Chapter 4 is now UP! It has been sent to all readers, but if you didn’t get it, I have linked it in the project description. 

Penny gets a briefing from headquarters on the next phase of what she thinks is her final mission and then we get the requisite casino scene. I hope I didn’t disappoint anyone by not elaborating on the finer points of a poker game, I know how action-packed those can be. Some things that work in a movie, don’t necessarily translate well to the page.

Also, I submitted my first chapter draft to a science fiction writing workshop and got some great feedback which helped me with my revisions. Critiques are  big part of the writing process, constructive critiques anyways, so please don’t be afraid to give me some constructive feedback on the submitted chapters and I will certainly return the favor! I will be uploading the revised first chapter sometime this coming week. I’m still working my way through all the chapters I’ve finished and giving them a once over.

Thanks again for all the support! The Nerdist contest is just about over and I want to say a special congratulations to both Christopher Leone and my good friend Michael Haase for reaching their Quill goals! I can’t even imagine how good that must be feeling!

You all have no idea what this means to me...I just passed quill, so no matter what happens in the contest, I’m a published author. I am literally crying right now. Perfect strangers are going to be holding and reading my book...

...unreal. I am uncontrollably happy right now. Thank you for all of your support. 

I will not disappoint. I promise you that. I will uphold my end of the promise of becoming a published author.

I love you all. Truly.

-Michael

Greetings Jackolytes,

Two words. Inkshares syndicates. A question. What do you know about them?

There are currently nine Inkshares syndicates backing authors from a wide variety of backgrounds. Each month these syndicates back a book to try and turn an author’s dreams into reality. They really do make a difference.

Go check them out and see if it’s something you can be a part of. You can find them at www.inkshares.com/syndicates  There’s something there for everyone!

Cheers,

Peter
