First of all, I would like to mention I am making progress with the work so that when we do go to pre-order, no one will have to wait that long to receive their copy, which is neat.
Second of all, I would like to thank all the new followers to The Sleeping Man! Unless one is already published, this type of work can get really hard, so to have support makes me keep pushing because I want to do a good job.
Third of all, I bet most of you are wondering what to get me for my birthday, which is... right now. Thirty-one years ago at the moment of writing this I emerged from the woods fully grown. Oh, what's that? You didn't get me anything? Well, if you are reading this, you already did and it's worth more than I can say. Since I'm greedy though, all I want this year from all of the readers of The Sleeping Man is to find me just one more reader. Then we'll be near the 250 mark and then we'll reopen pre-orders.
Sweet Dreams,
Stephen
Well, here we are, less than a month left in the campaign, with still a ways to go. I’m so grateful to all of you that have pre-ordered Shadow Incandescent so far. And, I know, that with your help we can push this book past the 250 pre-orders that we need.
Sharing a link to the book on social media is always appreciated. You all know so many people that I have never met and putting Shadow in front of as many eyes as possible will definitely help. However, I’m sure that all of you know at least a few people who love to read and would enjoy Shadow, especially when it costs less than a few coffees (since that seems to be how we measure value in our culture lately). If you all sent a short, personal email/message to your friends that enjoy reading then I know we can get this thing done!
I’ve added chapters 6 through 12 to the already posted chapters on the main page. According to Inkshares, that’s over three hours of reading available to you now! It also takes us to the middle of the novel where a major shift takes place.
Thank you so much for your support. I’m very much looking forward to sharing all of Shadow with you and your reading friends.

Greetings!
On Wednesday, I did a 30 minute interview with Mary Jane Popp on KAHI in Sacramento, California. You can listen to it by clicking here:

Next week, I scored a booking at WLW-AM 700 (50,000 watts) - with Bill Cunningham - Cincinnati, OH
This station has one of the strongest radio signals in the United States and my interviewer is the recipient of the 2001 and 2009 Marconi Award as America's Big Market Radio Personality of the Year.
I'm still looking for more supporters to step up, so if you are ready to review Journey, here are the important links -

All, thank you for the support. Things have been progressing well...I have placed 10 chapters here at inkshares for your consideration and feedback.
Dear readers,
Something very big is coming for supporters of Blood Dawn! In particular, everyone who became a Dragon or a God-King -- all 35 of you! -- I'm planning something fun for the last push to get 399 pre-orders before April 11th.
Stay tuned. If you're dying of curiosity, feel free to email me and I'll give you a hint:
Dear readers. My Screenwriting tips will be incoming next week, very excited about sharing them with you.
As we enter the last month of ordering, my generous supporter Felicia Day has agreed to include a signed headshot of herself with each hardback "Reader"-level order of my book.
She will only be doing the signing UP TO 750 orders, so if you would like to receive this bonus, then it's probably best to order now.
Excited to enter the last stretch and reach our goal of full publishing. Thank you for your support.
Regards,
Patrick
