Michael Sebby liked an update for Disintegration

Three days left.

I recognize that it’s unlikely that the deluge of pre-orders for which I’ve been hoping will come in before the wire, and carry me to the glory of fully-fundedness. Nothing is impossible while the clock is still ticking, of course, but Mr. Spock would acknowledge that such a boon is highly improbable.

There are 300-plus of you that will receive this update. I need 344 more pre-orders to make 750. If you know one or two people (preferably two :) ) who want to be heroes, please spur them to check out my book before Saturday.

To those of you who helped me get to this stage: thank you so much. I may not get the full suite of services that Inkshares has to offer, but you will get your physical copy of Disintegration as I’ve written it. It’ll be the Director’s Cut, basically ... which is kind of cool. That was how I read Heinlein’s "Stranger in a Strange Land" and I can’t imagine reading the abridged version.

It’s almost as if my unfettered vision wins because my campaign hasn’t gone the distance. Weird, that. 

Thanks for making it a reality.

      The novel follows a young adult character thrust into a perplexing world, overwhelmed by the cost of reality.

      Hello all! 

      Another quick update. We passed 200 orders! Thank you all so very much! This is incredible, I’m still in disbelief. Long long way to go, but very happy at where we sit right now. You’re seriously all the best!

      The Geek & Sundry contest is over. Congratulations to Tal M. Klein, Brian Guthrie, and Erin S. Evan! You can still check out and order their books, and be sure to check out the other books in the contest. There are some really great gems in there that can still use your support!

      That’s all for me. Please, as always, share, recommend, review, pre-order, talk about, and let’s get Cape’s Side Bay to Quill (and possibly beyond?)!

      James

        Michael Sebby liked an update for The Animal in Man
        I’d like you to meet Shere Khan… Have you met him before? Does his name sound familiar? Do you see simply a tiger here? I see a lord of the jungle. For me, Shere Khan was the real star of The Jungle Book.

        I went and saw the film this past Saturday and was absolutely blown away by its quality. It’s not like I was a lifelong fan of the original animated version. If you’d asked me if I liked The Jungle Book a week ago, I’d say, “mehhh…” But now…? Holy hell, NOW?!? 

        It wasn’t the story or the characters that really resonated with me. (Though that’s not to say they weren’t contributors to the overall experience; they were!) It was the theme, specifically the law of the jungle. The animal’s nature. And by contrast the nature of man. This is something I think about a lot (in case I’ve not made it obvious yet!). 

        And the villain. Shere Khan. Take note, storytellers… The best-written villains are always the ones who commit the worst atrocities for the sake of the best intentions. In The Jungle Book, Shere Khan knows that mankind’s every footstep leaves only a trail of destruction and evil. In order to keep the jungle and all its inhabitants safe - to preserve life - he must call for man’s death. And Shere Khan makes no distinction between man and man-cub. A true leader’s convictions must be truly unshakable. Right? Well, it’s this flaw that leads the villain to his downfall. It always is. 

        We never get tired of these stories do we? I know I don’t! I promise that’s the kind of story “The Animal in Man” aims to tell. I assure you my villain has only the best intentions in mind. I swear you’ll be reading it soon. (#amwriting) But in the meantime, do yourself a favor and go see The Jungle Book before it leaves theaters. It is absolutely delightful. (Also, Christopher Walken as King Louie = priceless.)
