Nov 19, 2015

This is later in the week than I had intended.  The off season at my day job has just recently ended, which has resulted in me having to return to my 4am wake ups to drive an hour to work and the loss of reliability in my update schedule.  I apologize for that.  This has been a busy week in other ways for me as well.

First off, I was on the Vitamin Geek podcast Monday, with the show being made available for your listening pleasure as of today.  So if you've always wanted to know just what an overly nervous, timid voiced, 240 pound, fire-haired/bearded man sounds like as he's flubbing every pitch/synopsis/selling point he had carefully crafted and even written down before hand, then check out the episode on iTunes, Stitcher, or at their site.  Seriously though, while my social awkwardness was heavily on display, I had a lot of fun being on their show and you should definitely check it out.  We talked a bit about my book, literature in general, and ended with a round table on our top 3 fantasy movie picks.  Also be sure to check out some (or all) of their past episodes here.  Between their Vitamin Geek and House or Horrors podcasts they cover all things geek really.

Also, I was happy to see that I received a review on the project page (from Rob Gokee), and especially happy that it let me know that I pulled off with the scene in question exactly what I was going for.  I would love for more of you to post reviews and/or comments, since that is the best indicator to me of where I'm succeeding or failing in my efforts.

Beyond that, with the return to work I've not had much chance to work on anything beyond Book 3 edits and continuing to pitch this first book.  This has also made me realize that I'm most likely not going to be able to continue making 2 updates a week as I had been doing previously.  From now on I will be posting an update on either Thursday, Friday, or Saturday of every week.  Feel free to chime in on which day of the week you would prefer.  Myself, I'm leaning towards Friday around noonish.

I don't really have much more to update you on.  The campaign is continuing on, but isn't making quite the daily progress I would like to have.  After last week's addition of the e-book only purchase option I now have until 1/22 to reach goal, so please help me with that in anyway you can, whether by recommending, sharing, or preordering.

Thanks again for all of the time and support that you've already given me, and enjoy the rest of your week as well as the impending Thanksgiving.
