It has been a while. There are a lot of new followers. Welcome ya’ll, make sure you grab some digital cornbread and pour your self a nice glass of virtual Sweet Tea, just like your robo-granny used to make.  

So, I have been working on so many things for this book. Including but not limited to: designing character sketches, working on a prologue, cataloging and annotating the main draft before sending it off, enlisted beta readers, coming up with a new cover (so far?), at least one more legible and tone specific. And most important, I bought a new hat to celebrate my accomplished goal of reaching Quill and also hitting my sought after pre-order goal of 300. It is called the Good Boy from Goorin Bros. 

A real beauty. As Ned Flanders once said, "Sometimes, you just gotta spoil yourself." Rightly so. There you go, a little update of what has been happening. 

And here is something for all of you to do--tell your friends about this chaotic feverish tale, or if you have not yet, order one for yourself. If you have more time after that, send out a review to be added to my page, let me know what you think, what you feel. Plus, do not forget to Like! and share the official Website Facebook page.

My undying thank-yous to all who have helped, supported, nurtured, and damned this book/put it down/ignore it, for it is the latter that gave me the fire to prove them wrong. 

Checkmate and Rummy my dear Gladiators. 

Greetings wonderful people, 

I have been interviewed by Christine Brennecke, a fellow Inkshares author, for her blog Myths, Mists & Musing. I feel like I’m going places. We discuss Beyond the Code, my writing process, and general other Kelsey stuff. Check it out. It was a real new experience for me.

Also we are past the half way point in this campaign and we’re doing pretty good but we can do better. If you want to see Beyond the Code as a reality pre-order a copy now. Times a ticking. 

In closing thank you all of those who have backed my work so far, please pre-order if you haven’t, and check out Christine Brennecke’s blog. 

Goodnight everyone

Lies and Deception is now officially part of the Quill collection

Thank you soo much dear readers, followers, backers  without you this would have not been possible.

more update to come soon :)

I know everyone is tired of hearing me say thank you, but honestly there’s no way to say it enough. Right now we’re at 146 readers of The Sleeping Man, and every single time that number goes up it makes me work all the harder reviewing books and supporting the Inkshares community. My goal remains the same, 250 readers of The Sleeping Man. As you may or may not know, once the number 250 is reached I will open the pre-orders so that when every reader orders one book it will be published.

Thank you to those who have recommended, shared on Twitter/Facebook, and sent the link to friends and family. It means the world to me.

Sweet Dreams,

Stephen Carignan
