Good morning all.

Just a quick update on the progress of the book campaign.  We have 57 days left until November 14, and we’re sitting at 169 orders of the necessary 250 to publish.  We’re ahead of pace to make our goal, which is the good news.  The slightly more nerve-wracking news is we’re ahead by one book.  So it looks like this is going to be a tight race.  If you haven’t ordered yet, or are interested in ordering a second copy, or want to donate an eBook preorder to help the book get published, I can’t tell you how much I’d appreciate it.  But I’d try.

The book itself is in the middle of its seventh and hopefully final draft.  I’ve sent the manuscript out to a few fellow authors who have read it and said some very positive things about it.  I’m toying with an idea to make the story a little tighter, and hopefully once that’s in, I’ll be finished and the book will be ready for the long process of getting released via Inkshares.  And once it gets through that, it’ll be in all of your hands.

So thank you all for the support you’ve shown so far.  We’ve got a little less than two months to pull together and push to the end.  With the love you guys have shown so far, I don’t have any doubt it’s possible.  Only 81 to go.
