So I’ve been quiet for a bit, but with good reason, I crashed my bike two weeks ago and a broken rib is a good excuse to be lazy. We’re currently sitting out about a month and half left in the campaign so you know get your orders in soon.

In the very near future I am going to go through and do another big edit on The Road To Hell. I actually finished the manuscript and edited it several times three years, or more, ago. But, as I’ve been thinking of it recently, I thought of a few things I could do differently in the story or different ways I could say somethings so I figured I ought to take another pass at it. As I get chapters redone I’ll replace the ones that are on the project’s page. So if there’s any advice or anything you’d like to see changed drop some critiques on the chapters now. If the orders are rolling in fast at the end of the campaign I’ll get an extension on it and keep bringing up more of the redone chapters, until that halfway chapter that’s already up.

See you later!

I’ll never get to hold my debut novel for the first time again, and that’s awesome.

Last week I went up to Inkshares headquarters in Oakland to sign all of the preorders. Each preorder has a number signifying that you were one of the first four hundred people to preorder a paperback.

And there’s more good news! The books are shipping today! You’re getting the book before it even comes out because you are awesome!

I hope you are happy with the product! Please be sure to rate the book on Goodreads as soon as you finish. After August 29th I’ll send out another update asking you to review the book on Barnes and Noble and Amazon as well. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33534889-sunshine-is-forever

My next book KARID will go up for preorders soon after Sunshine is Forever is officially released. Be sure to follow the book so you can get a unique signed paperback of KARID, too. Follow here: https://www.inkshares.com/books/karid

Thank you for your continued support,

Dear readers, 

I am making good progress on my novel, and I’m excited by how it’s coming together. The process of editing takes a long time, but I’m happy to report that my storyboard is almost finished. The editor and I have agreed on the story except for three items where I have additional work to do: I need to strengthen the storyline of one of my key characters, I need to tighten up the action scenes in a couple of crucial places, and I need to work on the theme. Obviously, the theme is the most challenging of these three. However, I am in agreement on what needs to change with the theme and how it needs to be improved to make it consistent with the overall plot. My goal is to make these edits to the storyboard by the end of the week and get the green light to proceed—and then I will begin rewriting the manuscript. Hopefully with all of this pre work, the rewriting will not take that long. I’m excited to get this book into your hand as soon as possible, but I also want it to be the best book it can possibly be.
