GREETINGS SPACE GENTS,

Okay, it’s been a bit, but I wanted to have some really freaking great news for you before I put any wish-washy pseudo-updates out. So here goes. 

We are IN PRODUCTION. Full stop. We’ve blasted out of our old star system into the new, and the destination is in view. Do you know what that means? 

First it means I have a whole lot of work to do, but this is some fast-tracked, scheduled, definitive (as can be) work. And it also means I have a...how do you say...release date?!

Okay, no question mark. I have a release date. And because I have a release date, you too are going to get it! Now, this is my first time doing the whole pro-publishing gig, so I don’t want to say that it’s 100% certain, but I have a pretty official-looking timeline, and it looks like the book will be releasing on...

dundundun...

That’s right; this thing is slotted for May Day! It’ll be in your hands before you know it. 

(Also, author’s note: I’m PUMPED about this release date coincidence, because as many of you know, this book is all about that class war (and also space).)

I hope this news finds you well, and in the meantime I’m working with Inkshares’ editing and production staff to make the book solid, as well as getting together the packages I owe many of you from the campaign. 

Thanks for your support and patience along this magnificent space quest.

Your spaztastic Space Captain,

 Hello friends!

I hope your holiday season was wonderful and that 2018 is shaping up to be a great year for you!

I wanted to give you a quick update on where things stand with the production of Eudaimonia. At the beginning of January, I got an email from the folks at Inkshares. They have read the Eudaimonia manuscript and will be reaching out in the next week or so with some information/notes on editing.  This is very exciting! Things are happening.

The email also asked a bunch of questions about the "theme" and "archetype" and "Where does your story belong in the 40,000-year-old tradition of human storytelling?" I’m not going to lie, that last one tripped me up a bit. My initial reaction was, "You know, near the end." Like I was telling a mover where to put a box. Not to be flippant, but it is much easier to tell a mover where to put a box than to consider where your place should be in the whole of human storytelling.  (I mean, geez, what do you say to that?) So, I said what felt natural: "I don’t know." 

Nailed it.

I am very much looking forward to the next steps. I can’t wait to fill you in on everything as it develops! 

Thank you so much for taking this journey with me, I think we are going to have a lot of fun along the way.

Your friend,

Meghan Godwin

I am so very happy with all of us!  We are still looking at a February release, which is FANTASTIC!!!  Even if it’s a little late, that’s still in the first quarter of the year.  :D  

I also have some more good news:  the cover art for Book Two of A Vow Unbroken (The series name for Borehole Bazaar) is at the middling draft phase!  The initial artist’s portfolio can be seen here, and the final digital correction artist’s portfolio can be seen here! 

 I wish every last one of you FANTASTIC success, by whatever measure it is defined, and hope the coming weeks bring you great joy!

Dear friends and followers,

Things continue apace, and I think we’re on track for publication before summer. It’s a lot more work than I bargained for! The big news, though, is that we’re changing the title of the book. The story will now be published as "A Gentleman’s Murder". Well, if a gentlemen’s club, then of course a gentleman’s murder, right? And one has to admit it rolls off the tongue more easily.

It does mean I’m going to need a new header for these news bulletins....

The other big news is that we’ve also got a new cover!

It’s not quite final yet, I’m told, but I gather that this is a pretty good taste of what’s in store.

And now, I had better get back to those edits. Before somebody murders me....

Today is a great day, thanks to you, and Inkshares. 

I can honestly say I wouldn’t be where I am without the experience I had working with Inkshares on Sunshine is Forever. I have had both negative and positive experiences with the company, but I know their editorial process really improved my writing and taught me a ton. I want to thank Inkshares and all of you for supporting me with this book. You helped elevate me to the next level.

I’ve been querying to get a writing agent for 7 years. Well, I can finally announce that I have officially accepted representation with Jennifer Soloway at Andrea Brown Lit. I am thrilled! Here’s to a long and prosperous writing career!
