Just a quick one.  Work continues on the polishing of Exile, Magus as well as the continue development/growth of material beyond the book.  There is some news looming on the horizon, but nothing to announce yet though I will be giving a bit more detailed rundown in the next newsletter which will be sent out 5/1.

There are other things beyond Exile, Magus I want to talk about though.  While my focus tends to be sci-fi/fantasy I do also enjoy more mainstream fiction as well, which unfortunately isn’t currently represented as heavily on Inkshares.  This made me quite happy to hear that For the Love of Fiction Syndicate has been founded with a focus on more mainstream fiction.  More specifically they describe themselves as focusing on fiction, realistic fiction, chick lit, young adult, romance, memoir, and narrative non-fiction.  Hopefully this interests some of you, and you’ll join them in trying to grow the presence of these genres on Inkshares.

Finally, I want to talk about "Scribbles: A Collection of Words" by Tabi Card.  Its down to the final 6 days of its funding period and in need of your help to meet the Quill goal.  The samples posted make it clear that this will be a wonderful collection of short stories which I want in my hands, so I’m hoping you’ll all order copies now so we can make this happen.  She’s also running giveaways for art prints as detailed on the book’s page, and a promotion giving away a signed copy of her story "Five Minutes" to everyone who orders.  She can tell you about it better than I can in the video on her book page which you can also check out here.

That’s all I’ve got for this week, so as always I wish you all a good day(s).  Keep reading and enjoying!
