Greetings, Faoii.

Oh, what’s this? Just a little sneak peek of what’s coming... 

Shields up.

REVIEW THE BOOK ON GOODREADS

Hey everyone! If all goes according to plan I’ll be signing all of the preordered paperbacks on Thursday. The CEO of Inkshares sent me this picture this weekend. Doesn’t the final book look great?!

If you’ve already finished reading please give the book a star rating on Goodreads. Also write a review if you feel so inclined-the review can be something as simple as "I liked this book." The more ratings, the more attention the book will get. You can login to Goodreads with Facebook. It’s so freaking easy to help! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33534889-sunshine-is-forever

I’ll be opening preorders for my next book-KARID-sometime this fall. Follow the book here: https://www.inkshares.com/books/karid

Thank you for your continued support! I hope you love the book!

Hello Knightmares!

How’s your summer going? Has the heat gotten to you yet? I’m ready for fall. It can’t come soon enough.

I don’t have much to update you with on the publishing front, other than I am still waiting my turn. There were quite a few projects that finished their funding period right around the same time as I, and it’s now a matter of waiting.

I’m sure many of you are restless about your investment, but please understand that I am much more restless than any of you. I do not profit from any of my hard work until the book hits the metaphorical shelves, and this has been a project I have been working on since 2001.

To help ease your wait, I have been posting free content to hold you over. Please enjoy the next installment of my SCALES - Mythology series!

Are you one of those people who are reading this and still haven’t picked up a copy of THE KNIGHTMARES? If so, buy now and get in on the action the moment it is released into the wild. Buy now, here!

SCALES - MYTHOLOGY - THE FIRST FALL!

The first installment of the second chapter in my Mythology series is live on my site! Check it out here!

Other Updates - GRACE FALLS!

My anthology series, GRACE FALLS, is almost done its first draft. So far I am happy with how it’s turning out, with nods to favorite episodes of Tales from the Crypt, Amazing Stories, and more. Short stories can be a lot of fun to read and write, and I am happy to say that the stories I am writing for the anthology are a joy for me on both fronts.

Want to know a little about what’s in the anthology?

Mum - Three best friends in the summer of 1987, cross paths with a serial killer that may just be something even more disturbing.

Breacher - Little Amanda has a grand imagination, but whatever crashed in her backyard in the middle of the night was not a part of it. In fact, it may not even be of this world.

Pajamas - Pajamas is a loyal dog, caring as much for his human family as they do for him, but there’s something fishy about one of the other family pets. It smells funny and makes strange noises unlike anything Pajamas has ever heard before.

Cubicle 43-B - Jonah can’t stand his job, but today, on his birthday, his job will push him to the edge.

Mr. Hallows - Dylan has big dreams of being a rock god, but his math teacher, Mr. Hallows, is an awful curmudgeon who has made it his mission to ruin Dylan’s chill. However, there’s much more to Mr. Hallows than meets the eye, and when Dylan is forced into a dare, he must traverse the dark depths of Mr. Hallows’ personal life by breaking into his home.

The Extraordinary Girl - When evil lurks on playgrounds, little children beware. However, some children are not as helpless as others.

Catch the anthology in its finished form sometime this fall/early winter! If you’re looking to be a beta reader, please reach out to me, I could use the extra help!

We now officially have less than 9 days to go in this contest. This next week will be absolutely crucial to the success of Proteus, and there is so, SO much that can happen. We remain at number three in the contest, but we are still just barely ahead of the competition, and the number two position is still rocketing up the ranks, soon to be threatening first place. I don’t feel anywhere close to safe about our place on the leaderboard. Right now, all it takes is two orders for the book behind us, and we’re back down to fourth again.

I know some of you were waiting on paychecks to come in this weekend before putting your orders in, so if you’re able, PLEASE consider ordering it now! We’re in a position where we can regain some lost ground if we can get a surge of support right now. It’d be really helpful if we could close this week off on a high note.

Meanwhile, I give you another little piece of lore from the shared universe of Proteus and Tantalus Depths. While the entire story of Proteus is set on the vast colony ship Somnambule, some of the defining events of our central character’s 

life occurred on the freak desert world of Buyan: a treacherous world of the Expansionary Coalition, bombarded by deadly sunlight on both sides at all times...

Jacob Sicarius and his brother Lucas were both shaped by their traumatic experiences on Buyan. In some ways, literally. Jacob’s injuries on that world led to his transformation into a mechanized killing machine, and the scars both men received on that harsh world manifested as much in the mind as the flesh.

But just how deep was the damage, and how lasting its effects? What else did Jacob lose on Buyan? Events were set in motion then that will soon culminate in a struggle over Jacob’s very soul. 

Find out how it all ends when you pre-order Proteus today.
