First of all, I would like to mention I am making progress with the work so that when we do go to pre-order, no one will have to wait that long to receive their copy, which is neat.

Second of all, I would like to thank all the new followers to The Sleeping Man! Unless one is already published, this type of work can get really hard, so to have support makes me keep pushing because I want to do a good job.

Third of all, I bet most of you are wondering what to get me for my birthday, which is... right now. Thirty-one years ago at the moment of writing this I emerged from the woods fully grown. Oh, what's that? You didn't get me anything? Well, if you are reading this, you already did and it's worth more than I can say. Since I'm greedy though, all I want this year from all of the readers of The Sleeping Man is to find me just one more reader. Then we'll be near the 250 mark and then we'll reopen pre-orders.

Sweet Dreams,

Stephen
