Woot! Woot! We just hit 240 orders!  Thank you all for pushing it this far.  Why don’t we close the funding to Quill today...we only need 10 more orders to reach Quill and then I can focus on the editing and stop pestering you guys :)  You’ll gain more chances in the raffle and get the bonus script gift, so it’s all good.  

As an added bonus I’ll be sending another chapter to the final 10 pre-orderers...so let’s do this today and make it Quill sunday!  

Thank you in particular to both of the syndicates that have been singing my praises.  The Idiosyncraticate Syndicate  and The Thriller Night syndicate  why not join up with either or both of these fine establishments, they’re a great pair of organisations to have behind you if you want to get published.  Okay, back to editing and see you on the other side of the Quill border soon!  Hit HERE to pre-order LOUISIANA BLOOD.

So something happened overnight that I wasn’t expecting. We hit the light publishing goal. No matter what, this book is getting published, and I have you generous, handsome, intelligent, marvelous people to thank for it.

I can’t stop smiling.

On the writing front, I am one scene away from finishing chapter 5, and then I’ll send it out to all the backers. Isidore has left Ess-Dee behind, and next she’s heading into the heart of Oh-See, the house of mouse. It’s going to be a blast to write, especially as someone who used to work there.

I want you to know I won’t stop hustling on this project. I still have the Machina Crew rewards for those that refer people to buy the book. Those referrals might be easier now that it’s guaranteed that they will get their book in their hands. I still have 57 days to see if I can get this book fully funded.  But even if I don’t, the book you receive will be professionally edited, with a professional cover and all the love I have for Orange County poured into its pages.

Today though, no hustle. Just writing. Well, writing and smiling.

Dear Friends today is my birthday!!

 I have many reasons to celebrate and one of the main ones is that my dream of becoming a published author will become true on November 8th, and that is thanks to all of you.  

Because it is my birthday, I want to ask you for a small present. Don’t worry it won’t cost you a penny. I want you to please log into your Inkshares account and follow the project for my second novel Worlds Walker.

Here is the link

Worlds Walker is the second book in The Catcher’s Trap trilogy, which I’m currently writing. My vision for this second book is exploring the darkest side of human nature. The first book was all about the evil magical creatures from The Mist and the horrors that human slaves had to endure. I want the second book to speak about our own capacity for cruelty and the idea that humans are not only victims or heroes, we are also aggressors.

I will continue working on this draft while uploading chapters and sharing content with you.

My plan is to launch the actual campaign on April 20th, 2017. Yup, you heard right. A year from today, on my birthday, I will be reaching out to all of you for support, so World Walker can become a reality.

Thanks again and have a drink on my behalf!
