Good morning Dreamers,

Well, a dream of mine has come true, or at least is now guaranteed to come true. We’ve reached the pre-order goal and The Sleeping Man will be a real thing. I don’t have an update as to specifically when, but do know it’s happening and once I know, you’ll know. I have some work to do on the second draft, and then I’ll get some feedback. and then we’ll put this out!

As a reward to everyone, here’s some spoilers from the last chapter:

The Sleeping Man awoke from a dream, where he went on some epic journey to some Compendium or something. The lights that woke him came from outside, where he saw a spaceship land and off load a horde of pirate zombies and attractive teenage vampires. He had to do something, The Sleeping Man, or Dave (as it said on his birth certificate), ran to his closet and pulled out a modified machine gun which fired chainsaws. Noting it was surprisingly light, he selected flaming full auto mode and went outside to save the world. 

The hoard turned as one, except for a zombie in the middle who tripped and is completely unrelated to the story, and started towards Dave. Dave screamed at the approaching wall of death, "Get off my plane!" and pulled the trigger. 

Chainsaw after chainsaw chewed into the horde and right before he began to actually wonder how this gun was firing flaming chainsaws, the gun clicked on empty. This was it, with only half the horde taken care of, Dave was sure to die. A voice called from the sky, "It’s dangerous to go alone, take this."

Dave caught the handle of an unknown device and asked, "What is it?"

"It’s a photon cutlass."

"Like a lightsabe-"

"No, we don’t have the rights to that."

"Got it."

"Stop pointing it at your face."

"Who’s even talking right now?"

"I don’t know, the author stopped identifying the speaker."

"My name is Emma."

"Emma please stop, I’m typing everything I"m hearing right now."

"Daddy, can I have cheesecake for breakfast?"

"Yes."

"This is Dave, what the hell is going on?"

"Shut up, Dave. I could kill you with a thought."

"Sorry."

"Daddy? I ate all the cheesecake."

"Holy shit that was fast."

"This is Dave, isn’t there still a horde?"

"No, you killed them all when we were talking."

"Neat."

"Yup."

"So, is that the end?"

"Yes."

"Cool."

THE END

Hi everyone;

        I hope you are having a lovely weekend. I’m using my last two weekends here to drum up support for "Clash with the Immortals". Which wouldn’t had made it this far without the support of people like you. I’m writing to remind you there are only 15 days left to fund and is 232 copies short of our funding goals. If you haven’t already done so, please consider pre-ordering a copy of this novel to help push it over the finish line. Share this novel and project with your family and friends! The more people who are able to help, the sooner and faster "Clash with the Immortals" will be able to enter production and end up on your bookshelf! 

     You know, some books are just worth trying even if they aren’t your favorite genre. I am telling the truth; this series is gaining tremendous support on the outside. Just because the orders are few here do not write it off as never being successful. I don’t know where it will go but just a few days ago I was in New York City for the city wide book convention registration to be held in 2017 and tons of people visited my table asking about this book and others when I only displayed a printout of the book covers. I know there are millions of people in NYC but a lot of times popularity starts in the real world and move to the digital world. What I’m trying to do is invite each of you to take this exciting  journey with me.

Alma

P.S. For those who like lighter, more whimsical type of Fantasy. "The Time before time" was written a year after "Clash with the Immortals." It’s about mythical worlds predating our own world. It’s about the worlds of the Immortals.

A new countdown has begun....

All things considered, I’m not really worried at all. This is about where we were at the 30-day mark before we lost the false pre-orders and got the extension, if I remember correctly. We’re more or less on schedule. That’s still a lot of orders to bring in, so definitely keep spreading the word!

After quite a long hiatus, I’ve resumed the Friday vlogging process! this time I talk in a little more detail about the hardships and obstacles the campaign has faced, and how I’ve worked through them. Hopefully my experience can help some of you as you deal with your own unforeseen setbacks!

Greetings Bards!

I have decided to run the artwork raffle through to the end of the campaign to maximize the draw for the book. I will be adding more and more pieces to the raffle as the weeks go by. 

Just a refresher for those who have forgotten or who never saw anything about the raffle. There are two pieces of art up for grabs so far. Both 18" x 24" canvas prints of the Druidic Wheel and the Map of Tír na nÓg. There will be more art projects to come. I forsee Druid wands, amulets, and much more! All hand crafted by yours truly!

1. You will receive one raffle ticket for pre-ordering the book.

2. You will receive two raffle tickets for referring a friend who pre-orders the book. 

Make sure to tell all of your friends and family about the book, beg, plead, harass, harang, threaten even...ok did I go too far? hmmm maybe lol

Cheers!

Have a great Friday!

Here’s a little excerpt of what I’m editing, with its not to Arthur C. Clarke.

Hello! You first 65 followers are the best. I really appreciate you all jumping in early and following the book. Honestly, I’ve had so much more positive feedback than I expected. It’s pretty awesome.

I shot a first attempt at a promo video for the book last night with the help of a paramedic buddy. I’m not sure how well it went but when I get it edited I’ll share it with all of you and see what you think. At this point I’m at the "gather followers" stage of the game. So if any of you feel inclined to spread the word, I would greatly appreciate it!

Here’s a little treat for following the book. Black Cloud is fiction but throughout the campaign I thought it would be fun to share little real world stuff from time to time. So here is today’s:

A couple weeks ago a patient had the following exchange with one of our local ER docs.

Doc: "So what brought you into the ER today?"

Patient: "I have kidney problems."

Doc: "Ok, what kind of kidney problems?"

Patient: "Well I had a dream that a falcon swooped down and ate my kidneys so I Googled it and it said that means I have kidney problems."

After the doctor had left the room I asked him what he was going to do. He smiled at me and said, "I guess I’ll check her kidneys."

As a writer it makes me jealous that you I can’t make up stuff as crazy as that. That’s it for now guys. Have a good one!
