Hello wonderful followers, 

I have a couple great things to show and tell you. Things are progressing very well with the production schedule. My final edits with WritingTherapy have been done and now we are doing the galley proof. Chersti with WriterTherapy has said she is really enjoying the book, which is filling me with a giddy energy. 

In other news, COverkitchen and I have hammered down the first looks at Beyond the Code’s new cover art and I feel like it’s in a place where I can finally show it off to all of you. You can see it on Beyond the Code’s Facebook page.

Also, now you can pre-order Beyond the Code on Amazon and through Indigo Bookstores. It’s amazing to see something with my name on it available through a major bookstore. CRAZY!!!! Just look at these links if you don’t believe me.

And if you wanted to be the best fans EVER, you can go into any Indigo or Cole’s bookstore and ask them about Beyond the Code. If we’re lucky, that will urge them to put some copies on there shelves. For a light publishing, that would be INCREDIBLE!!!! 

Thank you all for following me this whole time, it’s been a long time coming but we’re almost to the finish line. And, for those of you who are following Beyond the Code and have not yet pre-ordered, please consider joining the fun. I have been getting alot of good feedback from my beta-readers and editors and I believe it’s definitely worth your time. 

Thanks again and have a good one, 

Kelsey Rae Barthel 

Hazzah! There is much news to report, but first and foremost is the beginning of the new cover!

Below is the frenetic ideas from my rambling lips filtered through the hand and eye of Aaron Harvey (IG and Twitter Alias - @geekfilter).

I have been very busy with my little novel. To all those who are just starting out on Inkshares or are thinking about pushing their draft to the next stage, go on and make that plunge. Yes, it has taken me a while to get to this point, but as I look at my calendar and see the date getting closer and closer, I wonder why I did not do it sooner...because it’s terrifying. Onward!

The manuscript is in the text layout/proofread phase. There have been an overflowing deluge of e-mails and correspondence between myself and my editing team, and I am very happy with what has come out of it. With so many grand ideas on layout and design, I forgot about the most important element, the story, and here we are. After ten years of an ongoing battle with mind and wit, and two years since I first found out about the possibility of publishing, the time has come; December 2017, you will be able to take the U-Turn. 

Thank you all to those who have helped me on my epic journey. Without all your support, I would still be trudging along the depths of self publishing, a seedy underbelly with no checks and balances, where good stories are lost to the masses. 

Congrats to all those new to the Inkshares realm. including Jacqui Castle, author of The Walls are Closing In and six Inkshares Syndicate Picks. The Walls are Closing In is slated for Spring of 2018. 

This is what Inkshares is all about, bringing to life incredible stories written by talented writers.
