They stole Relai’s crown and used it to kill Milo’s family. She wakes up. He’s there to kill her.
My campaign ENDS TODAY!!!
If you want a copy signed by me, this is the last day to pre-order it.
ALSO, I decided that anyone who pre-orders today will become a character in the book. You! In the book! So, order now!
I'm excited and scared, guys. I need to mold this manuscript into the most beautiful thing I've ever created (besides my children), and then we'll get the book into your hands a quickly and smoothly as possible.
And if you're excited about She Is the End, you can now go follow the draft for the sequel...
Yay!!!
Mugs Raffle!! Want to see who won the cool Osoporto mugs? Click the video! But I will be contacting this person via email as well so I can get an address for shipping purposes. Thanks all for participating. There's still a Beagle Freedom Swag raffle so why not pre-order to get in on that, or order another copy if you already have. Nothing wrong with that!!

The creep to 300 continues!
Just this past weekend, Alicia Smock, a very talented writer for The Examiner, interviewed me about my book. About the stresses of its Inkshares campaign, about some of the secrets I'm still hiding within its world, and about how all the support you, my dear readers, have given me. Thank you so much. Please click here to read Ms. Smock's amazing article.
I wanted to work in how if it had not been for Mr. Zachary Tyler Linville putting me in contact with Ms. Smock, the whole thing wouldn't have happened. Zac is the author of Welcome to Deadland, winner of the Nerdist Collection Contest. There's a damn good reason he won, too. His book is first in a series, and if you're as big a Walking Dead fan as I am, you should make it a point to check out and pre-order his work. (That's right: ZOMBIES!)
There was one detail which Alicia and I tried to work in to the article, but was left clipped on the editing room floor. See near the end how she mentions only 'three human beings on the planet' know the secrets I'm hiding in "The Animal in Man"? Well, author Andy Ainsworth is one. His fantastic novel "These Old Bones" (buy it!) was one of the very first that ever sold me on how amazing the Inkshares platform could be for us authors, and he's since become the friend of mine who helped me find my own novel's great cover art.
Rick Heinz, who I pretty much consider my Mr. Miagi at this point (though he strives for Yoda), is mentioned. I want to thank Rick once more - because I can never do so enough - for pushing my hesitant *** into the Sword & Laser contest. He believed in me. Rick's next book - the sequel to his "Seventh Age: Dawn" - is already underway. Pre-order Dawn now so you can be prepared when Jack II (the cybernetic assassin I played in his game) makes his appearance in "Rise of Dystopia." (He better, Rick, or else!)
Thank you so much for following "The Animal in Man." We're going to win this thing. I know there are still plenty of followers out there reading this who have not committed to a full-on pre-order yet. There may be an attitude of 'Ah, Joe's already won this thing.' There may be a belief that I'm some arrogant king on a hundred-reader mountain. But neither is the case. I am still in need of your help, and I am simply humbled by all the support I've received thus far for "The Animal in Man." Once the story is done and the book's in your hands, you'll see why I believe in this project so passionately. I hope you'll join me, see the heart I pour into it, and help me get the book to you where it belongs.
Die-hard Rebels, Royal Citizens prepare yourselves for an update!
We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Best wishes for a happy and successful 2016 to everyone.
Despite the holiday whirlwind of family activities, Finn and I have still managed to continue work on the project. Hampered by our mutual bah humbug attitude to social media, we have nevertheless managed to do mysterious electronic things in Facebook, Twitter, and Google plus. Not sure if any of it is working just yet, but we are doing them. We might not be doing them well, but hey, baby steps.
We did manage to get that Author interview up and running. You can check it out HERE and while you are there, investigate Melanie's Starwalker web-series. It's good stuff.
There was also another mini-project we did and attempted to upload to the Suffrage project page. It looks like we did everything correctly, but the book trailer is not displaying on the project page. Razza frazza. We did manage to upload the trailer onto the Facebook page and the Google plus community page, and Snake tweeted about it. See baby steps...
So for all of you backers and readers... please enjoy OUR FABULOUS NEW BOOK TRAILER. Share it around on social media (I'm sure you'll do a much better job than us), and tell us what you think of it.
That's all for now, back to the editing process.
