First of all I want to say a hearty congrats to the top 10 in the Nerdist Space Opera contest. It’s rough to get so close and not get the prize, I’ve been there. Even if you didn’t win, I want you to feel proud of how many people rallied around your book. That is your real success.

I just received my 198th follower for DHM, and that is super amazing to me. I am here to ask you a favor though. There are about 60 of you that have yet to preorder the book -- and we are coincidentally 68 orders from our first funding goal. I would like to get your feedback as to why you haven’t yet pulled the trigger on ordering the book. Please email me at amanda@goldleafbooks.com and let me know why.  If there is something more I can do to convince all the followers of this book to back it, I want to do it.

I for my part am on the last scene of Chapter three. This is a major set piece, so it’s taking me a while, but I will give you a clue as to the location:

and Ooh so intriguing!

I am hoping to have this last scene done by the end of the week, which means I will have a third chapter to share with you soon.  Like mega soon.

Anyway, have a great Wednesday and I’ll talk to you soon. Like mega soon.
