It’s Thursday!
Hope you are all doing well on this fine day!
We are just over 2 weeks to go in the campaign and things are looking promising. I haven’t slept much over the past 4 months, and I don’t anticipate I will until this campaign comes to a close.
It’s #tbt today and so I will once again share a sketch, by my friend Ryan Howitt, for your viewing pleasure. This picture depicts an event in an already uploaded chapter. It’s Victor and his son on a hunting trip. He teaches his boy how to hunt, but something seems to be afoot!
You guys have been great, I cannot wait for you all to read the book. I worked extremely hard writing it, creating the rules of the world in which it exists and sticking to those rules.
It is more than it seems. I promise you it is more than just a monster story. It has depth, and consequences to it. It is something I am very proud of.
When I first pitched the book on Inkshares I described it as "Jaws meets Close Encounters." Now I’d describe is as "Stranger Things meets Stand By Me."
I promise you this is a story worth backing!
Thank you all for your ongoing support, it keeps me sane!
Now, let’s finish strong!

Hello Cape’s Side Readers!
Here we are with under 20 days remaining! Unbelievable! Feels like yesterday I click the green button and made the campaign LIVE!
There isn’t enough space in these update messages to thank every person that has helped me along the way. The support given by friends, family, and the people here on Inkshares has been unbelievable and I am forever grateful.
With 19 days to go I wanted to do a bit of a throwback, of sorts, with a sketch from a chapter in the book. I won’t get away any specifics on it as it happens later on, but a friend of mine drew it and I really like it. I did post it in an update previously, but that was in March. I can’t believe we are already in mid August!
Labour Day is close at hand, and that is when Cape’s Side Bay takes place & the campaign comes to an end!

Enjoy your day, your summer, and everything in between (hopefully pre-ordering Cape’s Side Bay fits in there)!
Although I’ve become a poor blogger with no sense of schedule over the last year or two, I still have a blog which counts several hundred page-views even when I don’t post, every month. Much more when I do. Starting this coming monday (very much in honor of Draftshares which has so recently ended) I would like to invite Inkshares authors the chance to display themselves and their projects on my blog. Basically it would be an author profile and an introduction to their stories, with one or two images of their choosing.
Obviously, I don’t promise any specific results. It’s only a chance to spread the word of your project on another tiny piece of this infinite little internet of ours. If you are interested in taking part, message me here or post on this forum thread. I can’t say that everyone will be able to do this, since I’ll only be posting one profile per week, but I’ll do my best to spread the love!
If there is enough interest, I might even turn it into two posts a week; one for drafts, and one for projects already in the pre-order phase.
Please let me know if you have any thoughts or ideas about this!
