which maybe a month or so. 
The contest is open to everyone and winners earn prize money and a place in the final novel for their work. 

I'm planning on having a contest for each chapter, so that gives you plenty of chances to win!  Even if you don't though, I do plan to show off your entries in videos and posts just like this giving participants some free advertising.

For information on the contest, check out this page.

Chapter 10 is Done! And in Editing.

Alright! Chapter 10: The Jellybane has been written and I will now be editing it for a few days before passing it on to my editor.

In this chapter, due to a chance encounter with a horrifically oversize arachnid, Alice manages to take the first step toward making some new friends in the dangerous monster infested forest.

Also, here is the winning entry for the 1st Chapter Art Drawing Contest! A wonderful piece by Connie Walker.


Another noteworthy entry was this adorable version of Alice by Ashleigh Davenport

Much more info on the contest entries and results in this video:

Thank you both for participating!

Chapter 2's contest is now ongoing and will be for a few weeks!

Chapter 1 Drawing Contest Winner!

Hello hello! Today I announce the first Chapter Art Drawing Contest Winner in this video!
 Couldn't upload here since it is over 100 MB

Special thanks to Connie Walker and Ashleigh Davenport for participating. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work!

With the conclusion of the 1st Chapter Art Contest, I would like to also announce the 2nd, beginning right now with Chapter 2 of the Jellybane.

To enter, all you have to do is read the rules of the Chapter Art Contest Page and email me (kjbaileyad@gmail.com) with your interest in participating so I can send you the most updated versions of the chapters.

As for The Jellybane's progress, I'm nearly done with Chapter 10, so the Chapter 2 contest will likely go on until I'm done with Chapter 11 to give everyone plenty of time to submit entries.

In Chapter 10, the identity of the tiny blue light occasionally seen by Alice is finally revealed.

Find out what is is by becoming a beta reader! 
Just email me at the above address.

Chapter 9 sent to editor and Chapter 1 Drawing contest coming to a close.

Hey folks, a few updates. 

I've finished my own edits for Chapter 9: A Giant Among Giants from The Adventures of Alice Dippleblack, Book 1 - 'The Jellybane' and have now sent it off to my editor.

Once she is done with it, I'll be closing the current Chapter Art Drawing Contest for Chapter 1 and starting the next with Chapter 2, as I myself write Chapter 10.

This means Chapter 1's contest timer is almost up. BUT there is still about a week to go, so you DO have time to submit entries! 
For info on the contest, please visit the following link:


Remember, winners receive a cash prize AND have their work displayed in the final novel! 
No worries if you can't get one in this time though. I'm planning to have drawing contests for each chapter! 
So with 10 chapters already in this book and at least five more books coming after it, there are loads of chances to win!
