Many of you follow me on Facebook, so some of this news won’t be quite as fresh for you as it will be for others.  Keep reading anyway - there’s some good exclusive stuff coming up towards the end.

First: we made Quill.  We sold 250+ books.  We will be published.  Thank you.  Thank you for having faith in my writing, for promoting my book to your friends, for believing that I will actually produce something worth supporting.  Thank you.  I won’t let you down.

We do have a month longer for preorders.  I’m mostly focusing on writing and editing this month - more on that in a second - but if we somehow get a lot of folks attentions, I may dedicate some time to pushing for 750 preorders and full publishing support from Inkshares.  That’s a big lift, however, and therefore a big if.   I’ll update you guys if anything changes.

In the meantime, I will continue updating you guys on this page with fresh excerpts every few weeks while I work towards completing a manuscript worth sending to my editor.  I’m hoping to get most of that work done this month.  Sometimes I may throw some other content as well.

As a thank you, I put up a new excerpt  It’s a little different from the other excerpts: a poem I wrote today that has a good chance of making it into the novel.  It may help elucidate some of the larger themes of the book.  My strengths lie more in stories than they do in poetry, so any feedback is definitely appreciated.  You all are a part of this novel, and I take your opinions very seriously.

Thanks guys.  You’re really the best.

Warmly,

Jarrod
