Monday.

With the first week of the contest down, I’m still in the Top Ten with 41 pre-orders. I’m thrilled, but I know I can do more. A Beast Requires received two amazing reviews, and it is now up to 19 recommendations. I crave reviews and recommendations. They’re crack to a writer, and feed my need to ensure that everyone is laughing their asses off.
Good news. Laughing your ass off is an amazing weight loss program.
Speaking of asses, my ass will never be an artist. I have created concept art for a lot of the locations in A Beast Requires, and some of them aren’t completely awful.

This is the Effenwood, because even an enchanted forest is ripe for urban renewal.
Thank you everyone for following me, and supporting my endeavor to publish A Beast Requires, and make it into one hell of a melee weapon.

28 days!
Hello Cape’s Side Bayers!
Hope you’re all enjoy this Sunday, and wherever you are the weather is cooperating with whatever plans you may have!
We’re currently down to less than 130 orders to go and it’s time to ramp things up!
I’ve been going back and touching up the manuscript and as I’ve been saying since late January when I first set up the Cape’s Side Bay page here on inkshares: I love it! I cannot wait for you all to read it, the few people who have read it in its entirety have all given me feedback, it’s been positive, just some things to clean up, touch up, and add on!
I love writing and I hope you love reading what I’ve written.
So please, as always, if you have no tyet pre-ordered Cape’s Side Bay let me know what I need to do to get you there! And if you have and what to pre-order again, I won’t argue! Or if you just want to review, recommend, and/or share, that would also put a smile on my face.
Thank you all and enjoy the remainder of the weekend!
