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

                                                                         The end is near My campaign ends today. If you want a signed copy of the book this is the last day to order it.

The next update will be the official Quill update.

Oh and yeah if all the followers on this book order today we will break the 300 copies before entering the Quill Collection.

Have a great evening my friends.

So something pretty cool happened last night ~ "The Children of the Forest" hit its funding goal to qualify for Inkshare’s Quill! I’ve been completely blown away by the last-minute rally of fans, and I’m floored that in less than 7 days we managed to move over 50 copies of the book! 

Looking ahead, I’m still somewhat processing the fact that the book will be made. It’s been a long road to reach this point and I couldn’t have come this far without everyone in the Inkshares community who put their time, money, and opinions to use in helping me craft what has become "The Children of the Forest." 

I just wanted to offer a quick look at what to expect in the next few weeks, regarding the schedule for the novel.

1. As mentioned in another update, I’ll be releasing a companion booklet (Free) to all backers. Men’kai will only receive this as a digital copy, while Alethian+Wolf-Riders will be given soft-cover books.
2. I’ll be updating the Inkshares page during production on the rest of the novel. I hope to have at least 2-3 more sample chapters made available, along with a refined introduction, video, and more. 
3. I also have a short-story in the works that will be made available to all backers within the next few weeks. 

Most likely there will be more, but those are the major beats for now. Again, a huge thanks to everyone who backed my novel and made it a reality! I can’t wait to have the finished version in your hands  ~
