The final manuscript has been approved with Girl Friday Productions!

I even learned what a Flueron is recently.

I choose the Illuminati Eye triangle... because they area always watching. 

Tinfoil hat aside: I’ll be at Wizard World in Chicago August 18th thru 21 with a booth. More details on that coming soon. 

I have more art from Lizzy Perez! This one is a bit more laid back, Mike and the crew playing some games after a night of demon hunting

This scene directly ties into an Anthology I am part of with the character Akira. You can learn more about the Too Many Controllers in the current Nerdist contest by clicking right: Here

Lastly, there is one final... final thing: If you are following this book and haven’t dived in yet. Here it is. The last chance to be entered into one of 7 raffles for a demon hunter kits, tarot cards, and artwork. We need... 8 more people!

So call your friends! The Angels are coming! The end is nigh!!!

Hey Everyone,

This past week was a great one for pre-orders. We are a few orders away from being 50 percent funded. Some of you even returned for a second or third copy. That’s encouraging. I know this book doesn’t fit neatly into one certain genre, so finding a dedicated audience is rough.

As I mentioned last week, Pixilated Obsidian Roses has been picked up by the Library of Alexandria collection. These guys have been great and have provided some fresh eyes to the project. Their input has been valuable. As a result of this input, there will be some changes to the project for the better.

Our biggest discussion concerned the title. For a while, I have been wondering if Pixilated Obsidian Roses was helping or hurting in generating pre-orders. Past feedback has been mixed. Some have told me that it was the uniqueness of the title that drew them. Others, while appreciating it, have expressed that it doesn’t seem to fit with the dark tone of the book. Obviously, as the author, I know the end of the story and how such a title fits in with the narrative. However, that doesn’t make it good for marketing.

With all this said, the title, Pixilated Obsidian Roses, will likely be changed. The new title will be announced later in the week, once it is decided. (I welcome any protestations from those of you who feel strongly about the current title.)

Secondly, for those of you who have yet to pre-order, we have some incentives. 

1. For all new pre-orders, Christopher Johnson is graciously offering a free copy of his book, Be Ye Therefore Wise as Serpents. (This offer will be available until we reach our current funding goal of 250 pre-orders)

2. Starting today, June 18, everyone who makes a pre-order will be entered into a raffle to win a 25 dollar Amazon Gift Card. The drawing will be held once we hit 250 pre-orders. Keep in mind that your name will go in for EACH NEW PRE-ORDER MADE. So, if today you decide to order 5 copies, you have 5 chances to win.

Thanks again for all your support. It’s been a rough ride, but we’ll get there.

Hey Guys,

Hey guys,

This is just a quick reminder that tomorrow at 12:00 GMT (about 14 hours from now) all of you who have pre-ordered SQUIDS IN will be entered into a raffle to win one of three cuddly octopuses from the Disney Store, in recognition of the international launch of the film "Find Dory".

if you have yet to place a pre-order, get it in now to be in with a chance of winning your own cuddly octopus.

Have a great weekend!

Wednesday night I headed over too Berkeley for the Trekonomics signing event. Had a great time listening to people talk Trek and got to meet the author himself. Very inspiring to meet a very successful Inkshares author. Even got my copy Signed!

Hi all,

haven’t been in touch for 2 weeks, but it doesn’t mean i haven’t been working. 616 orders we are, with 28 days to go (wow). This is where I need you all to step up, we are only 134 orders short of 750 --never thought I would be saying this (!) 
So, please please, forward this pre-order link https://goo.gl/3bTKYB to all your friends. I will donate 3.5$ from every order to the kids at Norwood UK (who really need it) and you get to send me off to Inkshares full publication, g-d willing...
Inkshares fellow authors, if you have extra credits to toss at the cause - I will be grateful just the same.

I thank every single order, they all count. But also wanted to mention Josl, Judith, Ora and Daniella, all placed generous multiple orders.

Once you’ve done with me, please take the time to check my dear friend Evan Graham’s Tantalus Depths, an excellent SciFi novel worthy of your attention. Evan is actively helping me, and had written a fantastic novel - so I wanted to mention him as well. 

Finally, it is no secret that for EURO 2016 as always I back the Azzurri (Americans look it up - sorry).. But interesting (and not easy) days are upon us here in England with current events and also the potential Brexit.
So while you all go out there to promote my book (a dash of wishful thinking) join me all with a BIG Hurrah to the Lions in white!! Go England!
