THIS IS IT EVERYONE!
Just a quick update to let you all know that I am still working quite hard on Mr. Butler. I enrolled in Camp NaNoWriMo for July and set a goal of writing 70,000 words for the book in 31 days...and I did it in 30:
All 70,024 (and counting!) words were written for Butler. Every day I’m working to make this the best damn book I can make it.
Just thought you, my wonderful investors, my support system, and most importantly, my friends, should know that I am giving this project every single spare moment I have. I’m still aiming for a September manuscript submission. I will keep you updated!
Thanks for hanging in there!
Love to all.

Hi everyone!
Firstly, a huge thank you for choosing to support me and “First on Mars.” I cannot thank you enough for ordering a copy (or even several copies!) and I hope you realize how much it means to me. Before I started, I wasn’t sure that anyone would like what I have to write, but I have been blown away by the amount of positive feedback and support I’m getting. Thank you!
It’s people like you that make it all possible. What is a book without readers?
I’m sending this out to you all to ask for one more thing so that this book can actually be edited and published and become something more…
Please join me this Thursday, August 4th for “First on Mars Share-a-thon.” I’m going to post and tweet a message about “First on Mars” and then I’m asking you to retweet it, share it on facebook, recommend it on goodreads, and/or to your local reading club. If every one of you do this, I will be virtually guaranteed to reach Quill and you will get the best possible version of this book in your hands (or computer/Kindle)!
Remember, here’s what supporters of “First on Mars” get:
There are only 33 days left in the funding campaign, so please help. Thanks!

Despite all of my emails, facebook posts, tweets, videos, and posting of fliers around town, very few people have actually even heard of “First on Mars.” If you doubt me, here are some video view numbers:
This means more people have actually pre-ordered than have watched the latest book trailer (which is slightly longer than one minute).

Story Update:
Any fan or creator of good science fiction will tell you a ship is as much a character as a location. The same rings true for Tantalus Depths. It is with great pleasure that I present you with the vessel responsible for bringing our crew to Tantalus 13...and their only hope of escaping it...
It’s been their home for half a year. It’s been a reliable ship, and Mary’s piloted it skillfully. But when things become disastrous on Tantalus 13, she and the crew be able to escape in time? Can there be any escape at all from the terrors within Tantalus 13?
Find out, when you order Tantalus Depths...
Tantalus Depths has stumbled upon one of the best support bases I could have hoped for. Thanks to you all, we’ve passed the 600 pre-order mark and are soaring on our way to that final goal. As thanks to you for getting us this far, the first three chapters of Tantalus Depths are now uploaded on Inkshares. If you’d like to read them, here’s a quick link to each:
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
If you missed my video of me reading chapter one, check that out here if it interests you. I’ve just uploaded a reading of chapter 2 as well, chapter 3 to be forthcoming in the near future.
Keep bringing in the support! We’re only a little over two weeks away from the end of the campaign, and have a fair amount of ground left to cover. But we can, and will, get there.
