Greetings friends... today we have some excellent content for you to slice through while you await the season finale of Game of Thrones. 

First up: My final copy edited chapter 1. While the entire book is done, I’m only putting up chapter one for you guys to read. If you want to have some literary fun and compare the old chapter 1 vs the copy and proof edited version I’ve made it easy. 

Click HERE for the old one. 

Click HERE for the NEW FINAL SUPER AWESOME one. 

When you are done, feel free to leave a review. Consider it practice for when I start showing up at your houses begging you to leave other reviews on Amazon or Goodreads in November. 

Next: We cleared the milestone mark of 1k! I did an interview with Chris Irvin (Author of Wrestletown) for his blog HERE. Finally, Publishers Weekly has listed The Seventh Age (Gotta scroll down a bit, but I made the list!)

I’m waiting on some final artwork before I begin the raffles, so I’ve decided to leave it open. Anyone who preorders a copy of The Seventh Age before I get my final demon hunter kit ready for raffle and the art needed will be eligible. (Thinking early July).

Hello All My Friends:

Fun news! The talented Martin Kennedy on Instagram did a fun remix of my cover design this week and posted it to his account. The photo received over 1000 likes! 

We are currently at 106 pre-orders, close to the quill goal, but far from the real goal of 750. I encourage everyone (yes you) to read the first chapter if you haven’t already. If you liked it PLEASE do your part to support this book and enable it to become a success!

Pre-Order it, recommend to your friends and family on Inkshares, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, in person, everywhere!

Thank you so much for all the support! 106 down, 644 to go! We can ONLY do it with YOUR help!

Hi Friends,

You may be wondering what this group is that you’ve been added to.

Well, it is a project that I believe in whole-heartedly. A novel written by my very good friend and colleague Matthew Dho. The first chapter is available to read via the link below.

If you like what you read, please pre-order! If the book reaches a certain threshold of pre-orders, it will be published and given a wide physical release in bookstores. If many of you pre-order, I’m going to hold this over Matthew’s head so I can land a sweet role in the inevitable feature film adaptation.

Thank You!

We have a publication date – March 28th 2017!!!

This awesome little addition was made to my Inkshares page last night.

Thank you all for being so patient with me, I know many of you didn’t realize just how long a wait it was going to be when you generously supported my quest to publish The Bones of the Past. To tell the truth, I had no idea how involved the process was myself. I’m now on a schedule to make edits and respond to questions from a sequence of editors through to October.

First up is the developmental edits where plot holes are identified, chronology issues are addressed, fat is trimmed and any big issues fixed. Then comes the copy edits to fix the overall quality of the writing and address any weird word choices I might have made and managed to ignore over my repeated rewrites. Then proofreads, looking at the layout of print and eBook formats… all of which is going to take longer because I can’t manage to tell a story in less than 460 pages… And of course during all that, the interior and cover of the book are going to be designed.

So there’s still lots of work ahead for me, but it’s a hugely exciting process where I get to work with a great bunch of very talented people. The end result is going to be so much better than I ever could have managed alone.

March 28th is a long way off and yet it’s tight for all the work still going into the book and then the marketing efforts that roll out before Bones lands in bookstores. But you won’t have to wait quite that long – Inkshares orders usually show up about a month early! 

Thank you all for your continued support, interest, and *cough* great taste in books! March is just around the corner!
