Sometimes you see an injustice and decide to help. Along the way you discover that the ones you think you’re helping, the hopeless and lost ones, are giving you your life. This is about women, some with AIDS, transforming one another.
Hi everyone!
I reached (and surpassed) 90 unique readers yesterday, so I made a raffle video late last night. That being said, any pre-orders today weren’t included in the drawing, but will be in the next.
Also, like I’ve said before, when I hit 100 readers, I will be raffling a $50 Amazon gift card in addition to the traditional prizes.
So, here it is. Check it out if you’ve won:
I will contact the winner later via e-mail.
I’ve been straddling the line between campaigning and writing lately, just to let you know where I’m at. If you know anyone who might be interested in my novel, please send them in my direction.
As always, thanks for everyone’s support!
Good day everyone!
Mondays are hard. There aren’t enough hours in a weekend to both accomplish everything we want to and get any proper relaxation in.
I’ve been keeping myself busy everyday, making sure that I have new content for you all. By tomorrow you’ll be receiving another sample chapter for The Traveller’s Cup. I think I know which piece I want to show you, but I’m going to take another evening to consider it carefully and make sure that it’s well-edited.
As for updates on the campaign, we’re still managing to stay afloat in the top ten, but it’s the top three that we need. And for that we’ve got to double our pre-orders fast.
Some of you may have followed the book assuming that counts toward pre-orders. Unfortunately, while your support still counts to me, only deliberate pre-orders count for the publishing deal and contest. If you aren’t sure, head back to the book’s page and check out the green button under the book thumbnail that says "Pre-Order."
And as always, if you have placed an order, please continue sharing with your friends and communities so we can make sure this bit of space fantasy comes to life.
Note that if the project is not funded for whatever reason, you will receive your pre-order money back. Inkshares and Nerdist just want to see that people are serious about buying before they take on the publishing part.
Thanks again for your support in this great battle!
Cordially from outer-space,

Hey Everybody,
It has been a week since I launched the project and currently we are 4% funded. We still have a long way to go, but with over 80 days left, I’m confident we may reach 250 pre-orders.
If you have backed the project, I thank you. If you haven’t, please consider doing so.
I have started a Facebook page for the project as well. Here, I will be sharing supplemental material (photos taken by the characters, their journal entries and poetry, etc). Please like the page and share it on social media. Every little bit of promotion helps out.

Finally, I have just posted an excerpt for the second chapter. Check it out and feel free to provide feedback. This is your project as much as it is mine.

I am honored to announce that Deus Hex Machina was chosen as the February book for the Break the Bechdel syndicate. I am humbled that a group of esteemed Inkshares readers identified with Isidore RAM and her story. As a small thank you, I will post the complete chapter two today, which introduces our inciting incident as well as Daxas Piers. Mechs ahoy friends!
This means that we blew past our 150 order raffle and are only 1 order away from the 160 raffle! Amazing!!! I will do the raffle pull later on today, since I really need to get that last scene written before I can post the chapter. It’s a biggie.
Dear friends,
I’m glad and grateful to have you all here, and so: a present. "The Adventure of the Oxford Comma" is a short mystery, complete, starring our friend Eric Peterkin; published on Wattpad and free for your reading pleasure. I hope everyone enjoys it as a prelude to the full-length feature that is "Murder at the Veterans’ Club".
Cheers!
