Chapter 3 is now up!
However, in the process, I accidentally nuked chapter 1 and lost all those nice comments people left. You would think I would know how computers work, because, you know, I fix them for a living. Fear not, I have re-uploaded the first chapter so you can read the first three chapters in succession..almost LIKE A REAL BOOK! (science is amazing)
Anyways, in addition to having a whole new chapter to read, I have another annoucement to make! For everyone that pre-orders the book while the funding period is in effect, I’m offering you a nifty magnet of the awesome cover art! I only had 250 of these things made (gee, why would I pick that number?), so everyone who has already pre-ordered is eligible to get one for every copy they snagged. I will be reaching out to all my readers personally to get shipping info. I should have the magnets ready to go out by next week! If you don’t want one (or are allergic to magnets), that’s fine, I’ll still love you and hope to do another bigger giveway once we get closer to Quill.
And we will, I know we will. Spread the word! Feedback on the uploaded chapters would also be shiny and as always, thanks for all the support!

Chapter Three (Benjamin, Age 28)
And then we were out on the street, walking briskly through the narrow Paris streets. Pretty much every building in the whole neighborhood was white. Maybe the cafe in the bottom floor was painted a different color, but there was a lot of white, including the giant cathedral on the hill.
“It’s called La Basilique du Sacré Cœur, Benjamin. Perhaps later, we can walk up the steps and get a caricature drawn,” Camille said when I. . .
I know everyone is tired of hearing me say thank you, but honestly there’s no way to say it enough. Right now we’re at 146 readers of The Sleeping Man, and every single time that number goes up it makes me work all the harder reviewing books and supporting the Inkshares community. My goal remains the same, 250 readers of The Sleeping Man. As you may or may not know, once the number 250 is reached I will open the pre-orders so that when every reader orders one book it will be published.
Thank you to those who have recommended, shared on Twitter/Facebook, and sent the link to friends and family. It means the world to me.
Sweet Dreams,

A terrible new villain comes into the fold in today’s Chapter 32: Gates of Paradise Lost. Who is this evil half man, half machine?

You’ve read and/or heard my pitch, and maybe it can be too general at times. Luckily, Jamison Stone, author of Rune of the Apprentice (coming in November) and Inkshares extraordinaire, allowed me to write a guest post on his blog. I am honored he asked, and you can read it here:
There’s a lot of material there that would never fit on my Inkshares page, and it’s probably the most specific I’ve ever been about what has driven my writing. I hope you enjoy.
Happy dreams to you all.
