Hey, everyone!

I hope your weekend is off to a great start! I still plan on recording a reading of one of the later chapters of the book, but time has not allotted me an opportunity as of yet. Also, I’ve decided to make it audio only, simply because the last two attempts I made at making a video yesterday were unsuccessful (comical, but unsuccessful). The chapter reading will be in lieu of an issue of the Avalon Chronicler, as I have put 200% of my writing effort into completing the first draft of the novel (lots of coffee, lots of the Pandora trip-hop station, lots of all nighters). 

Good evening to all...unless you’re in another time zone then good whatever time for you. 

Things are going good ever since the campaign ended with Beyond the Code on the happy side of Quill. Set aside some quality rest time after the soul strengthening climb and now I’m back to work. I thought it would be prudent to give you guys a run down of what work I’m doing towards the book you all paid good money for. 

I don’t have any real set dates yet but I can give you a summery of my plan of attack. First of all the name of the game is EDIT EDIT EDIT!! I’m going to completely dedicate every free minute I have towards going through the book and using the advise I have received from the campaign to make this book the best I can. 

Second, and this brings me to a question of opinion for all of you, the subject of beta readers. I was thinking about selecting some volunteers to  be Beta readers for Beyond the Code. You may caught a plot hole I didn’t see or have an idea on something that would be totally awesome in the book. What is your opinion on this system. Email me at Kelsey31@hotmail.com. I’d love to hear from you. 

And third, once those things are taken care of I’m going to be giving the cover art a complete make over. I have some ideas for that but nothings concrete yet so I’ll keep them to myself until I figure out which ones are actually doable. 

That’s it for now. I’ll keep all you lovely people up to date on the happenings of Beyond the Code. A reminder to all you followers who haven’t pre-ordered yet, now that Beyond the Code is officially a thing you can get a physical copy for only $14.99. Cool beans. 

Thank you all soo much for following all this time and I will see you later.
