Generations into the future, a crew of renegades known as the Skyscrapers uncover their disturbing human past after a sinister Artificial Intelligent being stores all relics of human history - guarded by monstrosities - throughout our known galaxy.
Chapter 3 is now up!
However, in the process, I accidentally nuked chapter 1 and lost all those nice comments people left. You would think I would know how computers work, because, you know, I fix them for a living. Fear not, I have re-uploaded the first chapter so you can read the first three chapters in succession..almost LIKE A REAL BOOK! (science is amazing)
Anyways, in addition to having a whole new chapter to read, I have another annoucement to make! For everyone that pre-orders the book while the funding period is in effect, I’m offering you a nifty magnet of the awesome cover art! I only had 250 of these things made (gee, why would I pick that number?), so everyone who has already pre-ordered is eligible to get one for every copy they snagged. I will be reaching out to all my readers personally to get shipping info. I should have the magnets ready to go out by next week! If you don’t want one (or are allergic to magnets), that’s fine, I’ll still love you and hope to do another bigger giveway once we get closer to Quill.
And we will, I know we will. Spread the word! Feedback on the uploaded chapters would also be shiny and as always, thanks for all the support!

A very merry Wednesday to you!
You guys are great. Like, seriously great. I know a few of you have been spreading the word because more orders came in overnight. Only 7 more to go by midnight if you want to see a new excerpt tomorrow.
I also noticed a lot of new followers, so thank you guys for your interest! Please let me know what I can do to convince you this is a book worth ordering.
For those of you who have placed an order, I doodled a little badge that can be shared across your social channels if you like.
I’m considering putting more together with different themes, so you can let me know if that’s something you’re into.
Just to recap, this week is about sharing via word of mouth. If we all tell a different person each day how excited we are about The Traveller’s Cup, it’s bound to keep gaining attention. And that puts it in line for publication.
Reminder: For every day we get 10 or more pre-orders I’ll provide a new excerpt from the story. So let’s get the remaining 7 by midnight EST!
Your Irreparably Chaotic Commander,

Just a positive thought for today.
Keep dreaming, fellow authors.
That is all.

It’s Super Tuesday in the United States and I would highly encourage everyone who is able to take a long lunch break, go to your polling place, cast your vote, and then go eat a delicious cheeseburger (or your comfort food of choice). Once having eaten the cheeseburger, come back to Inkshares and let’s discuss something more fun - editing! I am setting aside Tuesday evenings to be Editing Days, in which I find a local coffee shop (with donuts), I camp out, and I work on making Lucky the best that she can be. What are your thoughts? What would make you back this project without hesitation, if you haven’t already? Feel free to reach out and connect and to share with your friends, your family, maybe even random folks on the street:

Hope to hear from you!
