I honestly didn’t think I would have a reader update so quickly, but here I am. In 24 hours, I’ve had 26 preorders and while it is upsetting I didn’t hit 250 immediately... THANK YOU!
I attempted to record a new video for TSM homepage on Inkshares, and, well, you should just see what I had to work with. In the video I attempt to tell people that I have already finished the book and am currently working on the second draft right now. That means when we hit the funding goal, the book will follow shortly after.
I’m planning to get this done before November 2016 because I will be stationed to a ship out of San Diego and deployed who-knows-where doing who-knows-what (I’m an IT Technician, so it will be a lot of, "Have you tried turning it off and back on again in a classified way?").
So many people have already recommended and shared on Twitter, Facebook, and Inkshares, it has made my day. I need everyone’s help getting the book out to the people I don’t know. For my part, I will continue to comb Inkshares, leave reviews, pre-order when I can, and keep working, but if the first 24 hours are any indication, this is going to be no problem.
Sweet Dreams,
Stephen Carignan
P.S. If you saw the video, Emma says hi.
I have met some wonderful people here on Inkshares. In fact, I find the entire community to be mutually supportive. What a wonderful spirit!
There is one individual who has gone over and beyond in reaching out to me with support. I’m certain he has done the same for many other Inkshares authors. His clever book, Cape’s Side Bay, is very near Quill. Let’s get James Rasile’s book to Quill publication... and beyond. Please help with a pre-order! :-)

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?)!
The Geek and Sundry Hard Science Contest is over and I want to send HIGH FIVES and "YEAH MAN!s" to winners Tal Klein for The Punch Escrow, Brian Guthrie for After Man, and Erin S. Evan for The Pirates of Montana. Each of you offered beautiful, polished work. You set a fine example and a high bar for the rest of us. A big congratulations from the bottom of my heart!
I also want to thank Jeremy Thomas and the Inkshares team for organizing these contests. I see them as a win-win-win all the way around! We are truly fortunate to share this space with the likes of Chris Hardwick’s Nerdist and Felicia Day’s Geek and Sundry. These awesome people help open this platform to the movers and shakers of popular culture. I’m impressed!
Peace to all!
Ferd. :-)
