And a grand hello to all my wonderful followers. We have news. Get comfortable cause this is going to be a long one. 

First of all let’s have the super awesome news. WE’VE DONE IT!! WE’VE MADE QUILL!! THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN!! It’s hard to really express how I’m feeling right now. This is the first full length book I’ve dedicated myself to writing and to see it go so far is nothing less than amazing. But it didn’t make it there on it’s own. It’s because of all of you that my dream is going to become a reality. There are a hand full of amazing people that I want to give a shout out to. They are truly awesome.

These fantastic people really made the difference in the last stretch and I can’t thank them enough. You’re all a treasure. I really mean it. 

On to other things. Now that we have hit 250 that means it’s time for another 50 Point RAFFLE!!!! And the winner is...

  Mike Donald!!! You’re the winner to the 50 Point Raffle Quill Edition!! I don’t know what makes this one more special but I’ll think of something. I’ll be contacting you to get your info so I can send your super soft Beyond the Code blanket. 

Thank you all for everything. This whole experience had taught me so much, made me grow as a person, and has brought me alot of great friends. 

QUILL!!!!!!

Would just like to announce we’ve received an extension! Our campaign was suppose to end tomorrow but Inkshares was gracious enough to offer a 60 day extension pushing our new Pre-Order deadline out toward the end of July! I don’t think we would have been able to do this without the explosion of pre-orders we had last week. Now we’re a mere 40 Pre-Orders from hitting our publishing goal. I want to thank all of you for your efforts. We’re almost there you guys!!!!

May the 4th be with you!

I hope you were able to spend today with that special nerd/geek in your life and celebrate one of the greatest Space Operas ever created. For me, it was hanging with this little guy (see picture below). My daughter flat out refused to be in the picture. Oh toddlers.

Dinosaurs, Calvin and Hobbs, Star Wars. It was a good day.

Lots happening on the book front!! We have a lot of new followers, and I want to say THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!! We really appreciate it! I think you’ll enjoy what’s coming next week!

The Warbler did a wonderful piece about the book. See it here: http://goo.gl/xXGtQf

One thought before I sign off. 

Hemingway once said, "there is nothing to writing, just sit behind a typewriter and bleed." I’m starting to really understand that now.

My hat is off to every single author on this site. You are amazing. 

Writing is hard. Invest in some good band-aides.
