Good afternoon Dreamers,

It is time for a non-update update. Thanks to the shares, recommendations, reviews, blog posts, interviews, syndicate pick, and pre-orders, The Sleeping Man has sold over 162 copies! 163 to be specific. This means we’re still above the projection to reach the goal of 750, and we’re definitely going to hit Quill. I’m constantly giving cards to my daughter to give to strangers (I ain’t above it and who is going to refuse her?), matching with people on Tinder and demanding they pre-order, and saying, "Bloody Mary" fives times into every mirror with my tablet in hand so she can pre-order.

It’s working, because we are crushing it. So many people are buying more than one copy as well and I cannot thank you enough for that because the numbers are going crazy. If you haven’t left a review, I would appreciate one. If you haven’t recommended The Sleeping Man, I would appreciate that as well. Lastly, if you haven’t pre-ordered, please pre-order. If you have pre-ordered, please pre-order again, here’s a list of useful things you can do with extra copies:

1. Hold a copy in each hand and read one with each eye to see which one is faster.

2. Create a book fort to protect your dreams.

3. Level a table.

4. Give one to someone you like.

5. Give one to someone you don’t like.

6. Check to see that each printed copy is the exact same and there are no discrepancies between copies.

7. Launch several into varying directions in space to teach aliens the English language.

...And many more!

Thanks again,

Stephen

Hello Friends

My childhood is filled with sweet memories of a big and loving family, but also terrifying episodes of bullying. I grew up knowing I was different, and other children noticed it and tortured me because of it.

While I started re-imagining myself, I also met the most amazing man, and I convinced him to marry me.

Hey everyone, I have exciting news!

Firstly, an update for Storm of Fury. The rewrite process is slowly moving forward. I’ve ran into several issues, but as this is my first attempt at a second draft/deep revisions, the majority of them stem from lack of experience. However, I’m learning as I go, and while I’m not confident that Storm of Fury will be published by the end of the year, I can promise you that it won’t be long after.

Now, onto the exciting news; I have a new book project on Inkshares!

Entitled the Ballad of Zion Stone, this is an adventure novel set in 1850’s Colorado. My father is the co-creator of this book, and the main theme was his idea. We’re working together on the first draft, and let me tell you, it is exciting! 

The book tells the story of Sheriff Zion Stone and his encounter with the dreaded Desert Pirates. But, there’s something about Zion Stone that the pirates may not realize until it is far too late.

I won’t tell you what the twist is, check it out here! (Read to the end of the prologue to discover Zion Stone’s secret!)

At this point in time, we are not selling pre-orders. But please, if you like what you’re seeing, follow the page and recommend the book. And if you’re feeling especially generous, comment on prologue or right a review! Start spreading the word so that when we begin the campaign, we can really push the Ballad of Zion Stone towards the full Inkshares publising!

Stay tuned for more information!

Hello All, 

Readers and followers of The Seventh Age! I bring you:

                                                    ART!

Check out how the cover is coming along. This is a higher resolution image than I’ve usually been sharing. The final artwork for this and the back cover should be done before the end of June. 

After the cover, the first character sketch has come in from my prior request looking for art commissions. The talented artist Lizzy Perez has read the Seventh Age and deemed the character Akira her favorite one. She nailed it! Stay tuned for future updates as Lizzy also has some more artwork and scenes coming in as well. 

The final part of this quick update is: I’m 38 readers / copies away from clearing the major benchmark of 1000. If you know anyone who is interested in urban fantasy, conspiracy, and street-tacos, send them over. I’ll be holding a series of 7 raffles after I hit 1000 for all readers on my dashboard. From reader #1 all the way to the final order. Everyone will be eligible. So if you want to be in: you’ve got 38 spots left. 

Prizes will range from artwork, tarot-decks, occult books, and some other Seventh-Age themed works. More info on that stuff as we get closer to 1k!

38 more! We can do this.
