Hi friends!! I have missed you!

Welcome to all of my new followers - I’m so glad you’re here, and I hope to soon put out a book that will satisfy your wildest sci-fi entertainment dreams. I’m getting very close to sending my manuscript out to my beta readers... it always takes longer than you think it will.

I’ve been pretty sick over the last few weeks, but I’m hoping to get back to hardcore editing and sending regular updates now. Never think I don’t love you all, okay?

NEWS

• I’m at 399 pre-orders! That’s fantastic! I can’t wait to see who my order #400 will be from... will it be you?

• I managed to trip and fall into co-hosting a podcast with a few other Inkshares authors - Joe Terzieva, Christine Brenneke, and Rebekka Leber - called Drinkshares: Last Call. We get together every other Monday night and share cocktails via the magic of the internet while discussing books and writing and laughing far too much. Check us out on Youtube, Twitter, and Facebook!

• I am attending WisCon in Madison, WI over Memorial Day weekend! This year I am just attending so that hopefully next year I’ll be ready to have more of an artist/writer presence with my first book published and the sequel on the way. If you’re attending, too, LET ME KNOW SO WE CAN SAY HI TO EACH OTHER!

The Geek and Sundry Hard Science Fiction Contest

There are ten days left in the current Inkshares contest, and there’s one book I want everyone to go support immediately:

The Pirates of Montana by Erin S. Evans!

For 65 million years, the badlands of Montana have held a secret hidden in their depths. Now, this creature will irrevocably change the way humans look at their past, blurring the lines between fact and mythology.

This book sends Jurassic-Park-like shivers down my spine, and the hero is a 15-year-old girl! Help Erin become the first woman to ever place in an Inkshares contest. Pre-order her book!

Until next time...

And a grand hello to all my wonderful followers. We have news. Get comfortable cause this is going to be a long one. 

First of all let’s have the super awesome news. WE’VE DONE IT!! WE’VE MADE QUILL!! THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN!! It’s hard to really express how I’m feeling right now. This is the first full length book I’ve dedicated myself to writing and to see it go so far is nothing less than amazing. But it didn’t make it there on it’s own. It’s because of all of you that my dream is going to become a reality. There are a hand full of amazing people that I want to give a shout out to. They are truly awesome.
