In 1950’s Texas Alejandra, a newspaper reporter gets assigned to an unusual case. Children are being kidnapped and the few that manage to turn up don’t make it home alive. The only suspect in the case is a creature of local legend La Llorona.
Welcome to new followers, and greetings to those who have faithfully stuck with me for awhile. I have some glorious news! 384 copies of The Walls are Closing In have been presold, which slides us over the 50% mark! This leaves 366 copies to go!
I am working on an audio version of Chapter 1 to be released once the 400 order target is met - likely sometime in the next week.
That is not all on the exciting news front! In addition to the dystopian book bundle giveaway that I am running to help spread the word, I have also decided to offer a raffle specifically for those who place a preorder. I will be raffling off a $250 gift card for Airbnb as soon as the 750 order mark is met. Everyone who has already ordered has automatically been entered! 
So, for $10, folks can support an emerging author, and enter for the chance to win a $250 Airbnb gift card. Please tell your family, friends, and random strangers you pass on the street.
In the meantime, check out these other great books currently on Inkshares.
Everything is Normal: The Life and Times of a Soviet Kid
One eventful middle-class childhood behind the Iron Curtain in Soviet Leningrad. A mix of a fun memoir and social history of the years preceding the collapse of the USSR.
A female airship Captain and her crew work to prevent a despotic Queen Victoria expanding her empire.
Yes, I’ve been quiet for a while. Didn’t feel like blowing you guys up with the same old "stuff is happening, *clickety clack*" even though I’ve been diligently at work.
I was awaiting the final round of feedback, and it was monstrously wonderful. Michael Haase provided it. He’s the author of The Madenss of Mr. Butler and all around swell dude. Having incorporated many of his fine suggestions I can say ...
Bombs away!
That is: I’ve submitted the manuscript to Inkshares!
What does this mean? It means that I cannot tinker and putter any longer. It means that however long it takes Inkshares to copyedit it, for me to approve the changes, and then for them to send it to press is how long you’ll wait to have it in your hands. It means that it’s finally happening. This book that seemed like it might never exist is coming. It’s real. It’s happening.
And it feels wonderful.
Thanks to all of you for all you’ve done for me. I’m grateful.
