Hey!  Happy Friday!  Wasn’t going to post until the book was in your hands, but there may be a very short delay in the production schedule so just to let you know delivery date should be by August 1 latest on physical books. It will be earlier than that for those who ordered eBooks -- they should arrive on schedule for download.  Stay tuned -- also because I’m working on a longer update where I thank profusely everybody involved in making Women Like Us a reality but I just don’t have that ready yet.

In the meantime, marketing efforts have kept me insanely busy. Looks like the book will be on shelves at Vroman’s Bookstore in Pasadena, Book Soup in West Hollywood, and Skylight Books in Los Feliz. Hoping to get some more stores on board.  The book will also appear on the book shelf of the blog Chicklit Central, and I’ve done a guest blog post for Fiction Dreams.  Here are links to both blogs.

It won’t show up on Chicklit Central until about November, but that’s no problem because the holidays are great for book buying.  A third and possibly fourth guest blog post are in the works too, and there might even be more after that. Phew!!

That’s it for now. Sit tight -- books coming very soon. Of course once it’s out there, I’ll be asking everybody to go to the Amazon page for the book and leave a brief review and however many stars you feel you want to give (5 right?). The number of Amazon reviews is critical for boosting sales, but more on that later.

Hope you all every a terrific weekend, and Happy Reading!

Greetings wonderful people! Long time no update.

Yes I’m still technically alive.No I haven’t fallen into some kind of crazy worm hole. I’ve just been editing up a storm. Busy busy busy! And now I think I’ve done all I can. Now I need your help. I want to get some beta readers to help really make this book shine. If you want to put your input into Beyond the Codes final product drop me a line with any of the following

Hey everyone,

First off, let me just say THANK YOU to each and every one of you that have been following my project this whole time and/or pre-ordered a copy. I might not have won the contest, but I REACHED QUILL (yay!!!). I am going to be a published author and you’ll all get to read this story which is incredible to me!! I never imagined that this campaign would be as successful as it was and for that I am greatly humbled so thank you for making my dream come true.

I also want to say congratulations to the Inkvengers (Too Many Controllers), Prescott Harvey (In Beta), and Peter Ryan (Destiny Imperfect) for running excellent campaigns as well. If you haven’t yet go visit their page and pre-order a copy of their novels! Now that the contest is over I can relax and enjoy the other wonderful works on Inkshares. 

Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going chill by the pool in this dreadful Texas heat. Until next time, cheers!!!!

Hey everyone!!

I know I said I wouldn’t send anymore updates but.....I would really like to reach the Top 3 in the Nerdist contest. I’m only 8 readers away from 3rd and so with less than 16 hours left in the contest every pre-order helps! 

I’ve worked so hard on this story and as a black, female author I want nothing more than to increase diversity in the literary world. With this gamer girl novel, I hope to shed light on the lady gamers out there and show my true passion for writing. By hitting that lovely green button you’re not only supporting my project but bringing me one step closer to a lifelong dream. Once again, I ask those who haven’t pre-ordered yet to take a chance and invest in a gamer girl story with dragons and video gaming. 

No matter the outcome, I will be proud with how successful this campaign has been and I won’t stop until this story is published. 

Thank you for following me and have a good night!

Dear Friends

There are only 24 hours left to get a signed copy of Too Many Controllers, the anthology that I’m part of with another 14 talented authors.

As I have told you before, this anthology is participating in the current Nerdist contest. We are in first place, and we want to stay there, so I need you to order a copy right now.

Too Many Controllers is a collection of fifteen short stories across genres, time and realities connected by one theme: video games. We all love video games, or know someone who does, so there are no excuses not to get it.

Order here.

Also, this collection is pokemon free, and I know many of you will appreciate that!

Have a fantastic day

 Yup, here we are; the last day of the Nerdist Video Game Contest. 

If you haven’t heard, I’m participating with 14 other extremely talented writers in an anthology that you can pre-order now. I feel privileged to part of this group of fantastic artists and I believe you will be impressed with what they have to offer. However, if you’re looking to be part of the action. If you want to get a signed copy with whatever other bonuses we throw in. If you’re the kind of person who likes to point at cool things and say "I was a part of this.", then you better hurry my friends. July 15th at 3pm EST, the contest is over. 

We want to finish with a bang. You want to be part of the action. So follow this link and get yourself this 1-Up of a book. It’s your last chance. There are no save points. 

Back to Arch-Android content soon...

As a side note: How did we not name the e-reader level ’DLC’ for our campaign?
