Hello everyone! Long time no update, but with good reason! I’ve been busy working on a mountain of other projects while Storm of Fury made its slow way through the production process. But that is at an end, and the official publishing date for SoF is January 16th!

I’ll send another update next date with further details on prices and such, but in the mean time, thank you for your patience!

Regards,

Andrew Wood

Greetings wonderful followers, 

I just got some exciting news from Inkshares. According to them, Beyond the Code should be all printed up in about two weeks, then they’ll start sending out the purchased copies to my wonderful backers. Can’t wait. Be sure to keep an eye on your email if you have moved in the last while so they can get your new mailing address. Wouldn’t want some stranger enjoying your book. 

Thank you all for following me this far.

Long overdue update, but here goes:

First and foremost, thanks for helping my initial dream of crowdfunding this book exactly one year ago! 

For those of you that started following me quite recently, welcome!

What is happening with Kingdom of Dreams now? 

• Current revised manuscript will go to my editor on 1/31/2018. She will apply a major round of revisions, then kick back to me for approval, more changes, then one final gloss over. 
  
• Final illustrations selected.
• I will then be able to send to production! So yes, 2018 publication! 

I’ll keep you posted, but a lot of the heavy lifting is soon to be out of the way. Looking forward to a productive 2018.

Stay safe and Happy New Year!

Kevin

Hi, everyone! I’ve created a new page for short stories from the world of HOW TO REMEMBER. The collection is called LOST MEMORIES and is available here. Check out the first story, "Choose to Forget," now. It’s about Trinity, a side character from the novel, an abused teen fighting for her strength back.

My amazing designer is developing a new cover for both HOW TO REMEMBER and the story collection. I can’t wait to show you what she’s been working on.

We’ve been sitting at 74 copies since before Christmas, so it’s time to get working. Share the link with everyone you know! And I’m going to be more active on Twitter, so follow me there at @caridubiel. Let’s do this in 2018!

This will be brief.

Set launch date is February 26th

Bookmarks and hand painted postcards will be delivered with the books (if I can convince Inkshares to let me piggyback).  Otherwise, they will be sent at launch.

Y’all are awesome and I have treasured your support.  If ever you need an ear or a second set of eyes, please send me a line on Facebook (Kendra Namednil) or gmail (generosity20@gmail.com).  I can hardly wait for the coming New Year!

’Twas the night before Christmas, and all of that crap
Commander Dax Harrison was caught in a trap
And SAMM hanging clueless in low-power rest
Was no help at all with their unwelcome guest

Dax woke with a daze, head ringing like a bell
Tied up on the bridge and confused as all hell
When, what to his wondering eyes should appear,
But a space pirate jackass, perusing his beer

"What the hell is this?!" Dax said in a huff
"A robbery, Commander. I’m taking your stuff."
Dax glared at the intruder and reached for his hip
And the thief gave a laugh that rang through the ship

Dax’s gun rested in a belt near his crotch
And now the rat bastard was taking his scotch!
"Come on man, it’s Christmas. I was saving that," Dax pled
"What for? Just yourself? That’s pathetic," he said

It was true, Dax was all by himself on this night
With not even a Yuletide one-night-stand found in sight
Though he’d never admit it, he felt it to the bone
For all his fame, Dax spent most Christmases alone

"What a dump!" The thief barked, and Dax took offense
To him, the ship was as home as a white picket fence
"Where’s all the shiny? All the creds? All the loot?"
"In banks," Dax laughed. "You think I stuff it in my boot?"

"Enough," said the pirate. "I’m taking your ship!"
And Dax lost all care to reply with a quip
He thought perhaps maybe the thief would see reason
What better time to try than the holiday season?

"Look, take the booze. I’ve got some to spare.
How ’bout we part ways and get out of each other’s hair?"
"How ’bout I space you?" He resolved with murderous glee
But then Dax cracked a smile. "No please, allow me."

As the thief pondered Dax’s sheer lack of defeat
The Commander watched SAMM’s startup sequence complete
"SAMM!" Dax shouted. "WE GOT A CODE BLACK!"
And he grabbed something sturdy as the thief was yanked back

Away through the airlock he flew like a flash,
As the sudden change in pressure made the whole damn ship thrash
The moon shining brightly on the jettisoned pirate’s face
Gave a small twinkling lustre in Martian colonial space

The A.I. worked swiftly and resealed the door
And Dax’s dinner settled after a brief internal war
"Commander," SAMM posed. "Have you tried making friends?
You might spend Christmas NOT dodging untimely ends."

Dax considered this a moment, but concluded instead:
"Merry Christmas, Sammy. I’m going back to bed."

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to all! Here’s to a lovely year in books and many more to come! By the way, if you would like to give a humble fledgling author a small gift, a review on Amazon goes a long way! Also, you can now order personally signed copies of the book directly at DaxHarrison.com. (I still have a few extras on hand!)

See ya next year!
