Goooooooooood afternoon everyone! It’s been a couple days since I’ve sent out any updates, so I just wanted to give you a quick little run-down about how things have been progressing and what you can expect to see from me in the next coming days.

First of all, I want to thank each and every one of you who have either pre-ordered a copy of Seven Devils or have taken the time to read the first chapter. I’ve received nothing but positive feedback with this project, and the renewed hope and strength that you’ve given me because of it means more than I could ever put into words. Because of this, I want to make it my goal that each and every one of you who pre-ordered my novel will receive a signed copy and a mention in the acknowledgements page. I know I’m falling on the shorter end of the spectrum as far as the Nerdist contest goes, but even with or without Inkshares, I will be moving forward with the publication of Seven Devils and the many novels that will be following it in its stead.

For those of you who are on the fence about pre-ordering Seven Devils, I have good news! We’re only one order away from releasing the second chapter. If you’re anything like me, I like to see a good chunk of work in progression before tossing my hard earned cash at anyone, let alone a stranger on the internet. I gotchu. The game plan here is that with every 25 pre-orders, I’ll be releasing another chapter of Seven Devils for the public! So even if you are a follower and just wanting to see how the novel is developing and what lays in wait for our protagonist, you’ll be able to do just that.

Lastly, I know that there are a lot of other burgeoning authors like myself out there who are trying to get as much recognition as I am. I don’t see this as competition but rather, a team effort, and for those that are following and pre-ordering my work, you can guarantee that I will be pre-ordering a copy of your book as well.

 Some of you have been receiving a lot of these emails, so I’ll keep this one short so you can get back to your lives and loved ones. I just wanted to give a shout out to everyone here who has been supporting me since day one, and none of you go unappreciated or overlooked. That being said, I look forward to posting the second chapter here shortly, so stay tuned!
