Chapter 3 has finally arrived! I had every intention of posting it on Wednesday, but two things happened:

1.) I have been extremely busy with "real life" stuff.

2.) I was not content with how Chapter 3 was when I revisited it, so I rewrote most of it, and bumped a lot of the remaining material to Chapter 4.

Both of the items above are great, because it means:

1.) I still kinda have a social life.

2.) I improved something (in my opinion).

Hopefully what you read will be enjoyable, and for those still on the fence, maybe it will convince you to hit that Pre-Order button?

My goal this weekend is to now look at what I want to keep for Chapter 4 and work on filling it back out. It will continue to test Jacob's trust, and will start to set up the introduction to a host of new characters.

You should be carrying a lot of questions right now, and that's good. Even though I am a pantser, I do have answers to all the questions I'm stirring up. I plan on addressing all of them, to some degree (I want to leave at least a little bit of mystery).

Again, please consider a pre-order if you like what you see here, and tell a friend if you think they'd like this novel.

Have a good night, and happy dreaming!

We did it!  We hit 30 readers!  Plus I just got my proof copy of Shadow of the Owl in the mail, so I could show it off!  This is a REALLY good day ya'll.

So let's get to the rafflin'!

Congrats to (online dice roll because there's no D30 in this house) Michael Sebby!  You're the winner of our Giveaway Round Three (I really should come up with a name for this thing.)! You've just won yourself a signed copy of Shadow of the Owl, the sexy beast shown up there.

The next giveaway is at 40 readers, and I'm thinking I'll do something special at 50.  When I taught English the kids always asked for one thing:  A pizza party.  Well, let's see if we can't come up with our own pizza party.  I already have some ideas, but if you want to share your own, feel free.

For now, I have to run to Day Job, but I'll check back in with you all soon!

*High Fives all Around*

We're number 2!  I'm over the moon! I recorded it for posterity because this is a momentous occasion.  I want to stay number 2 for the next month, but I know too much is in flux in this sort of contest, so I'm going to enjoy this present moment and let it energize me for the weeks ahead.  

We are only three orders away from the next round of the Shadow of the Owl giveaway.  I would love to do another raffle today.  Can we get there?  Let's do this!
