The production of 'The Life Engineered' has been an interesting learning experience. It feels like I'm always handing in a revised draft or some fresh edits on something. For a book that was finished on the day it funded, there's a lot of work that needs to be done. Thursday I'm supposed to give in the final, approved, copy edited version of the draft. The 'i's have been dotted and the 't's have been crossed. This machine is assembled and ready to perform.

Because I want this to be as complete and as compelling a reading experience as possible and because I want you to be on the hook for my future projects, I'm including an entire new chapter in 'The Life Engineered'. This will, in fact, be a teaser for the sequel. So there you have it; even more content for your support. Because you deserve it.

We're getting dangerously close to the end of the Nerdist Collection contest and my second Inkshares book needs your help. 'A God in the Shed' is looking for new readers to get into the Top 5 in the contest. If you haven't already, go pre-order a copy now. It's a completely different genre and it may not even be your thing, but it's going to be a pretty damn good book (and I'm usually very self-critical and deprecating) and at the very least you'll be supporting my work on other projects that are more in line with your tastes. At best, you'll be one of the first to have helped make what I hope to be a trilogy come to life.

Thank you for your continued support. I'm eager to get some books in your hands.
