Hey Party People,

The fun book launch activities continue to roll. I’ve got a couple guest spots on podcasts coming in the next few weeks. I’ll update you more on that later... but today I wanted to direct your attention to the lovely folks over at Fanbase Press. A few weeks back, one of their critics posted this kind review of good ol’ Space Tripping:

I reached out to them and said "Thank you." Well, the site’s founder and I got to chit chatting and we decided to do a short interview for the site. It got posted today and you can check it out.....here:

Bye all my buddies!

March is over, and it was incredibly busy but rewarding. Work on Human Resources has continued at pace, with an important milestone being achieved.

Developmental Edit
I’ve been working with my developmental editor to turn the draft manuscript into something that will truly shine. It’s been hard work, but during the last month we reached an important milestone — we finished work on the change plan (completed the new outline) and I have now started the rewrite. I wrote a blog about the developmental edit process and reaching this milestone on my website. I’m now flat out writing every night, preparing a new version of the manuscript. There are numerous new scenes, a lot of changes to existing scenes, and writing them will progress at an uneven rate (as a general rule, new scenes will take much longer to write than updating an existing scene). However, I’ll keep you informed (and myself on the hook) by reporting progress as I go! The chart below shows the current status of the rewrite.



Cover design
Work is commencing on the new cover design! Inkshares have an amazing cover designer working on this for me. Right now he’s gathering information before producing concepts to work through. 

Schedule
We don’t have a firm production schedule for the book — this stage of the editing process is just too fluid. What I can tell you is it should be sometime (early) in 2018. It is unlikely to be January at this stage, but I hope we’ll get everything in order to get the book out during the first quarter. I’ll keep everyone informed as we progress — the further along the process we get, the more reliable the predicted release date will become.

Say hello!

Hello everyone!

It has been a pretty long time since I made an update. January hit and life sort of exploded. I changed jobs to one with a ton of responsibilities and have been put on various committees that require a lot of brain power, I moved to a different state, went on a vacation, and a host of other exciting, and not so exciting life events have happened. Most recently, finding out my dad has cancer. Thankfully, it is curable. 

Now that life is finally settling into a rhythm I can manage, I’m going to work on collecting the address of everyone who qualified for a giveaway. I’d like to get those out to you by the end of spring. 

The book is going through the last round of beta reading. I’m terribly sorry, I’ve forgotten who all asked to help beta it. If you were someone who was interested, you can shoot me a DM. But, it is definitely crunch time. Inkshares is ready for the manuscript, so I’d like to get it to them by the end of May. It is a personal goal that I’m going to try my best to achieve. From the moment I pass it off to them, I think it is estimated that it could take six months to produce. Maybe, if we are lucky, you guys will get it at the end of the year? 

I’ve already started work on book two. As I mentioned in previous updates, these books were already written, but are undergoing serious rewrites. The ideas are there, I’ve just got to get them down and down right. 

Again, thank you for your support!

Hello friends,

You purchased my book, The Loving Wrath of Eldon Quint, and I wanted to update you on my progress.

In two months, I will send my manuscript to the publisher, Inkshares. They will assign an editor to help me make the book better. Then, one or two more editors will come aboard and help make the book even better. While that’s happening, someone will design artwork for the book cover. This whole process takes about 9-12 months from beginning to end. So sometime in early 2018 you can expect to receive your book or e-book.

That may sound like a long time to wait for something you already paid for. But there’s that saying, ’good things come to those who wait’, and hopefully it will apply to this book.

Once more, thank you for your support and your patience. 

Much Gratitude,

Chase
