Hey guys! So I got to do something exciting today... I dropped in over at Inkshares and got to meet the men and women creating our avenue for our success! It was a real honor getting to shake hands with everyone whose inadvertently played such a large roll in my life recently. Without these guys, and everyone from the community, Chris and I wouldn’t be here; Quill Authors.
I got to check out the legendary bookshelf of published novels and I can’t wait to see the Amaranth Chronicles on that wall.
Jeremy was cool enough to show me a few new features coming out for those of us who were able to make it into Quill and beyond and I even got to hold Rick Heinz book before he has. Now that’s a trip. :P
Thank you all again for making this possible. Sure Chris and I wrote the manuscript but we wouldn’t be here without all of you!

Yesterday I was informed that The Punch Escrow will be the official inaugural selection for the Geek & Sundry collection on Inkshares! At this point I am still shocked that all of this is happening: That my book is getting published through Inkshares, on the Geek & Sundry imprint. I love you guys, I’ll never be able to give enough thanks for your help in making this happen.
As for the book itself, I’m still in the midst of the first rewrite, currently in the midst of the eighth chapter, The Sky Cries Martyr. In case you want a window into what that looks like, here you go:
As you can imagine, it’s a long and grueling, but living process. For example, even this screenshot is not up to date, as last night I got rid of the "eye cam" reference because it was redundant and slowed down the flow.
Don’t let my pursuit of perfection worry you though, I think I’m well on pace to deliver the rewrite to Inkshares by my August 1 deadline. Once I do that I’ll be able to share a more concrete publication timeline. I’m really looking forward to working with Inkshares and Geek & Sundry on making this book the best it can be. You guys are awesome.
