All,
Here it is - the final, FINAL version of the cover of Ageless. It's all thanks to you!
I would have never guessed last May/June would be such a major turning point for me as a writer. You guys have help me accomplish one of my dreams. I cannot put into words the appreciation that I feel, so I will just say thanks again.
Paul
Hey all,
There's so much happening so it's time for another update.
News:
THE SWORD AND LASER is back!
The contest that got us all here is back to give more aspiring authors the opportunity to be published. Right now only three books have been submitted and I haven't had time to check them out, but, much like blood, there will recommendations. If any of you have a sci-fi or fantasy manuscript rattling in the back of a drawer somewhere, throw it and yourself into the ring. Go on! You can do it!

More News:
If anyone is in or around Chicago this week, I highly recommend you check out the 2015 Deathscribe Festival of horror-filled radio plays. It's this coming Monday the 7th at 8PM at the Mayne Stage Theatre. For more information, visit: http://www.wildclawtheatre.com/deathscribe-2015/
And finally, look what arrived at Inkshares today:
GALLEYS! I have galleys! My book is a real life thing and not just a collection of electrons blinking across a circuit board. Oh and for those of you too impatient to wait, I should warn you, these promotional copies come with their own theft deterent system.
More news to come. Until then, thank you all and beware of dog.
Hey everyone, I want to give a special thanks to the two purchases I've already received. I'm really thrilled that there's some excitement for this story. It's been mostly a side-project while I've been toiling away on The Children of the Forest, but the Sword & Laser Contest (Part Deux) seemed like the perfect time to get the ball rolling!
I will be extending my promotion for The Children of the Forest to this story as well. Meaning that the first 50 buyers will receive a custom card, decorated by the lovely and extremely talented Cara Weston, author of She is the End. It's a fantastic story, and I can't recommend it enough, if you haven't yet, go over and give it a look.

Also, I will be extending backers to The Darkest Places the same reward I've featured on The Children of the Forest. Every purchase nets you X 1 chance for a drawing on December 10th to win a $250.00 Amazon Gift Card. If you purchase a copy of both of my books, I will double each entry (X 4 tickets total!!)
So thanks again for the follows and the support, and make sure you spread the word for The Darkest Places so I can get this thing published!
