Good morning, afternoon, or evening (just covering my bases). I have returned to the land of blogging and am excited to write this post. It might just be the coffee flowing through my veins as I sit at the coffee shop I so love (Cartel Roasting Co. in Tucson, AZ, come check it out, seriously), or it could be a sudden burst of inspiration from… uh… nope, coffee is all I’ve got to explain it. What gets you guys writing? Does the coffee stop the yawning long enough for your eyes to focus on the page, too, as it does me? Let me know in the comments.

In other news, the Kickstarter is live! Check out “The Shards of Arthur’s Shield” on Kickstarter today by clicking here (or on the picture to the right) and clicking the link you find on that page. The most expensive option is less than a triple-A game. This is all about building trust and hype, so tell your friends and “Trust me on this.”

I will be posting a progress update today, too, as it is the first Tuesday of the month. But know that the book is nearly finished. I will be doing one last read through with the notes from my editor in mind during the first half of March and will finalize the formatting by the end of march and I should have author copies in my hands sometime in April! I still can’t believe this is real, can you? I am finishing the rough draft of the Epilogue today, called “Jonathan’s Rest.” It is a heavy-hearted short story with which the story of Thomas will conclude and allude to what is coming in December this year ;).
