Hello all!
Another quick update. We passed 200 orders! Thank you all so very much! This is incredible, I’m still in disbelief. Long long way to go, but very happy at where we sit right now. You’re seriously all the best!
The Geek & Sundry contest is over. Congratulations to Tal M. Klein, Brian Guthrie, and Erin S. Evan! You can still check out and order their books, and be sure to check out the other books in the contest. There are some really great gems in there that can still use your support!
That’s all for me. Please, as always, share, recommend, review, pre-order, talk about, and let’s get Cape’s Side Bay to Quill (and possibly beyond?)!

Hello!
It’s Sunday and we are at 199 orders. Unbelievable. Thank you all SO much.
If any of you reading this plan on ordering Cape’s Side and haven’t yet (or you have some spare credits lying around!), I’d love to hit 200 by tomorrow!
This weekend has been a huge boost, and BIG shout out to Joni Dee for helping me out! It’s a long tough road and help & support from fellow inksharians is always nice! If you haven’t checked out his book, AND THE WOLF SHALL DWELL, you’re missing out!
The GEEK & SUNDRY contest in almost over! It’s been a heck of a month, if you haven’t backed a book yet you have a few more hours to do so!
The top 5 as of this writing are:
THE PUNCH ESCROW by TAL M. KLEIN
THE PIRATES OF MONTANA by ERIN S. EVAN
WE CLOCKED THE T-REX by RONALD VALLE
TANTALUS DEPTHS by EVAN GRAHAM
It’s quite the race and can’t wait to see the outcome! Best of luck to you all!
Finally, I just want to say I cannot believe that this update is going out to 220 people! Thank you all so much for believing in me, this book, and your continued support.
p.s SCRIBBLES by TABI CARD (who designed the Cape’s Side cover art) received an extension until Thursday! Help get SCRIBBLES: A COLLECTION OF WORDS to Quill!
We’re only 8 Pre-orders away!!! As promised here’s more art!
This is the Concept Art for Aurelius and his Storm Chaser. Enjoy!

Thanks to you, it’s a BOOK!
I woke up this morning to the fantastic news that Pilot X smashed through the 750 preorder goal we needed to get fully published by Inkshares. That means this is a real book now with a real editing process about to start and real book marketing et cetera.
I know I’ve said this a lot but I cannot thank you enough.
Pilot X thanks you too. He really has come a long way since we mistakenly thought he was a crashed airline pilot in the 1990s. Wow is he more than that. He’s not even human. And I can’t wait for all of you to get to know him and his world better. There’s a planet of monks who discover the Dimensional War, a small hut with three Pilot Xs working in it, and of course the Pineapple Planet.
But all of that will come soon enough. For now you’ve made my year!!
Y’all rock.

Things are coming along smoothly. I’ve got about 95% of the manuscript completed and I’ve decided to add a few more chapters to the project page :) I hope you enjoy Chapters 1-4, let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions, constructive criticism is always welcome!
