Hey everyone,

First of all, hello to everyone who has followed BLUE WATER and never received an update from me. I thought that it would do me well to not spam people with messages when there’s nothing really new to report. However, it has been brought to my attention that it also can seem like I’ve dropped off the planet if I don’t at least poke my head out occasionally to say hi.

So hi everyone!

On the book front, there regrettably isn’t much to report. The book has been sent in, and it’s impatiently waiting in line. We hit funding almost a year ago. The manuscript was submitted on April 28. That’s four months ago today. So Inkshares has it, but they have limited resources and about 40 some other books they’re also putting out. We just have to wait our turn.

So in the mean time, I thought I’d let you know what else we have going on here.

As some of you know, I am an author, but a filmmaker first. I studied at the New York Film Academy’s satellite campus in Los Angeles. Currently, I’m working on visual effects for a film called "Vengeance" shot in the UK. If you want to check that out, go here: http://www.lightfilms.co.uk/

While the film work is foremost typically, I do find myself coming up with new stories. Some of you may not know that Blue Water was originally a web series script, then a miniseries script, then a novel. I loved writing it, and I am feeling the itch to write something new. A new script, a new novel, a sequel to Blue Water... I’ve got some ideas. And once Inkshares gives me a release date, and we go from crowdfunding promotion to countdown to books in hands promotion, I’m going to let some of those ideas free.

I thank you all for your patience, and please let me know if you feel I am in touch too often or too infrequently. I don’t want you guys to be sick of me already once the next round of promo starts. You’ll likely be sick of me after.

Thank you all again for your patience.
