Dear readers,
After almost 1,5 year, it's finally time. My debut novel The Show, which you pre-ordered last year, is alive and back from the printers. It will be shipped to you during next week. Just in time for Christmas.
And for the weekend, I have an early bird surprise for you. You will receive the e-book during the day (Friday), so keep an eye on your inbox. My wonderful publisher Inkshares will send you download links for Apple and Kindle versions.
Those of you who pre-ordered paperback copies, please update your shipping address if necessary. You will receive an e-mail from Inkshares to confirm your address, or change it if needed.
The journey has been amazing, and I want to thank you all for the support, I couldn't have done it without you. It means a lot and I'll never forget it. With great joy, I'm sharing a picture below, a picture that say far more than a thousand words.
Once again, thank you for everything.

Still waiting for that sweet Copyright relief - which gives me a lot more time to feel anxious about the actual book content. I am in desperate need of more feedback before sending it out to the general public. Feedback before it sees an editor, even.
My book-to-film-adaptation club is getting a special holiday gift ADVANCE COPIES OF "Metal Heart." They are all going to read it (or at least SOME of it) and we're doing a round table in early 2016. Excited but also instantly nervous to see how that will turn out.
Not sure if "Metal Heart" is going to hit even the 250 Inkshares mark, so still looking at a Kickstarter because pretty rad merchandise has already been brainstormed and drafted.
Speaking of drafts - "Tin Road" is at the 72,000 word mark and MAYBE 2/3s completed. I'm so close to hitting a major beat but a nasty head cold and starting a new jobby-job this month (plus hosting two Thanksgivings and raising a toddler) kinda wrecked my Nanowrimo goals for this year. November is actually one of the worst times of the year to devote any significant time to writing.
I'll let you know if there's anymore news fit to print. Happy Reading!!
I've posted Chapter Two for your consumption. It introduces Prof. Henry Forsythe and James Porter, his assistant. The chapter takes place in my own hometown, and features the world-famous "Little Harlem Club."
I hope enjoys, and look for more soon!
I hope you're happy. I'm happy.
SINGLE VERSION hit 500 readers in this last week of funding. 500 readers. That really floors me. It's looking like I'm probably not going to hit 750 copies, I really thought that I would and I could but I kinda hit a plateau. But that's ok, truly. It's hard to sell things. And 616 copies to 500 readers feels pretty great.
500. 500 people bought my book. I really can't thank you all enough.
Maybe, just maybe, there will be a mad surge in these last two days. Maybe everyone who's following the project--but has not yet bought a copy--will buy two copies (that would nearly get me there, actually!)....honestly, though, if you've been following SINGLE VERSION but have not yet bought yourself a copy, I hope you'll jump in here at the end.
This whole Inkshares experience has been thrilling, maddening, wonderful, frustrating, inspiring. And fun. It's really been a lot of fun. I'm humbled by the support you've all shown for the book, and I'm so excited to bring it to you. Now the pressure's on to make the book as good as it can be in the editing process.
And I'll really try to be better about updates in the coming months. I've been out of commission.
Tonight, I sleep. Tomorrow, I write! (Oh, actually, my brother's coming to town.) Sunday, I write!!!
- Scott
Greetings,
As promised I have some new chapters right out of the oven. These chapters are loaded with suspense, action and a dramatic climax to the first story arch of the book. I hope it grabs you by the eyeballs and doesn't let go. Give it a read and let me know what you need.
Don't forget to pre-order if you like what I've made so far and if you already have thank you so much for your continuing support.
