Quick exciting update to share!

Today I had the honor of being a guest on the Inkshares blog. I was asked some questions about the relentless community building work I’ve been helping with, and given an opportunity to reflect on the future of the Inkshares vision of a democratic publishing model:

Enjoy -- and please share this. The more readers who know about Inkshares, the better.

p.s. remember a few months ago I rallied to help get Jack Bender’s, The Elephant in the Room to its funding goal? Well, I received my three copied yesterday -- and read it in one sitting. What a great book! Stephen King calls it a picture book for adults, and it comes with high praise from J.J. Abrams and David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. Well, I read it in one sitting. What a book! In some parts I laughed hard, but most places touched my heart. Jack has a dark sort of wisdom that’s contagious and it was nice to spend a good hour with him in those pages. Highly recommended!

Hello travellers,

As you have no doubt noticed, we failed to reach the goal. Well, I guess I failed mostly. But as they say, a failure shared is a lesson in self denial!  

Never fear, we will one day succeed! Of that I am sure.  

Meanwhile thank you one and all for showing your support.  Here’s to us!

For now adieu and then, for a while, silence...
