Happy Friday!

There are a few exciting things as far as news goes! We are 56 orders away from making Quill!! We did drop to 6th in the contest, but that’ isn’t so bad. 6th out of 366? I’ll take it. Unfortunately, my network has gone a bit dry. Aside from the stragglers I know who want to make pre-orders but are waiting until an opportune time, I don’t have many left. Well, at least not enough to shoot up to the 3rd place. Those authors knocked this contest out of the park! There is still a month left and miracles can happen, right? 

That being said, we are 56 orders away from making Quill and going into small publishing on Amazon and print-on-demand.  

I was Geekadelphia’s Geek of the Week! Isn’t that cool? Check out the article and you can find out more information about me and the book. 

Cover Art promotion is still going strong. I’m working hard on them. I’ve got a few things in life right now that have slowed down the process, but those of you I’m working with know that I’m still on top of those projects. I volunteer with the Young Friends of Independence National Historical Park as a committee member and every October we do a huge fund raiser to benefit something in Independence National Historical Park (where the liberty bell is). I’m the one in charge of setting up the information booklet for the big party that we throw. On top of that, I offered to donate a painting to be raffled off so.... I’m doing a lot of things right now. 

It is all for a good cause. We’re raising money to preserve a quilt from 1761 and ensuring George Washington’s chest doesn’t crack open again this winter. Seriously, his wooden statue splits like a CGI fault line in a bad disaster movie. We gotta help a Founding Father out. If you’re local to Philadelphia and want to support the project, you can place half-page ads in our event book or attend the Darkside of Philadelphia party on the 14th at 6:00PM. Booze, food, tarot card reader, and some ghostly historical figures. Going to be a fun night. 

There isn’t a character profile today, but I am attaching a link to the story that was created at the Collingswood Book Festival using the Story by Sentence game. I’ll be honest, it is... different. Check it out!
