A young princess and others must band together to save their world from imminent ecological collapse in this fantasy-adventure story, reminiscent of Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings and Herbert’s Dune.
(This is a reply to Andrew) Full jaeger name: Hodor Hodor? Hodor Fist? Ho Dor? (I think everyone should come up with what their book's jaeger would be, and what the co-pilots would be. A spent a lot of time figuring out mine!)
It was a grey sky above a cracked grey desert. No living thing crossed this place. The name first given to it by man was long forgotten and the true name had never been spoken. It was simply The Desert. It was an ancient place hoarding time as desperately as thirsty men kiss water.
The Sleeping Man walked across the dry, baked ground, counting his steps carefully. There was no landmark, no star, no wind to guide his way. There were only instructions which had been carved into. . .

Hello readers! I hope this update finds you well - Inkshares seems to be having some issues with this update feature as I have been trying to send an update for a few days now without any luck. Preorders for The Marsden Wheel keep coming in, which is exciting. We've had some interest from some Steampunk groups both locally and afar, and it is safe to say that even if we do not hit the Inkshares minimum for publication, The Marsden Wheel will be available in print. The support for this project, particularly within the steampunk community, has been great.
Chapter 3 has been added to the Inkshares page, so please come and take a look. In this Chapter, Jack Dagon begins his investigation at the H.R. Fowler Company. Inkshares' chapter organization is not particularly intuitive, so I made Chapter 3 the "featured" chapter, which should make it easier to locate.
Thanks again, and for those of you asking how you can help support this project, please tweet, share, comment, email, and tell your friends. Thank you all.
Lindsey Buroker promoted my project on twitter! Look!
Lindsey is a YA author who has written several fantasy series and is an important voice in the self-publishing community. She has been an incredible resource and source of inspiration for me, and I highly recommend her blog.
On the off chance that she might see my message and have the time, I emailed her and asked her to check out my page on Inkshares... and she promoted me! Ahhh!! No pre-orders have come of it, but that's okay. It's still exciting!
I also made a recommendation for the Inkshares blog Week Two Top Ten article, which is cool because maybe then you'll all go pre-order Drift. DO IT.
In other news, I think episode III will be up on Saturday because it's a mess and I have to fix it. Balance competing motivations, they say! BUILD TENSION, they say! How do I write BETTER?? Sheesh.
Anyway,
