 The story centers on XE7, a cyborg on a spiritual journey who discovers the unknown. He begins to realize that things in recorded history contradict with facts he has observed in real life and begins to open up his mind to the supernatural. He finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, at a major crime scene, leading him to a Cyber-terrorism scandal and trouble with FACET – The First Authority in Cyber Espionage and Terrorism. Packaged as a slick, futuristic thriller, the compelling storyline keeps you guessing till the end. Will logic overcome belief? Find out in Xero Error slated for release late 2009.

James Mohan from St. Paul, Minneapolis sends us a cool new entry for the Art of Xero Error Competition.

James says: ‘This is based on my comic strip, DEXTER’S. Dexter’s is the name of the fast-food restaurant where my characters work. Harold (a ram) is the one in the XE7 costume. Homer (a dog) is the one behind the counter.’

We wish you the best of luck for the competition, Jim!

Note from Ashraf Ghori:

Just wanted to inform all my good friends on facebook of an unexpected event. While trying to promote ‘The Art of Xero Error Competition’, facebook being the ‘social’ site they are, have disabled my account with hardly a warning and have not replied to repeated emails from me.  I am hopeful they get back soon and things go on as before. Although I am not aware of all the repercussions, you might lose access to certain pages and links from me. I do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and look forward to get back in touch. Fingers crossed.

If you would like to get in touch with me please email me at ghori@x-panse.com
