C’mon everybody! I know you like funny scary things! Ghostbusters was an international hit! Deep down, everybody is still a Buffy fan! 

Hello cottagers! I dunno if that works, but I gave it a shot. 

OK, it’s Friday!!!

98 pre-orders in 3 weeks! Not bad, not bad at all. I want to thank each and every one of you for helping to make this happen. Still a long way to go to Quill and an even longer way to full publication, but this is great! 

Only two spots remain to win the last of the mugs. Winners will be e-mailed and announced tomorrow for the previous mugs that were won (and if we reach 100 the winner of the final mug will also be announced).

Last week I was lucky enough to be featured in a photography blog, you can check it out here! He made me look like an adult, and that made my wife happy!

With only 8 days left to pre-order be sure to check out Tabi Card’s Scribbles: A Collection of Words. Don’t miss out on it! Tabi is also to thank for the new cover design of Cape’s Side.

With 9 days left don’t miss out on Michael Sebby’s The Inhabitants: An Unremembered Life. It’s a cool science fiction story that blends the dreamworld with reality.

With 12 days left check out Louisiana Blood: A Chandler Travis and Duke Lanoix mystery by Mike Donald. You won’t be disappointed. 

Also, if you’re new to Inkshares I recommend just clicking the browse icon. There are so many wonderful books on here, you can’t lose!

And as always if you are following Cape’s Side Bay and on the fence about whether or not to order I feel I should inform you that the fence is uncomfortable and we have plenty of comfy seats by the bay. :) Please pre-order and share and let’s get this book published. In the words of It’s All Fun and Games author Dave Barrett “‘cause why not?”

Take care and enjoy your day!

Hey Everybody, I’m very happy to report that we have surpassed the 250 pre-orders necessary to enter the Quill collection.  This means that Teas of the Assassin will be published.  I am so very grateful and thankful for all the support you have given me.  Your faith in this book has propelled it to be published and soon it will be in your hands to read. I sincerely thank you for your generous investment in this project. You have helped me develop as an author.

Next steps: The campaign continues for another month, ending May 14th.  At that time the book will go into production and when the process is complete all orders will be filled. As soon as I have a solid date of publication I will let you know.  In the meantime I will use these updates to keep you informed about the progress that is being made in the production of the books.  

I’m really excited about what comes next even though I’m just learning as I go along. The opportunity  to publish this novel is all thanks to you and I want everyone to know how much I appreciate the support you have shared with me for Tears of the Assassin. Thank you.

Happy Friday!

Hope you’re all doing well and fine and all that. Been a busy week and looking forward to a busier weekend! Tomorrow is the "friends and family" screening party for the independent film I wrote and directed: Out There. It’s about an introvert who applies to live on Mars. It was a fun time shooting it and I’m looking forward to watching it tomorrow night!

Back to Cape’s Side Bay, we’ve passed 70 pre-orders and that is AWESOME! 

Tomorrow at the screening we will be giving some friends and family mugs. Do you know what goes well with a good book? A mug of coffee, or tea, or whatever you feel you want to put in it. I want to give some away to you all! 

But I can’t, there are too many of you. So... All previous orders will be in a raffle for an OUT THERE mug, then we will do a raffle after the next 10 pre-orders, then a raffle after the next 15. 

Please keep sharing and spreading the word of Cape’s Side Bay! Things are going very well and I’m getting genuinely excited... which is rare for me. I promise. 

And last but definitely not least, as of this writing J.F Dubeau’s A GOD IN THE SHED is just over 100 pre-orders from FULL PUBLICATION! Any help would be great, it’s a terrific read. I ordered mine! It’s great horror/fantasy.  You will not be disappointed. 

Enjoy your weekend!

James
