We made it, friends - thanks to my dear friend Amy, we crossed the finish line at about noon today ... we’re in production now!!!  I’ll keep you all posted as we go - I can’t believe it!  And thank you all SO SO SO MUCH ... your belief in me and your support mean EVERYTHING.  This has been my dream since I was a little boy clacking away on a big hundred pound slate-blue typewriter my mom brought home from the school library sale.  And you’re all making it possible.  I love you and thank you!

Thank you, Stephen - I really appreciate that!

Enjoyed the sample chapters! It’s a small detail but I really like the descriptions of Theo’s dancing. Wishing you luck!

So excited tonight, y’all -- we reached 375 pre-orders tonight, which is the halfway point!  Thank you all SO MUCH!!!  We can do this!

More exciting BLACK FOREST news! I’m a "syndicate pick" ... here’s what a syndicate is ... "A syndicate is a group of people who pool their money together to support a different Inkshares book each month. The advantage of a syndicate is that it allows readers to more passively support Inkshares writers. Syndicate leads do most of the work." This syndicate is run by an Inkshares staff-member named Avalon Marissa Radys: "I’m part of the Inkshares team. This syndicate supports the underdogs that catch my eye." That’s me!! :)
According to Inkshares: "Here’s why the syndicate lead chose your book:
Inspiring new horror a la Shirley Jackson! Best of luck, Laramie.
Additionally, we’ve annotated your Inkshares book page with a syndicate selection badge. Congrats! "
SO COOL!!!!!!! 15 pre-orders at a shot! BOOM!!!!!
