Readers,

Hi, y’all. Sorry for the lengthy silence and no updates anywhere. I was on vacation last week with my family and was unable to get to my computer for an update. I also spent a surprisingly large amount of time eating, sleeping, and then eating some more. I’ve included a picture so you can see I’m telling the truth.

The few orders that have been trickling in recently are so appreciated, you guys. It warms my cold, cynical heart to see your support. We have a few more months to go, but if we were to hit our 750 orders before then we’d be able to publish that much faster! I know you’re as excited as I am to see this little draft of mine become a published book that you can put on your bookshelf. Remember, tell your family, your friends, the barista who makes your coffee at Starbucks...everyone. Working together is the only way we can make this dream a reality!

I’m working on the draft and my blog (www.rhwebster.wordpress.com) as much as I can right now, but I’m back to my real-life job this week too (everyone needs a paycheck and I’m not famous yet). In the meantime, thanks for your patience (and maybe think some happy vibes for my sanity).

A thousand thanks to you all,

- Webster

    It’s 7:48 in the morning, I haven’t even had my coffee yet, and I’m watching as they’re hauling my body out of the river. I’m an Upload, a clone. They’ve mapped my genes, replicated my DNA, made a copy, and now I need to solve my own murder.

    Great reply @Jeremy Thomas . I think that’s an excellent philosophy to build a compelling platform.

      This is fantastic feedback everyone, thank you!

      The idea behind the horizontal scrolling mechanism (’shelves’ as we call them) is to give users a number of curated segments to quickly scroll through (’the vertical scroll’), once they find a shelf they like, they can browse more books by scrolling to the horizontally.

      @Jamison Stone I like your suggestion of incorporating these segments as options on the search page.

      @A.C. Weston great point about the depth of the search functionality. Will definitely add some text that makes users aware that this feature searches LOTS elements: titles, names, descriptions, genres, etc...

      Keep the great feedback coming!

        Greetings Pirates!

        Get your Babel fish ready because here’s an update on the manuscript, as well as my expected timeline! Hurray! Huzzah! Horatio! Horn blower?

        As it stands, the book is mostly written. I say mostly, because it needs editing. First, my beta (a.k.a amazing-doing-it-during-their-spare-time) editors,  Mark and Tom, have sent me their edits which I’m incorporating.  I’m also rewriting some chapters to make them stronger, at least in my humble opinion. Those chapters will then be sent to my betas (they sound like groupies or aliens), who will then send me their edits.  It’s a process, as you imagine!

        Once all of those edits are incorporated, the manuscript will be sent to Inkshares. My goal is August, but Inkshares is awesome and they’ve told me to take my time. However, I think I’m are in a good place and can make it so, as Picard would say. Famous last words?

        Once its with Inkshares, their editors will have a crack at it, including a fact-checker from the Science and Entertainment Exchange. So cool!

        So that is what I’m working on these days. I still can’t believe The Pirates of Montana won the Inkshares/Geek & Sundry Hard  Science Fiction contest. Its been a blurry week of self-congradulations alternating with the Pavlavian urge to check my stats in the contest.  

        Excelsior everyone! Have a fantastic week! Here is your funny dinosaur meme!
