Epic Update Time... 

It's my birthday today, and guess what the big highlight has been?

That's right! After overwhelming feedback from readers this weekend -- all of it near unanimous in support of switching to the new funding model and qualifying for the Quill imprint -- I decided LET'S DO THIS!

As of now, Blood Dawn has reached its funding goal! Blood Dawn will at the very least be published under the Quill imprint (click here to read more about what that entails).

However, we still have until April 11th to push hard and get Blood Dawn to 750 pre-orders. If we can do that, then Blood Dawn will be published as a full Inkshares production, with all the added perks.

Either way, Blood Dawn will be a print book and an ebook, which means it will get out there for readers to enjoy! All of you who have supported this book and the many who have emailed me expressing your excitement for Blood Dawn will soon be able to read it -- hold it in your hands, live Rena's story the way I've been living it for the last 14 months.

So, if you haven't pre-ordered this book, or if you've been waiting until it picks up a bit of momentum, now you can jump on board knowing your pre-order is going toward helping Blood Dawn reach 750 pre-orders so that it will get full Inkshares support including more in-depth editorial, design and distribution services. Most importantly, you can order knowing this is a book you will get to read no matter what.

Visit Blood Dawn's new page and order here: https://www.inkshares.com/projects/blood-dawn

You'll notice if you visit the Blood Dawn page that there are now four options:

• Acolyte (1 ebook = $10)
• Sun Priest (1 print book = $20 + $15 shipping for non-US residents)
• God-King (3 print books = $60 + $15 shipping for non-US residents)
• Dragon (7 print books = $140 + $15 shipping for non-US residents)

Here's to Blood Dawn, and THANK YOU for your generous support. Without you, none of this would be possible. You've helped me live my dream, and I promise, this adventure is just getting started.

(I don't feel like this needs any context at this point. Just... space wolf angel.)

Hello Friends

Despite the rumors on the street, I was not abducted by an intergalactic dynasty who thought I was the genetic recurrence of their king. Which also means Channing Tatum didn’t rescue me (bummer!) so I could write this update.

 The long silence is for a good reason. I’ve been furiously writing and editing The Catcher’s Trap, and I'm pleased to say I am almost ready to say “now is up to the editors!” (imagine me releasing pages in the air, so they fly across the country to the desks of the folks at Inkshares)

My personal deadline is to deliver the manuscript and all the other paperwork by the end of December so we can hopefully have a book by August; we’ll see. It will all depend on the quality of the manuscript I submit; that is why I’m working hard so is not a piece of garbage.

Of course, not all is work. This weekend I rewarded myself for all of this year’s accomplishment by spending the weekend with my fellow Whovians at the Long Island Doctor Who Convention. I had a blast! And if you live on the East Coast and are a fan of the Doctor, you should check it out next year.

Here is me after taking the TARDIS for a spin: 

That’s it! I just wanted you to know I'm still here. Remember the book is available for pre-order so if you haven’t purchased your copy yet, go ahead and do it, you won’t regret it.

Have a fantastic week!

Monday workday is winding down -- almost time to get off of my employer's dime and back onto my own, hopefully preparing another chapter for your enjoyment or some promotional material to add to your ranks! Good times!
Also, a message as ever to my fellow Inkshares crowdfunders: remember that I will happily and immediately reciprocate any preorders - if you pledge for FEYSIDE, I will in turn pledge for your work! Let's help each other meet our target goals!

Hey everybody,

You may or may not have noticed I got an extension on my campaign deadline-huzzah! I now have until January 10th to reach my pre-order goal which, fingers crossed, should hopefully give me enough time to get to 750. Hopefully the holiday season will also put people in a giving mood :)

Anyways thank you all for your continued support and I hope to post another chapter later this week. And now on to Monday morning and another glorious work week!

Acoyltes, 

I apologize for the multitude of updates recently, but this is an exciting time! I am indebted to John a Robin, the author of the really, really awesome book called Blood Dawn, because he has truly pulled out all the stops to advertise and support Storm of Fury.

This week, we breached 100 copies sold! Only a mere 143 to go to get into Quill publishing! (I say mere, but it's still going to be a hefty fight.)

I can't do this without the support of patrons like you, so please help Storm of Fury reach the bookshelves. Try and get just one person to get my book, -just one!- and we'll get well over 200!

Thanks for your support so far; we're going to make it!

Zealot Andrew

(P.S. Stay tuned for Chapter Four!)
