Hello Friends
There are so many exciting things happening I don’t even know where to start.
The Catcher’s Trap is edited. This means that the manuscript is done and ready. Just writing that sentence seems unbelievable to me.
Also the front and back covers are almost ready. Below it’s the final design (never mind the typos they will be fixed)
Probably the most exciting news to report is that my book is already part of the Ingram catalog (they are a big book distributor) which means that the book is available for bookstores to order, and three independent bookstores already have ordered it.
Eight months ago, when I jumped into that crazy Nerdist contest, I had no idea what I was doing. I just went all in; like in this video of me yesterday in the Puerto Rican rain forest.
Thanks to all of you, I made it to the other side with a publishing deal.
I can’t be more thankful and more excited.
Right now I’m sitting in front of a pool in sunny Puerto Rico, writing chapter 6 of Worlds Walker (The Catcher’s Trap sequel) I am so full of inspiration and so determined to write a great book that I hope all of you will support and love when the time comes.
If you want to read the preface of Worlds Walker you can find it here. You can also follow the project if you like.
Have a fantastic day.

The end is nigh...
Not really...BUT TOMORROW IS AGELESS’s BOOK BIRTHDAY (aka PUBLICATION DAY)! Do you have one yet?
I will be taking over the Inkshares Twitter (@inkshares) for an AMA from 7:00-8:00pm EST/4:00-5:00pmPST!
Here’s how it works:
I’m looking forward to all of the craziness that will happen tomorrow! Derek said craziness happens. And I believe.
Go here to read a fantastic interview I had with Alicia Smock on examiner.com! I share all my secrets...except that one...that’s for me only.
REVIEWS ARE IMPORTANT (in case I hadn’t made that clear yet)
I am hoping to get 50-60 or more on Amazon’s Ageless page so we can get more visibility on the site. You’ll need to give a starred and written review, please - short and sweet is fine (5 stars - I loved it.)
Then copy and paste your review onto Goodreads Ageless page! It only takes a second and it could change my life.
LAUNCH PARTY SATURDAY!
DragonCon is a yearly event in Atlanta and this year for their 30th anniversary they’ve decided to create their own awards for SciFi and Fantasy called, what else, The Dragon Awards! If you enjoyed Ageless consider nominating me for an award. (Alternate History or Military SciFi would be the categories most like Ageless, yeah it’s hard to categorize).
Plus, it’s in Atlanta. That’s pretty much my backyard (not my backyard)!
Finally, I hope you all know that tomorrow is a celebration for all of us. You helped to make this story a reality. Last May, this was just a dream I had. Now here we are and you have that dream in your hand.
