And a grand hello to all my wonderful followers. We have news. Get comfortable cause this is going to be a long one. 

First of all let’s have the super awesome news. WE’VE DONE IT!! WE’VE MADE QUILL!! THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN!! It’s hard to really express how I’m feeling right now. This is the first full length book I’ve dedicated myself to writing and to see it go so far is nothing less than amazing. But it didn’t make it there on it’s own. It’s because of all of you that my dream is going to become a reality. There are a hand full of amazing people that I want to give a shout out to. They are truly awesome.

These fantastic people really made the difference in the last stretch and I can’t thank them enough. You’re all a treasure. I really mean it. 

On to other things. Now that we have hit 250 that means it’s time for another 50 Point RAFFLE!!!! And the winner is...

  Mike Donald!!! You’re the winner to the 50 Point Raffle Quill Edition!! I don’t know what makes this one more special but I’ll think of something. I’ll be contacting you to get your info so I can send your super soft Beyond the Code blanket. 

Thank you all for everything. This whole experience had taught me so much, made me grow as a person, and has brought me alot of great friends. 

QUILL!!!!!!

Greetings Jackolytes,

We have clambered over the 300 barrier and continue to stomp forward into the unknown. I’d still love as many people as possible to get on board and come along for the ride. Sync City is a story best shared and talked about with others – especially over a beer or two. If you have already pre-ordered Sync City, thanks so much. See if you can think of someone else who would like it and send the link onto them. If you haven’t pre-ordered, the following link Sync City will get you to my shiny new homepage and give you the chance to join the fun.

Have a good one!

Cheers,

Peter

I’m not Beyoncé, but I’m here with a surprise video drop!

One of my friends had to create a documentary for a school project, and asked if I would be willing to discuss Welcome to Deadland. I cover my inspiration for the book, my experience working with Inkshares and Nerdist, where we’re at right now in the process, and how I reached potential readers during my campaign! 

Speaking of where we are in the process, we’ve reviewed the first design of the full dust jacket and I’ve submitted my final notes on the proofreader’s review! The first galley has arrived at Inkshares HQ, and soon the final product will be sent off to the printer!

I’ve also updated the prologue and chapter one on Welcome to Deadland’s Inkshares page. I replaced my initial drafts of the chapters with the final edited pages.

Thank you all for your support!

Greetings you wonderful people, 

HOLY PRE-ORDERS BATMAN!! Look at them all roll in. Thank you all soooooo very much for really getting behind Beyond the Code and helping push it to Quill. I am finding it difficult to truly express how much all your support really means to me. Just WOW!!

But we’re not done yet. We are only a tiny 14 orders away from Quill. It’s literally just around the corner. If you love this book and really want to see it in print pre-order today. Tell your friends, tell your family, tell your enemies, TELL EVERYONE!! A signed first edition book is a great gift or maybe you have some extra credits around and you want some good karma. Any reason is a good one at this point.

Again thank you soo much for all the support in making my dream of Beyond the Code in print. We can do this!
