I want to write something deep and meaningful but in truth I can barely see straight. I can't stop smiling and I want jump up and down and yell at the top of my lungs!!!
Just over 24 hours to go! We are almost there!!!
We even made it into 2nd place for a while again last night (Sorry Matt!)
Just one more little push and we can do it! Any of you who are following but haven’t pre-ordered, I would be extremely grateful if you could do so before the end of the contest! Any fellow inkshares authors, I will be more than happy to reciprocate (if I’ve missed anyone so far please pitch me and I’ll fix that).
Also, if any of you haven’t yet, I have to ask once more – please recommend the book to a friend, family member or acquaintance. We are soooooo close to a full publishing deal!!! I think I am excited and terrified in equal measure!
I also wanted to thank Cedrick Lui for this amazing blog post he recently posted about The Bones of the Past: http://www.cedricklui.com/blog/2016/1/8/bones-of-the-past-fantasy-novel
Cedrick is the man behind the Son of God Digital Comic which you should all check out as well!
Thank you, thank you, thank you yet again for all your help and support!
A Quick mid-week update!
I just finished a hangout with Sword and Laser’s Veronica and Tom, as well as my fellow Inkshares authors Joseph Asphahani - The Animal in Man, and Matthew Sobin - The Last Machine in the Solar System.
You can watch the interview in full here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BT-qJERU_s&feature=youtu.be
The event was a lot of fun and gave all three of us the opportunity to discuss our projects. Joseph even pre-ordered my book just after the event, and I have now reciprocated! (Thanks Joseph!)
We’re still in 3rd place and that is fantastic! But anything can happen in the time that remains. So for the days, hours, and minutes that remain, we need to keep the momentum going. There are still a lot of people following the project who haven’t clicked that pre-order button – there’s no better time than now to pick up a copy!
There are now 2 days, 16 hours and 32 minutes left in this contest - yes I have a countdown timer on my desktop :)
Thank you all again and again for your help and support!!!

Hello everyone!!
We're in the final stretch! There are only 6 DAYS LEFT (and 2 hours and 20 minutes)! We are still in 3rd position and up to 207 readers! Your support is humbling and very, very much appreciated. I can’t thank each and every one of you enough!
In other amazing news - I’ve been invited to take part in the Sword and Laser podcast (yes, the people behind the Sword and Laser contest we’re trying to win!). I’m really excited about being on the show and having an opportunity to share a little more about The Bones of the Past! You can keep an eye out for the broadcast here: http://swordandlaser.com/
We still have a few days to go, and as we’ve already seen in this competition, everything can change in a matter of hours. So we need to keep the momentum going right up until the end; please, if you haven’t hit that pre-order button yet, do it now! (if you’re unsure it will say “order again” if you’ve already ordered). Also, please ask a friend, family member or acquaintance to join in! Every single pre-order is incredibly important!
Remember I’ll be drawing 2 names (or hopefully 4 if we finish in the top 3) from all of those who have pre-ordered my book to win a 50$ gift card each. The draw will take place on January 16th!

Thank you all yet again for your continued help and support!
Looking forward to some downtime after the contest is finally over :)
Hello everyone!
As always, I have to start by thanking all of you for your support! After a brief scare over the weekend (I think I aged a decade over those few hours), we are back in 3rd place in the Sword and Laser contest!
I am extremely grateful to all of you, and so I have decided to emulate some of my fellow Inkshares authors and thank you with a gift card draw on January 15th. Specifically, I’ll be drawing 2 names from all of those who have pre-ordered my book to win a 50$ gift card each… More, if we finish in the top 3 at 3pm eastern time on January 15th- I’ll double it and draw another 2 names.
This contest is still anyone’s game, and we have 11 more days to hold on to one of the top 3 spots. Every single reader is hugely important and could easily make the difference. So I have to ask again, if you are following the project but haven’t hit that pre-order button, please do so. If you have, please ask your significant other, friends and parents to sign up!
I also wanted to share a screenshot of where my more recent supporters are located. I am amazed looking at this map! It’s hard to believe that my work is being read by people all over the world (and Spain and Hong Kong aren’t even showing anymore).
I am extremely thankful for all of your help and support. I can’t say it enough.
You guys are awesome!!
As a special thank you to those who know me in person but never saw me with hair... This is for you! From all the way back to when Highlander came out!
