Hello, friends!

A quick one to thank the 105 individual readers, including the three syndicates and those of you who have ordered multiple copies, who have helped the campaign go as far as it’s gone. You guys are awesome, this is more of anything than I’ve ever sold in my creative life, and I appreciate each and every one of you.

My strategy, such as it is, was to see if the project would gain traction organically. It’s been a fun experiment and a definite learning experience, but unless I sell 114 preorders in the next ten days, Devil’s Call is not going to make it to Quill.

I’m doing what I can this last week and a half, but my real hope is that after reading this you, dear reader, will go on Twitter or Facebook or whatever the kids are using these days and tell a friend or three how excited you are about this project.

It takes 30 seconds to say, "Hey, there’s a really great genre-bending novel fundraising on Inkshares, it was written by an independent author, she’s halfway to her goal but has ten days left to reach it, it’s only $10 to preorder a copy and support diversity in literature," plus then you get the satisfaction of one day telling your friends how you backed the hell out of a project that didn’t look like it was going to make it and now look at it, all grown up and selling its own copies.
