Good morning all.
Just a quick update on the progress of the book campaign. We have 57 days left until November 14, and we’re sitting at 169 orders of the necessary 250 to publish. We’re ahead of pace to make our goal, which is the good news. The slightly more nerve-wracking news is we’re ahead by one book. So it looks like this is going to be a tight race. If you haven’t ordered yet, or are interested in ordering a second copy, or want to donate an eBook preorder to help the book get published, I can’t tell you how much I’d appreciate it. But I’d try.
The book itself is in the middle of its seventh and hopefully final draft. I’ve sent the manuscript out to a few fellow authors who have read it and said some very positive things about it. I’m toying with an idea to make the story a little tighter, and hopefully once that’s in, I’ll be finished and the book will be ready for the long process of getting released via Inkshares. And once it gets through that, it’ll be in all of your hands.
So thank you all for the support you’ve shown so far. We’ve got a little less than two months to pull together and push to the end. With the love you guys have shown so far, I don’t have any doubt it’s possible. Only 81 to go.

Thank you all again.

Everybody is sending out reader updates today and I don’t want to be left out!
Eric Landreneau (author of Beneath White Clouds) reviewed Monkey Business. So check that out here if you’re interested!
And if you guys would consider following my new project Black Cloud, I would be very grateful!
And now just for funsies here are some ridiculous Monkey Business videos. The prices are wrong but who cares? There are sock puppet monkeys. Happy Sunday!
In the mood for something a little more Rockin’?
Or do you just wanna make love down by the fire?
Bye bye!
Hey there, I thought I’d update you on the progress with Pilot X as it’s been wending its way through the publishing process.
First our AMAZING cover is finalized. You’ll see it updated on the Pilot X page here. Let us know what you think!
Just got the copy-edited manuscript back. Copy edit is where they not only fix punctuation but also make sure the style is consistent and such. It’s less intensive than the developmental edit I told you about back in June. Just tightens things up so it all makes sense and looks good on the page.
I sent that back Tuesday so we’ll hopefully be on our way to proofs and galleys soon!
All in all this means we’re still on target for a March 14 release. Thanks again so much for all the support.
Cheers,
Tom
Hey gang. Long time no see...chat...whatever.
If you didn’t know, I enjoy doing this writing thing...like a lot...
(Did you know Ageless was the first in a trilogy? If you read it, you probably picked up on the fact that there could be more. SPOILER - there is more! Follow Timeless here!)
But, I need your HELP to continue doing this writing thing. (Hint - REVIEW AGELESS on AMAZON and GOODREADS)
I put together the following (very) tentative & (very) ambitious production schedule covering the next few years. See anything you like? I hope so! Let me know what you think.
