Hey there wonderful people, 

I am over the moon and having a wonderful day. We are currently at 126 orders which means...WE’RE HALF WAY TO QUILL!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!!

We now half 69 days to sell 124 copies of Beyond the Code and I believe we can do this. Please pre-order if you want to help me make this caffeine induced dream a caffeine induced reality. To all those who have helped me get this far you will forever be my favourite people and I am working tirelessly to get you the best product I can.

Have a fantastic weekend.  

Greetings wonderful people, 

I have been interviewed by Christine Brennecke, a fellow Inkshares author, for her blog Myths, Mists & Musing. I feel like I’m going places. We discuss Beyond the Code, my writing process, and general other Kelsey stuff. Check it out. It was a real new experience for me.

Also we are past the half way point in this campaign and we’re doing pretty good but we can do better. If you want to see Beyond the Code as a reality pre-order a copy now. Times a ticking. 

In closing thank you all of those who have backed my work so far, please pre-order if you haven’t, and check out Christine Brennecke’s blog. 

Goodnight everyone

We’ve broke 100 pre-orders and you know what that means...50 POINT RAFFLE TIME!!!

That’s right! We’ve finally made it to 100 book orders. I’m super excited that you’ve all taken the time to help back my work. Now time for the raffle. And the winner is...  JASON POMERANCE!!!!!

Congratulations!!! Your super soft blanket will be in the mail soon.

This campaign has been an real joyous and at the same time frightening experience so far but it’s not over yet. The road is a little less than half way done and we are just shy of half way there. If you like my hard work please don’t forget to pre-order. Not only will you get good karma for helping a dream come true and have a good book to read, also in another 50 orders you’ll have a chance to win a nice, soft fleece blanket. 

Thank you all so much for your continuing support and feedback and I hope you have a great weekend. 

Greetings wonderful people. 

The newly edited Chapter 3 is up and running. Please take a look and let me know what you think. I always appreciate feedback and I hope you like it. 

We are around the half way point of this campaign and I can’t say enough to thank everyone for the continuing support that I’ve seen from this community. But like everyone with a project on Inkshares I am holding on to hope of making it to Quill. So please please please please put in a pre-order for Beyond the Code if you like what I put my heart and time into. Not only will you get a first edition of my book you’ll also get entered into a raffle for a cozy blanket with Beyond the Codes cover art embroidered on it and you get plenty of good karma from helping a friend’s dream come true. We only have 20 more orders till our next raffle.  

So if you are following Beyond the Code and you like what your reading please pre-order and help me reach Quill. You will take your rightful place as one of my favourite people. 

Thank you so much for your time and Happy Valentines Day. 

Hello there wonderful people

I've decided to do something rash!! 

I've taken off every chapter from Chapter 2 on down from the page and have dedicated myself to do some mad melon editing. I'm taking all the advice of experience gained from this journey and using it to re-edit the chapters posted and will repost them as I finish. I'm doing this due to the restructuring of a couple of them. It would be a bit difficult to do the reposting piece meal so I'm whipping the board and starting over. I have already re-posted chapters 1 and 2 so feel free to take a look and give me some feedback. I would really appreciate it, 

Don't forget to get your pre-order in and get a chance to win a super cozy blanket with Beyond the Code cover art on it. You'll get good karma points for helping little old me make my dream come true and you can snuggle up with a good read and a super soft blanket. 

Thank you all for your continuing support.

Greetings followers!!

The super cozy blankets are on there way and I've drawn a winner for the 50 pre-orders raffle. AND THE WINNER IS...

Thaddeus Woodman!!! Come on down!! Just kidding. That would be unreasonable. Congratulations on winning the first of what I hope will be many 50 Pre-order point raffles. I hope you enjoy the super soft fleece blanket embroidered with Beyond the Codes cover art. 

Lets keep this pace going strong and get Beyond the Code into reality and your hands. Remember that every order gives you a chance in the draw and a special place in my heart. 

For all you wonderful people who have taken a chance on my dream I thank you from the bottom of what I can only assume is a soul and wish you the best of luck next draw. But we need to get 42 more orders to draw again so spread the word. Tell your family, tell your friends, tell you enemies, tell everyone and together we'll make this HAPPEN!!

Hey there wonderful people 

I have an announcement to make. I've decided to follow in the footsteps of other fellow Inkshares authers and start a series of preorder raffles!!

For every 50 preorders sold I will raffle off a prize of a lovely fleece blanket with my cool beans cover art on it. I will post a picture of the prize as soon as I can. 

Well well look at that. There are already 50 copies sold. That means I have the first of hopefully many raffles to do. I will post the lucky winner soon. 

Thank you all for your continuing support and don't forget to preorder for your chance to win a lovely price.

Hey there wonderful 

Things are going good. I am currently working on the revised chapter two and should have that to you soon. I am also very curious what you thought of the changes on chapter one. It's solved some of the issues some of you have brought up and I would love to hear your feedback.  

Also I have some credits in need of spending and am interested in order swaps. If youre interested in a order swap email me at kelsey31@hotmail.com or drop me a line on twitter @BTC INKSHARES

Thanks for your continuing support
