Hello everyone,
Sorry about the recent radio silence lately, but in truth, there really hasn't been anything happening here that warrants an update. We're currently sitting at 191 copies of Storm of Fury sold, which leaves us with 59 books remaining and 45 days to sell them.
The number of sales has increased since my last update, which is due to the fantastic efforts of my very generous family. And while every sale is a good one, I can't help but feel disheartened by it. There has been little to no growth in Storm of Fury's following, which is a very bad thing. While I may be able to sell a few here and there, very soon sales will grind to a halt.
As we currently stand, we have to sell more than one copy each day, at the very least, in order to hit 250 copies in time. Some might begin to worry. Others might start to have doubts.
But not me.
I will not doubt this project, not for a single moment and not even in its final day. I do not take my writing lightly, and I've spent years crafting story after story, and I would not dare present one for publishing that wasn't worthy of an audience. I know Storm of Fury is a story worth reading and sharing, I know it's a novel worth publishing. I've seen the reviews my fellow peers and authors have left on SoF's page, and I've seen them rally to support me. The people here at Inkshares have helped SoF rise into the view of potential readers since day one, and I know they'll continue to do so until the end. I couldn't do this without the people I've met here and I couldn't do this without each and every one of you. You, my readers, are the most important part of this whole campaign. You're the reason I haven't given up, for I know that you will someday soon hold a copy of this book in your hands.
Thank you. Thank you for your contributions and continued support.
59 more copies? Peace of cake.

Greetings followers!!
The super cozy blankets are on there way and I've drawn a winner for the 50 pre-orders raffle. AND THE WINNER IS...
Thaddeus Woodman!!! Come on down!! Just kidding. That would be unreasonable. Congratulations on winning the first of what I hope will be many 50 Pre-order point raffles. I hope you enjoy the super soft fleece blanket embroidered with Beyond the Codes cover art.
Lets keep this pace going strong and get Beyond the Code into reality and your hands. Remember that every order gives you a chance in the draw and a special place in my heart.
For all you wonderful people who have taken a chance on my dream I thank you from the bottom of what I can only assume is a soul and wish you the best of luck next draw. But we need to get 42 more orders to draw again so spread the word. Tell your family, tell your friends, tell you enemies, tell everyone and together we'll make this HAPPEN!!
