Greetings Crow’s Gambit Supporters!
I have good news and not as good news. Last night I submitted the completed draft of Crow’s Gambit, along with all the other front and back matter, to Inkshares. I am sincerely sorry for the procrastination and the obsessive nitpicking that has delayed you getting your book. That said, Inkshares won’t be able to start working on it for at least three months.
While you wait I will be getting you some Crow’s Gambit tidbits; the Crow Research prospectus and employee manual you have been promised, as well as some tidbits from the second book, Crow’s Haven.
In the meantime, if you are in the mood, check out the short story I submitted last week to the Reedsy Short Story Contest called "Accident on the Waterloo". For those who are familiar with my other book on Inkshares, Fortunes of the Space Sloth, this story takes place in the same universe. (click here to read the story)
As always, thank you for your support.

Supporters of Crow’s Gambit...hmm, supporters sounds so formal...
If we used the poetic name for a group of crows would that make you the Murder of Crow’s Gambit? That’s definitely not what I’m going for. The Flock of Crow’s Gambit? Really, I don’t need a flock following me. The horde, hover, muster, or parcel of Crow’s Gambit?
Maybe we should look at synonyms for supporters instead. The Apologists of Crow’s Gambit? Noooo. The Crusaders of Crow’s Gambit? I don’t think there’s enough support here to really call this a "crusade" yet. Champions of Crow’s Gambit? Hmm...maybe.
Regardless thank you for helping make Crow’s Gambit a reality. However, we are not there yet. We need more crows. Please keep sharing information about the story and if you are fence sitting, come one...it’s the holidays. You know you want to give me a Pre-Order gift.
For those wondering if Santa made it past the Sylph...well, we don’t know. I have been feeling under the weather during the holidays and to be honest, no one voted. If there had been one vote cast either way I would have pushed something out. Guess we’ll have to wait until next year to find out.
Happy holidays!
