Good Day Air Pirates!  

We are currently just shy of 100 orders.  Let’s get over the hump before the Holiday weekend!  Place your preorder now to be entered in the "Air Pirate Surprise Raffle" when we reach 250 orders.  

Thank you for your support!  EH

Well, I’m back from my vacation to Banff, Alberta. I have to say it is an extremely beautiful place! If you are suffering from crippling writer’s block I suggest going there because as soon as you see the Rocky Mountains appear out of the mist, you will be filled with inspiration!! 

Although I did not have time to write or edit, I brought back a ton of inspiration. So it’s back to work (even though I hardly consider writing work, because I enjoy it so much). I will be working on the beginning of book four as of now, and going back and forth from part to part organizing chapters. I am editing the books as a whole, going through each just to have a basis. If things change later on I have a chance to revise and change previous parts of the story. So far I am on the beta stage of book one and two, working on three and four (about 50% done Children of the Dire). 

Anyways, I have rambled long enough about my adventures and inspiration. While I was gone we reached 40 readers! That is an achievement in my books. So thank you to you all for the continued support!! It means the world to me to see people interested in my work. As a special bonus I will upload another chapter with a new character (just so you all are aware the last two chapters have not been chronological, just introductions to give you all a taste of some of the characters featured in the story). 

Thank you again!! 

P.S. I am still on the hunt for beta readers for the first book, please email if interested. 

Yesterday I was informed that The Punch Escrow will be the official inaugural selection for the Geek & Sundry collection on Inkshares! At this point I am still shocked that all of this is happening: That my book is getting published through Inkshares, on the Geek & Sundry imprint. I love you guys, I’ll never be able to give enough thanks for your help in making this happen.

As for the book itself, I’m still in the midst of the first rewrite, currently in the midst of the eighth chapter, The Sky Cries Martyr. In case you want a window into what that looks like, here you go:

As you can imagine, it’s a long and grueling, but living process. For example, even this screenshot is not up to date, as last night I got rid of the "eye cam" reference because it was redundant and slowed down the flow.

Don’t let my pursuit of perfection worry you though, I think I’m well on pace to deliver the rewrite to Inkshares by my August 1 deadline. Once I do that I’ll be able to share a more concrete publication timeline. I’m really looking forward to working with Inkshares and Geek & Sundry on making this book the best it can be. You guys are awesome.

That’s huge. Please don’t stop sharing the posts, or talking to friends about this book: it’s literally only possible to reach our goals with your help.

  Yo readers,

  It’s finally Wednesday, and you know what that means...another chapter update! The long awaited final chapter I will be posting on here: Chapter Four: Society, is up and ready for you all to read. Sorry for the late update, but I had a long meeting earlier about college, money, etc., so please excuse me if this is a bad time! Now, from now on, there will only be organized updates for Sunday, and I may update you all occasionally outside of the regular schedule for any important information, or certain things I would like to share with all of you. Comment, recommend or message me about the last chapter if you’d like to. It all gets better from here on!

  Remember, enjoy your morning/evening wherever you are.

  Until next time, Sixth.

Happy Belated Pubday to Monkey Business!

Monkey Business is done. Available for buying. Available for reading. Available for loving. 

I will do a much better update tomorrow but for now I just want to say thank you to everyone who has been kind enough to support this book. Thank you to Inkshares. Thank you to Girl Friday Productions. Thank you to everyone who is getting this update. You’re all the best.

I have signed all your preorder copies and they should be getting to you in about two weeks (maybe sooner!) I was unable to think of a unique quote to write in every single book but I was able to write something different in a lot of them. As a consequence some of you are going to get some pretty weird shit in your books. I hope it makes it a little more special. Here’s one of my favorites:

One of you (and I have no way of knowing who it will be) is getting an actual 4-leaf clover in your book. Because I found one that day and thought it would be a nice gesture. So whoever you are, enjoy that. I hope it brings you luck.

I’ll write again this week with a proper update. Thank you. Hugs and Kisses from me and all those hairy little foul-mouthed monkeys you’ve helped support.
