Boulderoleros!

Quick update.  There seems to be a theme running through my book and the histories of unlikely heroes killing giant scary animals.  I happens with this scrawny little prince and Raxas the Lion who lives in the Sacred Grove of Santana and then a couple thousand years later it happens with a little girl who kills a GIANT shark all by her skinny little like eight year old self.  Hm!  More on that as I get further into the stuff.

ESE!

Good morning - or afternoon to some of you!

Really a splendid morning... We have reached 40 readers (41 to be exact), and that's fantastic. You know what they say... slow and steady wins the race, or maybe in this case, finishes second?? We'd take that too.

It also means we will be having another raffle. This time for an illustrated and framed copy of my poem "Bound in Earth." I will circle back with the results for that lucky person as soon as I manage to cut up 40 little pieces of paper and find a baseball hat to stick them in.

Two more quick points: 

First, as a reminder, I am encouraging those fence sitters to hop on down and join the fun. At the moment we have 92 followers who are receiving this update, and only 41 readers. I'm a writer not a mathematician, but I believe that leaves in excess of 50 followers who can still pre-order and bump us up the standings. The next ten pre-orders from existing followers will all receive a signed piece of cover art for The Last Machine! So please do come off that high fence!

Lastly, only 9 readers away from the special 50th reader raffle for Rudyard Kipling's Mine Own People. The book is super old. Like older than anybody on the planet (well, maybe). That's next...

Thanks again for all the amazing support!

Hey guys! Wow! Look at all you new followers and Readers! Thank you so much for being a part of this. We're working to get you guys a couple more chapters this week until then enjoy some more original art from our Universe!

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.
