It's my birthday today, and guess what the big highlight has been?

That's right! After overwhelming feedback from readers this weekend -- all of it near unanimous in support of switching to the new funding model and qualifying for the Quill imprint -- I decided LET'S DO THIS!
As of now, Blood Dawn has reached its funding goal! Blood Dawn will at the very least be published under the Quill imprint (click here to read more about what that entails).
However, we still have until April 11th to push hard and get Blood Dawn to 750 pre-orders. If we can do that, then Blood Dawn will be published as a full Inkshares production, with all the added perks.
Either way, Blood Dawn will be a print book and an ebook, which means it will get out there for readers to enjoy! All of you who have supported this book and the many who have emailed me expressing your excitement for Blood Dawn will soon be able to read it -- hold it in your hands, live Rena's story the way I've been living it for the last 14 months.
So, if you haven't pre-ordered this book, or if you've been waiting until it picks up a bit of momentum, now you can jump on board knowing your pre-order is going toward helping Blood Dawn reach 750 pre-orders so that it will get full Inkshares support including more in-depth editorial, design and distribution services. Most importantly, you can order knowing this is a book you will get to read no matter what.

Here's to Blood Dawn, and THANK YOU for your generous support. Without you, none of this would be possible. You've helped me live my dream, and I promise, this adventure is just getting started.
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,
