It's been a while since I've sent out a Reader Update. Just wanted to drop a line and tell everyone where I'm at. After moving and a prescheduled vacation (where I got to hang out with fellow Inkshares author Rick Heinz, go check out The Seventh Age: Dawn if you haven't already. Seriously.) I got back to work and focused on editing. I've just completed a revision of the manuscript for Welcome To Deadland. I will be turning paperwork and the manuscript in to Inkshares very soon, December 1st, and from there on out a team will be hard at work bringing Welcome To Deadland to life and into your hands.

In the meantime, make sure to check out additional books on Inkshares, both funding and in-production. This company has helped me achieve an amazing opportunity, as have other authors working on their own campaigns. Other book suggestions include:

These Old Bones by Andrew J. Ainsworth

Blood Dawn by John Robin (he requests readers wait until Monday, the 16th, to place orders)

A Beast Requires by Jay Lockwood

Thank you all again,

Okay guys, I'm dropping you guys a little update about what to expect. 

I've been finishing up my round of developmental editing. I should be done very shortly, as I only have 59 pages left to go. After which, I'll be adding an epilogue. Ultimately, I'm ahead of schedule. I'm due to turn in the manuscript to Inkshares on December 1st. 

After I finish this pass through, I'm going to ask how I can best release the entire draft for those who wish to read it. After all, a perk of backing the book early, is you get to read or see how these drafts work! If you catch anything, or have any feedback as I do this, by all means, send me an email!

After I turn in the manuscript to Inkshares. I'll undergo two more rounds of editing. One more round of developmental editing, and then copy editing. Meaning I'll have rewritten this book roughly six times before it sees print. 

All told, to take a book from a blank sheet of paper, into a fully published printed book, it's looking like a year and a half turn around. I've been writing and editing on my own for the past year, and this marks the one year date when I sat down and began writing. So I'm getting very close!

I'll be dropping you guys monthly updates about the entire process, and trust me: You'll know when I start releasing additional chapters :).
