An avid reader.. My son Paul wrote Ghosts of War. Check it out, all support greatly appreciated. It ...
And a grand hello to all my wonderful followers. We have news. Get comfortable cause this is going to be a long one.
First of all let’s have the super awesome news. WE’VE DONE IT!! WE’VE MADE QUILL!! THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN!! It’s hard to really express how I’m feeling right now. This is the first full length book I’ve dedicated myself to writing and to see it go so far is nothing less than amazing. But it didn’t make it there on it’s own. It’s because of all of you that my dream is going to become a reality. There are a hand full of amazing people that I want to give a shout out to. They are truly awesome.

These fantastic people really made the difference in the last stretch and I can’t thank them enough. You’re all a treasure. I really mean it.
On to other things. Now that we have hit 250 that means it’s time for another 50 Point RAFFLE!!!! And the winner is...
Mike Donald!!! You’re the winner to the 50 Point Raffle Quill Edition!! I don’t know what makes this one more special but I’ll think of something. I’ll be contacting you to get your info so I can send your super soft Beyond the Code blanket.
Thank you all for everything. This whole experience had taught me so much, made me grow as a person, and has brought me alot of great friends.
QUILL!!!!!!
Greetings you wonderful people,
HOLY PRE-ORDERS BATMAN!! Look at them all roll in. Thank you all soooooo very much for really getting behind Beyond the Code and helping push it to Quill. I am finding it difficult to truly express how much all your support really means to me. Just WOW!!
But we’re not done yet. We are only a tiny 14 orders away from Quill. It’s literally just around the corner. If you love this book and really want to see it in print pre-order today. Tell your friends, tell your family, tell your enemies, TELL EVERYONE!! A signed first edition book is a great gift or maybe you have some extra credits around and you want some good karma. Any reason is a good one at this point.
Again thank you soo much for all the support in making my dream of Beyond the Code in print. We can do this!

The end is nigh...
Not really...BUT TOMORROW IS AGELESS’s BOOK BIRTHDAY (aka PUBLICATION DAY)! Do you have one yet?
I will be taking over the Inkshares Twitter (@inkshares) for an AMA from 7:00-8:00pm EST/4:00-5:00pmPST!
Here’s how it works:
I’m looking forward to all of the craziness that will happen tomorrow! Derek said craziness happens. And I believe.
Go here to read a fantastic interview I had with Alicia Smock on examiner.com! I share all my secrets...except that one...that’s for me only.
REVIEWS ARE IMPORTANT (in case I hadn’t made that clear yet)
I am hoping to get 50-60 or more on Amazon’s Ageless page so we can get more visibility on the site. You’ll need to give a starred and written review, please - short and sweet is fine (5 stars - I loved it.)
Then copy and paste your review onto Goodreads Ageless page! It only takes a second and it could change my life.
LAUNCH PARTY SATURDAY!
DragonCon is a yearly event in Atlanta and this year for their 30th anniversary they’ve decided to create their own awards for SciFi and Fantasy called, what else, The Dragon Awards! If you enjoyed Ageless consider nominating me for an award. (Alternate History or Military SciFi would be the categories most like Ageless, yeah it’s hard to categorize).
Plus, it’s in Atlanta. That’s pretty much my backyard (not my backyard)!
Finally, I hope you all know that tomorrow is a celebration for all of us. You helped to make this story a reality. Last May, this was just a dream I had. Now here we are and you have that dream in your hand.
My god....
