Hey there wonderful people
I have an announcement to make. I've decided to follow in the footsteps of other fellow Inkshares authers and start a series of preorder raffles!!
For every 50 preorders sold I will raffle off a prize of a lovely fleece blanket with my cool beans cover art on it. I will post a picture of the prize as soon as I can.
Well well look at that. There are already 50 copies sold. That means I have the first of hopefully many raffles to do. I will post the lucky winner soon.
Thank you all for your continuing support and don't forget to preorder for your chance to win a lovely price.

So earlier today I was asked by Cara Weston (if you haven't checked out her book, you should...--->;;;;;;;;;;;;; She Is The End ) if I had some idea of who would play the characters in Ghosts of War if it was turned into a movie or TV show. The answer is yes...yes I do.
So here we are, the main characters of Ghosts of War (and a few supporting ones) if it were to become a watchable thing (like...maybe a 10 episode Netflix series...yeah...that sounds nice.)
A few fun facts:
Until next time...
(How embarrassing. Sorry for the double-update. The link actually WORKS in this one.)
For the past several nights, I've been putting together my game plan. It's a sick form of procrastination from which my writer friends know I suffer: Instead of just sitting down and writing the actual story, I'll write pages and pages of outlines, timelines, character backstories, and all kinds of 'preparative' work. (Wow, that's actually a word.)
You see, so much of "The Animal in Man" has changed since I first started writing it. ...before I can pick up where I left off, I thought it would be a good idea to get my notes straight.
But to hell with that.
For the past several nights, I've skipped the damn preparative work and just re-wrote chapter one. I only meant to tweak a sentence here or there, but I ended up tossing out and rebuilding probably 90% of the words from the ground up. No lie. The shape of the chapter is the same, you'll see, but everything changed.
And I think it's better. My god do I think it's better! I worked really hard on this first chapter. It would be an honor if you would spend a little time reading it. (Inkshares says 33 minutes...?) Please enjoy.

And I swear my next update will be further along in time... next time. But just so you know, I will be working tirelessly every night, armed with a Jameson and Ginger Ale in one hand, a keyboard in the other. (...That makes little sense. Must be the Jameson.) Cheers!
