Greetings wonderful people,
First of all I’d like to say how grateful I am for all your continuing support in getting this project this far. We are at 164 orders with 45 days to go. We are well over half way there with only 86 orders to go to make Quill. WE CAN DO IT!!
That being said I have finally received some much needed time off from work and have spent that time hard at work (ironic). I just posted a newly revised chapter 4 and it has gotten some massive changes I can tell you that. So please check it out and let me know what you think.
I will continue to work hard to give you a wonderful finished adventure to curl up with. If you haven’t ordered Beyond the Code yet please help this caffeine induced dream become a caffeine induced reality. Another 36 orders and we will have another 50 Point Raffle for a soft blanket with Beyond the Code’s cover art embroidered on it.
Again thank you all for your continued support and please if you like my hard work help support it and bring Beyond the Code to QUILL!!!

Riding in the backseat of a stretch limo, Samba couldn’t figure Noah’s angle. He treated her like a long-lost relative. At the same time, his men kept a watchful eye on her.
Sitting opposite from her, Tiny had managed to cram his massive frame into the car. He sat slightly hunched over in an uncomfortable position, though he showed no signs of discomfort. The perpetual smile on his face never waned.
Noah squeezed in next to him, looking out the window. He turned to look at her, ca. . .
Hello Friends
Quick update to let you know that I made a decision.

This is the direction I selected for the book’s cover. Thank you all for your input it truly helped me select the right cover and give feedback to the designer.
And the work continues. We are onto copyedits, and the second round of cover proposals based on my feedback will be sent to me in the coming weeks (I will share that with you as well.)
The folks at Inkshares, Girl Friday Productions and I, are working hard to make sure you get a great book this coming fall.
In the mean time go to Inkshares and check out the work of other authors. There are great books in there; some of them available for purchase and some of them in the process of funding.
Don’t forget that if you want to support LGBTQ aspiring authors you can join my Write Out Loud syndicate. For $10 or $20 a month you will get a great book and will support the community and its allies.
Have a fantastic week.
The writing on Chapter 4 has begun! I’ll give you a hint as to what’s happening now in the book: 54 68 65 20 75 6e 61 77 61 6b 65 6e 65 64 20 70 61 72 74 20 6f 66 20 74 68 65 20 73 6f 75 6c
Anyway, I can’t wait to get this chapter finished and on its way to you. Only thing is, this will be the first exclusive chapter, so I need your help if you want to read it. I’m going to be sending this to all the people who have already preordered the book, but in order to do so I need you to sign up to my email list so I can put you on the VIP list to receive it.
