What happened to Tony? Well, he’s cooling his jets in the brig as we speak. His crime? Not getting his Inkshares Reader Updates out in a timely fashion. No worries, though. He’s learned his lesson, and he extends his humble apologies for keeping you fine folks waiting for his book.

Speaking of which, when Tony approached me to write my official tell-all story, I thought "Sure! Go ahead! Be sure to make me look good, we’ll slap my face on the cover, and badda-bing! We’ll have it out by next Friday!" What he didn’t tell me was that he was actually going to be writing his first book ever and that it was going to be a bit of a process.

So now I’m here to help convince you fine folks that our mutual friend isn’t some kinda Old West snake oil salesman who rode off out of town with your business. Though, I did find this old photo of him on his Facebook. Judging from the intensity of that mustache, I’m really starting to wonder...

But never mind that now. Impressive facial hair histories aside, I’ve come to tell you that Tony has in fact COMPLETED my story! Yes, the book is written. So what happens now?

Well, if anything is going to have Commander Dax Harrison’s stamp of approval, you better believe it’s going to be my life story. So we’re not quite done yet. Now, Tony will be sending the book out to a select group of trusted beta readers. These folks will review the book for him, and advise him on the stronger parts, the weaker parts, what works, what doesn’t work, what’s great, what’s not so great, what’s downright terrible, and so on. If my story is going to be told, it’s going to be told right!

So hang tight, cadets. This is where the real fun begins. The polish. The spit-shine. Whatever your preference. And I’ll see to it personally that Tony sends you out some regular updates. If he doesn’t, I’ll get some Verdasian moonshine in him, strap him to the hull of my ship and zip around Neptune a couple hundred times.

Yours truly,

(The Legendary) Lt Cdr. Dax Harrison
