Thanks to all those who have ordered Squids In so far. I’m really happy with how this project has come together and with its current 6th place in the Nerdist video-game contest but the competition is not yet over so I am stepping things into high gear.

In recognition of your support I was hoping to get your opinion on some new cover art done by my books illustrator Eugene Karasz over on DeviantArt. 

If the majority of people think that this is an improvement over the current cover, I will swap it over tomorrow, so please comment on this update letting me know your thoughts.

Tomorrow I will also be posting Chapter 2, maybe even Chapter 3 if you’re lucky. My intention will be to continue the audiobook with these chapters too when I find time to record them. I will be sure to update you then.

Soon there will hopefully be a raft of blog posts all about Squids In released into the wild, so I hope you’re not too bored seeing Hendrix the octopus on Twitter, Facebook and on the World Wide Web! You’re about to see a lot more of him.

Have a good evening everyone, I certainly will.

I have written some more of the book and am very excited by some of the plot twists and turns my brain is somehow coming up with. I hope to share Chapter 2 with you by the end of the week (if work allows).

Also, I’ve spoken with my illustrator Karasz over on DeviantArt to see if he could do something with the Squids In cover, to bring it more inline with some of the awesome compositions he has been producing. What we have decided is to create both a brand new piece AND rework the original. We will then share both illustrations on a future update/email and ask you guys which one you like the best. This will again happen towards the end of the week.

For now, let me just leave you with this illustration of Hendrix the octopus enjoying himself...
