Hello Knightmares!
I’ve posted the novel’s new Prologue chapter, along with updated versions of Chapters 1 & 2. Any feedback is welcome, as I’d love to see reader’s thoughts on the updates. Looking ahead, I’m beginning work on marketing for the novel’s Summer push for pre-orders. Over the next month, I’ll be posting additional samples and promo-material, including artwork, pins, and posters.
I know I haven’t updated the Inkshares page as often as I would have liked, but hopefully I can keep to this schedule going forward. I also noticed that I’ve picked up a considerable number of new followers. Thank you for subscribing either to the book, or to myself, and please consider pre-ordering a copy of The Children of the Forest if you’ve yet to do so.
That’s all for today ~ enjoy the new chapters and keep your eyes peeled for more in the coming days.
Quick Pilot X Update
So things are progressing well and the best thing of all is we have an official publication date!
Pilot X is set to come out March 14, 2017.
Your early support and patience will definitely be rewarded.
I met with the fine folks at Girl Friday Productions last week to talk over the plan and we’re in the process of settling on cover art. Very excited. The visual style will be a big departure from my video, I promise, Heh.
THE EDIT!
Got the first edit back from Clete with some excellent suggestions. Very excited that one of the suggestions was not "hmm, you should start over." So that’s positive!
Actually the book is in better shape than I expected with some areas that need clarification and mostly concentrating on keeping it friendly to new readers. So I’m 100% confident this is going to be a better book than it was before. I sent my first pass back to Clete yesterday.
RANDOM BOOK FACT
If you were at a party on Alenda you might find yourself eating a creamed farragut pastry and a bottle of Kreistner’s Malt .
Thanks again for your belief in and support for this book! I wish it was March already.
Tom
It’s the last day to help fund Deus Hex Machina, and I’m in a giving mood.
EVERY order today will get a gift from me: a graphic novel short story I wrote as part of the compilation Winter’s Eye (available on Amazon here).
So how can you, the book supporter who’s already ordered help? Please get ask one friend to order to the book today!
Yes I know it’s an impossible task, but I have visions of full funding today. Of waking up to 750 orders. That’s only 450. NBD. Totally doable. Do I *know* 450 people? NOPE. Aye, there’s the rub.
Love to all you crazy book lovers. You’re the reason this book is a thing.
See you on the other side of funding
