Hello fellow undead friends...
So, we enter winter finally. The time with the longest night of the year. It’s also the time that you’ve all finally gotten your books after all this time. So, before I start sacrificing small chickens to get reviews from people... let’s get you reading. Here is what you need to know!
The Digital Ebook... Mobi, PDF, Kindle versions will be available for all you backers THIS FRIDAY! Early! When the time comes, you’ll be able to download them from your Inkshares bookshelf by clicking HERE and signing in with the same email or facebook login you used to order the book. Simply click on your picture to the right, and download your style. I’m sure that there will be an email sent out from inkshares about it.
The physical book should be shipping soon, or very soon. Check your email, check your spam folders and make sure that you got a confirmation email of shipping address. Hopefully, you all get them in time for this:
Feel free to bring your books to the event and I’ll gladly sign them!
I’ll also be at Midwinter Gaming Convention in 7 days and Emerald City Comic Con in early March.
For now, I just want to issue a massive thank you from the bottom of my heart to all those who helped me out in the contest over a year ago to bring things to where they are now. Now it’s time for you guys to finally enjoy some apocalyptic fiction and me to keep writing!
Thank you so much everyone!

Dear friends and followers,
Happy new year! By now, you should all have gotten the news that we’ve made our goal, a month early. Or, more precisely, that we’ve made the top three on The List, which means the same result without having to actually hit the full 750 orders. This is pretty awesome, and it’s all thanks to you. Every one of you who pre-ordered, who spread the word, who got your friends to pre-order or even just to look at the book: thank you. Thank you so much.
So, now that we’re "in production", what does that mean? When will you get your books?
I know I’ve been saying that books will probably be out around November 2017, and that was a conservative estimate back in March when I started. But the volume of books going through Inkshares of late means that the production process is longer now than it used to be. Here is what Inkshares has to say about the production process. According to this, it could be twelve to eighteen months from the moment I submit my manuscript before the book comes out. In short: between January and June 2018.
I know. I’m a little dismayed too. But it’s still miles better than not getting it out at all, so it’s still a cause for celebration.
Again, thank you for everything. Let’s party like it’s 1925!
My heartfelt congratulations to the winners of Inkshares’ first-ever The List contest! @James Rasile for Cape’s Side Bay, @Christopher Huang for Murder at the Veterans’ Club, and @Matt Harry for Sorcery for Beginners. Awesome books! Well-deserved!! Wow!!! :D
Well, 2016 is on its deathbed. Appropriate analogy all things considered. We’ve said goodbye to many this year, although to be honest the famous deaths of this year didn’t really register in my ecosystem until the very end. Seeing as I don’t remember a world that didn’t have Princess Leia or Singing in the Rain in it, I definitely felt something when those two passed. To have them do so within days of my grandmother passing away definitely put a more subdued end on a year filled with frustration and stress. That said, there were some things I enjoyed about this year. Here are some highlights.
So, yeah it’s been an interesting year. Rounding out the year watching the entire Harry Potter series with my daughter was another moment, including giving her book one in both German and English for Christmas. I’m so proud of her development as a linguist. Watching her interact with those in need on Christmas Eve, seeing the smiles on their faces when she spoke with them. It warmed the heart.
2017.
Looking straight at you now. What’s coming? Well, I don’t know. 2016 definitely did not go according to plan (except the release of Rise. That did happen as planned.) So, who knows what will happen but here’s what I intend on doing.
Onward!

Hey gang! Been a while...right to it then! But first, thanks for being the best! Seriously, I couldn’t do these awesome things without you.
