Hello everyone, 

 Cara Weston is the author of "She is the End" which is seeking funding through Inkshares as well. She's graciously provided me with a bundle of her work to hand out to the next 50 customers who purchase my novel!

Grab yourself a copy of The Children of the Forest, and snag not only a chance to win a $250.00 gift card to Amazon on December 10th, but also a cool piece of collectible art, featuring several of Science-Fiction's best female leads! 

The Children of the Forest only has 4(!!) days left to hit its funding goal for the Quill printing option. Pre-order a copy (or 10) and help me reach my goal before it's too late! https://www.inkshares.com/projects/the-children-of-the-forest

End of November update: I has finished my developmental edits and a quick round of copy editing. I've also filled out the Inkshares paperwork. For everyone out there, their initial packets they have you do are not light reading. It easily takes a few hours to fill out, and a few trips to book stores. 

They ask about your target audience, excerpts you want, what kind of books you like, what covers are appealing to you, why are they appealing. What percentage of your presumed reader base are male or female? So on, and so forth. 

I'm super curious to see how this process goes from here on out. On Tuesday, I turn everything over. I'm glad to see that Inkshares has a very robust initial packet. It's feels good to provide them with some meat. 

I'll keep you guys posted! Now my next step is to continue with a two more rounds of editing. One more developmental edit, even though I already had that done, a second pass never hurt anyone. Then a round of copy editing. This last part, I'm super pumped for. I'm a storyteller, not a writer by trade. So I'm about to pick up a bunch of new skills and grammar rules I probably never even heard of. 

Zac Linnville has already been busting my chops on comma usage in dialogue. :).
