Hey everyone!

Sorry, I’ve been MIA with no updates. It is the holiday season and things have been a bit crazy. I’ve been bouncing around with some heavy editing and trying to focus on work. I’ve also been diving back into my web development courses and dealing with a general "heavy run down" feeling. Also, house hunting, wedding planning, and... well, life can be exhausting. If you’re interested in a sample of what I’ve been up or just curious about what it looks like from 1,000 feet in the air, click this long sentence! 

I’ve got some exciting news! The Quill Brotherhood Syndicate chose The Living God as its December pick! A really nice email to find a few minutes ago. 

So, there are 24 days left in funding The Living God. We passed Quill with your help, and the help of the syndicates that were kind enough to throw their support behind the book (The Fantasy Syndicate, The Break the Bechdel with Strong Female Characters Syndicate, and the Quill Brotherhood Syndicate).

With 24 days left, and it being December, I’m shooting for a Christmas Miracle! We’ve got 24 days and we’re at 281. The miracle? 750 orders total. 469 in 24 days. That is around 20 orders a day, and seemingly impossible, but, why not? Why not believe in a Christmas/Holiday Miracle? Can you help? 

If you’re feeling in the giving spirit, how about grabbing a second copy for a friend? Or maybe ask that friend to grab a copy? If you haven’t got your own yet, and you’ve been on the fence because of budget reasons, since we made Quill the price dropped! E-books currently sit at $5.99 and signed print copies at $15.99! Incentives are still there on the page, and will be available until after funding closes in 24 days!

It is a long shot, and I’ve got about as much energy as a bear in hibernation (darn time change), but I’m going to give it a shot regardless of the distance. Are you in?

Hello all!

The campaign to fund an Inkshares publication of Beneath White Clouds ends tonight and it looks like... well, it looks like I’m better at writing fiction than managing a crowdfunding campaign. I’m OK with that :-)

Those of you who pre-ordered (gods among men) should look out for an e-mail from me on December 6th.

I’ve always been a proponent of the DIY approach. I am self-publishing Beneath White Clouds. I hired and editor to help me clean the thing up (because there are some things you can’t do yourself) and put together the final version of the book over the past few weeks.

Polling of my cover art concept drafts showed the original cover as a clear favorite, so I leveled-up my GIMP skills and put together a final version:

The book should be available everywhere on December 6th, 2016. It might be rude to name other booksellers and competing publishing services on this Inkshares platform, so I’ll use superhero references:

If you want a paperback, or have an e-reader which requires .mobi files, you can find it at the retailer whose name sounds like Wonder Woman should be in charge.

If you want a different kind of e-reader file (.epub, .pdf, etc.), these are supplied by the indie publisher that sounds like the Hulk’s preferred poetic style. Those guys will send the .epub version out to all the other e-book shops who aren’t run by Wonder Woman. If it’s not there when you go looking for it, it’ll be there soon.

Thanks for your support, and good luck on your campaigns!

Good Evening Readers!
