Happy 2017!

I know it has been a long long time since any of you have heard anything from me. 2016 and Cape’s Side Bay got interesting.

At one point I thought we had hit full publishing, then it turned out we hadn’t, and the book was in limbo. I spoke with Inkshares and they were great, but I still wasn’t sure about the future of the book. Then, randomly, in November I received an email informing me that Cape’s Side Bay would be a participant in THE LIST contest. The final Inkshares contest of 2016. It was a contest were the participants were selected by Inkshares staff and peers. It meant a lot to me to see Cape’s Side Bay get a nomination. I, however, was exhausted and still not sure if participating in the list was something I had the energy to do. 
Ultimiately I decided it was worth a shot, and someone we were able to come out on top!

Cape’s Side Bay is getting published! It took a little longer than anticipated, but we did it. I could not have done it without all of you.

Thanks especially to my wife Erin for putting up with me and obsessing over the orders! And to my family and friends! It was quite an experience, one that has only just started.

A special congratulations to the other two books, Murder at the Veterans Club by Christopher Huang. When I first started thinking about my campaign I spoke to Christopher several times and he was a great help. I am extremely pleased to see his book reach full publishing!

Sorcery for Beginners by Matt Harry. He came up strong towards the end of the campaign and manage to bump up in the list and finish top 3!

I look forward to reading these books, and I look forward to all of you reading Cape’s Side Bay.

Happy 2017!

Happy New Year, Knightmares!

I wanted to send out a quick message before the New Year to update you on what’s going on. So here’s the update: Inkshares has quite a bit of backlog going on right now with books waiting to be published. This log-jam, I am hoping, will get some clarity sometime within the first few weeks of the year. 

That’s really the entirety of it. I am waiting my turn while I work on other projects, both artistic and written.  If you have a chance, check out Vexed or Masked, both new projects listed here on Inkshares.

In the meantime, I wanted to wish all of you a very happy close to 2016, and a very prosperous and exciting 2017! 

Thanks again for all your support! And remember, the book is still on sale, so if you haven’t yet, grab a copy!

Good news to all those "Squids In" fans out there, the project may be given a new lease of life. More details to follow soon :D
