Hello humans,
Just a quick update - I'm still very much a corporeal being in this reality, rumors of my untimely dematerialization have been greatly exaggerated.
So, I've finished revising character sheets, which can be fun and a chore at the same time (especially when you just want to get stuck back into the writing). No only do I better understand my characters, I also know a lot more about the world/galaxy/universe I'm building (sci-fi is BIG). As a result, I have begun tweaking Genesis to include these new developments, which I think will make the story more interesting.
Those of you with writing experience know that this is the reverse method, especially for someone who had very little exposure to fiction writing. My consolation is that I didn't succumb to world-builder's disease. Haha. Anyway, I've begun first pass author-edits on Chapters 3 and beyond and hope to get a second pass editing soon after.
To those of you who have $5 credit from pre-ordering before the 31st Oct 2015, here's how you can further assit me by pre-ordering the e-book for FREE:
Live long and prosper!
P/S: Congratulations to the winners of the Sword & Laser sequel contest! Matt, I knew you could do it! Well done!
Wow, Sensationnel, 와우, 哇, Beeindruckend, ワオ, வாவ், Guau!
First, a huge ACKNOWLEDGEMENT to my fellow inksharesians - A.C. Weston (She is the End), J.F. Dubeau (The Life Engineered), Paul Inman (Ageless), John Robin (I have probably left out a few important people, and while I shudder to lump you into 'everyone else', it is out of pure necessity... and thus, please accept my sincere apologies) and everyone else who had been working tirelessly behind the scenes to make this inaugural review-a-thon a success! Give yourself a pat on the back (even if you just shared on facebook or tweeted)!
Also, congratulations to all the winners! Yes, that's everyone, not just the prize winners!
Special thank-yous Jamison Stone (Rune of the Apprentice), John Robin (Blood Dawn) and Joseph Asphahani (The Animal in Man) for reviewing Genesis. You humble me, my fellow story-tellers!
Lastly, to all my supporters - past, present and future, thank you for sharing this very eventful journey with me. Genesis is still far from being complete, but I solemnly swear that I will work as hard as I possibly could, in the next 77 days, to tell you my story in the best way possible!
So, to everyone...
Greetings inhabitants of Sol-3!
I am pleased to announce that the long-awaited Chapter 1 is up and ready for your reading pleasure!
Thanks to my hard-working editor, Tyler, for his tireless efforts in helping me whip this collection of jumbled words and ideas into a cohesive flowing story. Also, to my wife who has been so patient with me while I've stayed up most nights tapping away on the keyboard.
I will be sending this chapter out shortly from within inkshares, but those of you who are keen can go to: https://www.inkshares.com/projects/the-cora-chronicles-genesis-0162/book_segments/chapter-1-4493
Please leave comments/feedback and by all means, criticism as well. Do remember that it's still a work-in-progress until I reach my funding deadline.
Oh, and if you still haven't found out about my amazing watch-giveaway, please head over to my facebook page for more details: https://www.facebook.com/theCoraChronicles

Humans,
This has been a hectic week:
Yeah, I'm back in serious contention! For all you people who haven't bought a copy, really, it's AFFORDABLE again. Once again, I'm imploring all my backers, all 237 of you to help me get 1 more reader... 1, it's not difficult. I'm sure you have at least one friend you are still on good terms with (right?)... that person might be a colleague, a family member, the lady with the cats, anyone really. Anyone. You've got me this far, but you can get me further.
So, let's all get out there and recruit at least another Humani, so together, we can make this book the best it can be!
