My dear mortals or otherwise!

We are four days from the funding campaign for A God in the Shed being over. As I write this there are only 14 copies left of the 750 needed to fund. This is good news for me as the writer, obviously, and for those who have pre-ordered as they will get their signed and numbered copies with all the other perks.

The bad news is for those who haven’t ordered.

Judging from my experience with The Life Engineered, only the 750 who pre-order will get their copies signed and numbered. I might still try to sneak in a bookmark or signed print into other copies but that’s not a guarantee. Also, only readers who pre-order during the funding campaign have a chance to win the ’privilege’ of dying in the book. In effigy of course. I’m not actually murdering readers and magically infusing their essence into my books. Don’t believe the rumours.

This means that even with 4 days left to the campaign this might be your very last chance to pre-order A God in the Shed and benefit from all the perks. If you’ve been waiting for the last minute to get your signed and numbered copy with a bookmark and a chance to have a character modelled after you die in the story then this is IT. This is the last minute (Figuratively. You still have a few hours, maybe a day or two.). I hate to be the guy to say that ’supplies are running out!’ but each day I’m shocked at how quickly copies are getting ordered. There’s a very real possibility that this is the last day of this campaign.

So yeah... I thought you might want to know that. Also; tell your friends. Just in case I’m wrong.

Thanks again for the amazing support friends. Because of you I get to go through the process of editing another one of my book. Slowly, my dream of being a writer is becoming reality.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and an easy Monday!  Not much to update today...The Army of the Man is still coming along nicely.  But I found this picture and had to share :).  

One tiny request though...PREORDER!!  Please please please!  It would mean the world to me to put this book in the top three of the Geek and Sundry Hard Science Contest, and I need your help to make it happen.  Preorder, recommend, send a friend over to check it out...all would be so appreciated!

Happy Tuesday, Space Crew! 

First, to start things off properly, I need to give a space-sized congratulations to my friend JF Dubeau, who’s successfully funded his second book, A God in the Shed. 750 orders with a few days to spare. Congratulations! 

Onto Cup news! I used to think we had a lot of time. Wasn’t it just yesterday I was saying there was a month to go? And now we only have half that. 

I know a lot of you are followers who haven’t picked up a copy. But time is running out, and the best way you can show support is to place your orders before the funding period ends. 

Those who have ordered, let me remind you what’s in store with your Recommendations. If you’re one of the top three Recruitment Officers you’ll be receiving this prize pack: 

So join me in shamelessly spamming this book everywhere. I want my social feeds so filled with this book that I miss out on more interesting things and complain for a moment before remembering how grateful I should be.

Not Afraid of the Fall readers,

We are nearing the finish line, so let’s start sprinting. We were obviously just setting this campaign up for an epic finish! It is going to take each and everyone of you reaching out to 1-5 people and asking them to preorder a book for this to happen! Do me a huge favor and send the email below to anyone that might be interested! We’ve got this guys it just a numbers game!

Dear (name),

I hope you are doing well! I don’t normally do this but I have a favor to ask you...My good friend Kyle James quit his job and backpacked in Europe and Asia for five months! He wrote a book called Not Afraid of the Fall about his journey and is trying to get it published! In order for the book to get full editing, developing, marketing and publishing...he needs 750 preorders. The book is currently about half way there and every book counts! If you are interested in helping his cause by preordering a book for $10 go to this URL:

There are preorder instructions on the right side of the page under the green Preorder button!

Thanks for helping out and have an awesome day!

Greetings wonderful people, 

Quill is just around the corner which is super exciting...but then again the end of the campaign is also not far away which is terrifying!!

Keep it together!

So I just wanted to drop a line with you fine people who have decided to follow this crazy dream of mine. First of all thank you all soooo very much for you continuing support and awesome feedback. You all have carried me through the uncharted territory of this campaign and I couldn’t be more grateful. 

Secondly, I need your help to make that last push. We are short only 56 orders till Quill and I know we can make it. So please if you ever wanted to support Beyond the Code put in your pre-order before time runs out. 

Thanks again

Hello all of my 220 slice and dicers...just a brief update. 

I’m at 234 pre-orders...so I only have a few days to scoop up the last 16 pre-orders to get over the Quill line.  So far I have nearly 100 of you entered into the $100 raffle...no that doesn’t mean one lucky winner will take home a $1.  One lucky winner will take home $100.  

Now simple maths dictates that if you pre-ordered more than one you will have double or more  chances of being picked.  But whatever you choose to throw your $10s at, I’d like to thank all of you for supporting me during the last three months. 

I’d especially like to give a big shout out to some of the many generous authors that have helped guide me through the treacherous waters of  crowd funding.  

Peter Ryan, the author of SYNC CITY, a great thriller and worth checking out.  Joni Dee, author of AND THE WOLF SHALL DWELL, a wonderful thriller, also Billy O’ Keefe author of  THESE ARE MY FRIENDS ON POLITICS a wickedly funny children’s book.  Christopher Huang’s MURDER AT THE VETERAN’S CLUB a lovely period detective novel and Kelsey Rae’s BEYOND THE CODE, an adventure in the fantasy genre ...

And last but not least the two great syndicates that helped raise my profile by picking me as their book of the month...THE IDIOSYNCRATICATE SYNDICATE  and the THRILLER NIGHT SYNDICATE check them out.  When I’m fully funded I will post a more effusive list of the wonderful people that have also helped me along the way.

Anyway, enough hyperbole...if you have some credits, or are feeling generous, why not throw a few dollars at the Louisiana Blood stagecoach and spur those horses over the Quill border.  Saddle up HERE!
