Hey there wonderful people

I just wanted to spread my geedines in the fact that I made it past 50 pre-orders! WOOOOOOT! I know it's not that much but you take your jollies where you can. I'm 1/5 of the way there and climbing. But we need to keep up the pace. If you like this fast paced, action packed, round house kick to your imagination give me a chance to entertain you and preorder please. And if you like it, you really really like it recommend it. Tell your family. Tell your friends. Tell your enemies. Tell everyone. We can do this!! 

...maybe I should lay off the coffee and candy before I do this updates. Thanks for your time.

Hey there wonderful people, 

I thought I would take the time to share some very kind and encouraging words from Joseph Asphahani the author of The Animal in Man. In his last update he spoke of three projects on Inkshares that he thought were worth your patronage. The projects were Exile, Magus by Thomas J.Arnold, Transilience by Kevin Bragg, and (to my utmost excitement) Beyond the Code by yours truly. Here's what he wrote. 

"Yesterday morning I was late to work because I literally could not stop reading Kelsey Rae Barthel’s “Beyond the Code”. Hot damn this story is full of action! At least the first chapter is, and I trust there's more. The whole thing is just one continuous fight between two badasses. I’ve told Ms. Barthel that the setting, the setup, the sword-swings all remind me of some of the darkest, most sinister places I’ve visited in my long career as a video gamer. The pace is just as riveting and intense as what I'd gladly call a GOTY (uh, that's Game of the Year). I know you’ll enjoy it. CLICK HERE to see for yourself how right I am about that."

Woot woot!! Thank you so much Joseph. Those words mean a great deal in keeping me going through this campaign. 

It's been a good campaign so far but we need to step it up. If your impressed by this glowing review or you've caught the BTC fever please pre-order so we can hit Quill and make this a reality. Whether you got some extra credits or you just love this book so far please pre-order while the campaign is still going. I'm even willing to do pre-order swaps with the other authors on Inkshares.

For those of you who have already supported my dream thank you soo much and I am working tirelessly to give you a fantastic read.

Thanks for your time

Hello there wonderful people. 

Finally came through and have a polished chapter 1 posted. I've fixed alot of the issues that some of you have brought up so take a gander and let me know what you think. Thank you all soo much for all the support, advice, and kind words. The pre-orders didn't hurt either. 

As always I'm working my hardest to bring you the best product I can give and I hope you all like the results. To all my followers who are liking what they see please don't forget to pre-order so we can make the coffee infused dream of publishing Beyond the Code a reality. 

All the best

Hello there wonderful people, 

I have just posted Chapter 12 of Beyond the Code. You'll see the beginning fail out from the dramatic conclusion of the last chapter. I hope you like it. 

I am working on the revised chapter 1 right now and will get it to you as soon as I can. I've received a hardy helping of editorial help from on of our fellow Inkshares authors and I am more determined then ever to bring you the best product I can. Wish me luck and I hope i don't disappoint. 

Thank you all for your support. If you haven't already pre-ordered the book yet and you like what you've seen please do, it would make me the freakishly happy. If you already have pre-ordered you are on my "favourite people in the world" list because you're awesome.  

Greetings wonderful people, 

I have just posted a new shiny book trailer made up by Yicheng Liu. Take a look and see what you think. I personally am really impressed by the results and I hope you are too. 

Also we have reached to 35 sold goal. I will be posting chapter 12 very soon and a re-polished chapter 1 hopefully soon after that (still working on it)

I hope everyone's had a jolly happy Christmas and a good New Years to come. If you've liked what you've seen so far don't forget to pre-order. If you already have thank you so much for your continuing support. 

Hello there wonderful people,

I wanted to take this opportunity to wish everyone a merry Christmas and happy holidays. I hope you've all been well and not too over whelmed by the stresses of this time of year. Thank you all for your continuing support. I'm working hard to polish my work to be the best it can be and in the next bit Ill be posting a re-edited chapter 1. If you like what you've seen so far don't forget to pre-order. It would really make my Christmas. For those who have already ordered thank you soo much for your support and faith in my work. 

Happy holidays

I can't saw this enough but thank you all for your continuing support. And if you like what you've seen so far please remember to pre-order to help this crazy dream come true. If we make it to 35 copies ordered I'll post 2 more chapters. You be able to see the fallout of the last chapters dramatic conclusion and you will also become one of my favourite people in the whole of the verse.  

For those of you who already have pre-ordered, each and every one of you is a gentleman or woman and a scholar. Thank you so much.
