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.
Dear readers,
I want to announce an exciting opportunity for you all!
Starting today, I am launching the 100 for $100 contest.
Here is how it works:
The names for everyone who orders the next 100 copies of Blood Dawn will be entered in a draw for a $100 amazon gift card (US funds). You can order more than one copy if you choose -- your name will be entered once for every copy you pre-order. As soon as I hit 204 copies (100 pre-orders from the 104 where I'm sitting now), I will print out all the names that go with the pre-orders, and I'll put them in a blue wizard's cap and draw out the name of the lucky winner.
If you've followed Blood Dawn but haven't backed it yet, this is the perfect time to jump in.
You can back the project in two ways:
Want to listen to the opening chapter, or read it, before you decide? Here's a link. You can click on the reading by Paul Inman at the top of the chapter:

So, it begin! Initiates, time to aspire to the priesthood, priests, aspire to godhood, god-kings, reach far, far, if you dare...
