Dear Friends
My editor Penny-Lane and I want to wish you all a Happy Holidays.
Thank you for your support, for your words of encouragement, and for making 2015 one of the best years of my life.
This year I did two big things: I ran the New York City Marathon, and I wrote a novel. It would be easy to pat my back and congratulate myself for such achievements, but the truth is that the blood, sweat and tears that took to achieve those two things were not only mine.
There were so many people cheering for me every time I reached a milestone; there were so many friends and family picking me up when I fell and thought I couldn’t keep going. There was all of you, who took a chance on my book and helped me reach my funding goal.
If I learned anything this year is that hard-work is not all it takes to achieve big dreams; a support system, a network of love is what make dreams come true.
So once again: Thank You All!
It wouldn’t be a proper end of the year update without a quote from the wisest man in the universe:
“There’s a lot of things you need to get across this universe. Warp drive… wormhole refractors… You know the thing you need most of all? You need a hand to hold.”
The Tenth Doctor, Fear Her.
Hey friends!
Did everyone have a great Saturday? I did! I was running back and forth between participating in the Inkshares Review-A-Thon, running errands, and deep cleaning the apartment for an ugly sweater Christmas party!
Needless to say, it was a busy day. But a fun one! And unfortunately, I didn't get to leave nearly as many reviews for my fellow authors as I wanted to, so I will most definitely be making up for that this week.

I DID however join in for JF Dubeau & Paul Inman's livestream broadcast. Many thanks to them, the other participating authors, and a massive thanks to A.C. Weston as well, the overworked mastermind behind this amazing event. You can watch the full video HERE. The Dax Harrison live-reading antics begin around 51:00, but I encourage you to watch the full stream if you have a chance. There are some great interviews with multiple authors and Inkshares co-founder Adam Gomolin!
I have yet to watch the replay of the live-reading myself, but apparently we must have done something right! Dax scored 12 more orders yesterday, and 4 today! I also took the opportunity last night to bug a few folks at the Christmas party. *mwah ha ha ha!*
Let's take a look at the countdown: 6 days left, 22 orders to go!
Oh, we've got this. We've SO got this! There's some more good stuff brewing at Camp Dax for this final week. Stay tuned!

P.S.: I know I'm a bit behind on the latest mug giveaways. After this final push, I will get caught up, probably in one big grand finale video. See ya soon! :)
Hello Friends:
Even though The Catcher’s Trap is some months away from reaching your hands, my brain can’t stop thinking about the second book.
I just came back from an inspirational trip to my homeland (Chile), and I am full of ideas, words, descriptions, and characters for the sequel.
The Atacama Desert is a beautiful and enchanting place. Salt valleys mix with ghost towns and oases in the driest place on Earth (google it, it is true). It is a world like no other I can assure you.
I wanted to share a couple of pictures with you, so when you read the second book (my ego is positive that after I blow your mind with The Catcher’s Trap, you will be eager to do so), you have an idea of what I am talking about.
By the way, the second book has a tentative name already, but I cannot tell you because it would be a huge spoiler to the ending of The Catcher's Trap.
I hope you like the pictures…
As always if you haven’t got your copy of The Catcher’s Trap go ahead and do it, support your indie author.
