Good morning!

I know you’re all eager to get your hands on “Shadow King” (I had two people at my office yesterday ask when they were getting their copies!).  "Shadow King" continues to wait in the Inksahres queue for the editor, along with several other books. As soon as I have news about release dates, I’ll let you know right away.

In other news... as you know from previous updates I did go ahead and enter another manuscript into the 2017 Launchpad Manuscript Competition (because I’m crazy like that).

I found out Tuesday that “The Devil You Don’t” has made the first cut and been named to the Top 75 list! 

So, what does this mean? It means I still have a long way to go to get from Top 75 to (hopefully) Top 10 and beyond.

I can, however, start to crowdfund for the Inkshares portion of Launchpad 2017 on August 28.

Many of you showed a tremendous amount of generosity and support last year for “Shadow King” and it wouldn’t be waiting for the editor now without each and every one of you.

I am, however, painfully aware that asking for your support for a second book when the first doesn’t even have a release date yet is a BIG ASK. But I’m going to ask anyway, and I hope that you’ll all be as enthusiastic about “Devil You Don’t” as you are about “Shadow King.”

I’ll be sending another update next week with details about when I’ll be opening the new manuscript for funding, key dates, and a list of raffle-type giveaways that I have planned for different pre-order milestones. In the meantime, you can see a synopsis of “Devil” on my Inkshares page (preview chapters coming soon!): www.inkshares.com/books/the-devil-you-don-t

We made it to 5th last year -- and I know getting into the Top Three is totally achievable this year!

Best,
Susan
