Well my friends, we did not win a Dragon Award. I was however at the ceremony and must say, it’s a privilege to have been nominated in the first year. There was a level of class (though some tremendous mispronunciation of my name) in these proceedings.

The Dragon Awards, if the they follow this course, may just be the classy award for fan favourite media that we’ve been hoping for. Not that other awards aren’t great, but Dragon Con has always been ’the people’s con’ and having been there myself, I can see why. So it makes sense that their award would follow that ideology.

In other news, I have to apologize. I had grandiose plans to have the campaign for Arch-Android, the sequel to The Life Engineered, ready for this coming weekend. I can’t say that this will be possible. Other obligations have piled up and I have to postpone. Worry not, the campaign is coming and the book will be in the spirit of the first one.

Thanks again for your continued support. Next year... we’ll get that award next year.

Guess what?
 

Yes, I am absolutely the kind of person who’d use his birthday to guilt people into ordering his book. At this point, that shouldn’t surprise anyone.

If you’d like to send some birthday cheer my way, please consider pre-ordering Tantalus Depths, and get some friends and family to do the same!

** this offer ends on September 16th**

Order Arcadia ( spirit level ) to win a chance to decide Carolane’s fate.

Carolane is a bonus story that will be added to the book. and of course the winner name will be in the book as a contributor to that story.

Once again thank you for your great support
