So, it’s been a minute - happy almost springtime (although it’s already pretty much summer here in Southern CA and back in NY you’re all still digging out of the snow trenches). I know things have been a little quiet during production, so I thought I’d give you all an update on what’s happening right now! 

I just sent the manuscript to a group of beta-readers who will be delivering their impressions to me soon, at which time I’ll do a few more tweaks on the draft and then deliver my final pass to the editors at Inkshares. Cover art is just getting underway, which I’m particularly excited for. I will certainly post some images when we feel good about what we’ve got! 

At the moment we don’t have an exact publication date scheduled yet, but the estimate still remains end of 2017 or January 2018. Once it’s officially official, you will of course all be the first to know. 

Thanks again for your continued excitement!

I have a request for you, my treasured Mission 51 family.

Inkshares has developed a new way to curate projects, in an effort to better identify those that show promise. The system is called "Story Machine." It is a page that presents you with an Inkshares project that you can then "Like" if you are so inclined. You can also read the available samples if you want to explore the project further. Then, you click "Next" to move on to the next book.

This may seem simple, but Story Machine is an important new feature for Inkshares, as it allows them not only to identify which projects show promise, but also helps to promote those projects to third parties in the publishing, TV, and film industries.

My request is that you please visit the Story Machine page and "Like" the projects that you do, especially Mission 51 when it comes up. Here is the link:

Thanks in advance! I really appreciate it!

Peace!
