Good news everybody -- I've found the toolkit I've been looking for!

Gah I was mentioned on the Sword & Laser podcast!  Deus Hex Machina is officially FAMOUS! If you haven't watched the latest episode, they interview the current top three Inkshares finalists, and then mention my book at the end.  Very exciting stuff.  I loved Craig's story about his wife and how he started writing.

We are currently at 94 orders, and the incomparable A.C. Weston has graciously decided to run a little contest in support of DHM. If we get ten more people ordering, up to 104, then she will raffle off an original inked panel she's creating from the DHM graphic novel to one of those ten people.  So awesome, I cannot handle it!  Check out just one of the awesome panels here:

She's just so good, isn't she? I was so honored when she said she wanted to try her hand at a page from the old script. This sort of makes me want to update the script with the changes from the novel and get the whole thing drawn...but novel first! Focus Mandie!

Anyway, if you want a chance be one of the next ten people to order the DHM!  

Lastly, we are halfway to my next novel giveaway raffle, and only 65 orders away from 5th place. I know it seems like a long way to go, but we have a lot of followers so maybe these two contests will pull some lurkers out of the woodwork. I would love nothing more than to end this contest in 5th and maybe even 4th place. I think it's important to have a woman in the top five, don't you?

Alright, I hope I get the chance to do a raffle drawing today, so I'll say see ya later rather than goodbye.  Cheers!
