I’m so excited to announce that The Talkers are Talking has met its Quill goal and will become a part of the collection!!  I just want to say thank you to all of you lovely, wonderful, generous and supportive readers.  I couldn’t have done it without you, and now as I start the long road to publication, I promise to do whatever it takes to make Talkers the best it can be. More updates to follow (also in regards to Breaking the Bechdel Syndicate- hell yea people, we are really making a formidable group against manic pixie dream girls and other depth-less female character tropes), but for now, thank you, thank you.

Hello readers. Well, we've soared past 600 orders, excellent! Very excited to release a new chapter of the book for you to enjoy, check that out on the project page. We are in the home stretch, and I'll be posting my screenwriting tips starting tomorrow. Hopefully you'll find them interesting and educational, and incentive to order if you haven't done so already (I see plenty of followers who haven't actually ordered yet, join in friends! We only have three more weeks left.)

As a reminder, all hardback orders come with a signed Felicia Day headshot. I couldn't be more grateful for her support for my novel. Her willingness to promote this project I've worked three years of my life on is quite wonderful. We are all lucky to have such a kind friend.

Hope you enjoy the new novel excerpt and the screenwriting tips I'll be releasing starting tomorrow. The finish line is nigh!

First of all, I would like to mention I am making progress with the work so that when we do go to pre-order, no one will have to wait that long to receive their copy, which is neat.

Second of all, I would like to thank all the new followers to The Sleeping Man! Unless one is already published, this type of work can get really hard, so to have support makes me keep pushing because I want to do a good job.

Third of all, I bet most of you are wondering what to get me for my birthday, which is... right now. Thirty-one years ago at the moment of writing this I emerged from the woods fully grown. Oh, what's that? You didn't get me anything? Well, if you are reading this, you already did and it's worth more than I can say. Since I'm greedy though, all I want this year from all of the readers of The Sleeping Man is to find me just one more reader. Then we'll be near the 250 mark and then we'll reopen pre-orders.

Sweet Dreams,

Stephen
