WE’RE NUMBER THREE! After nearly three months of crowd-funding, pre-orders, and silly GIFs, SORCERY FOR BEGINNERS is within striking distance of FULL MARKETING & PUBLISHING SUPPORT from Inkshares!

(Sorry, I couldn’t resist one more silly GIF.) We had a lot of great things happen at Inkshares during this campaign — we hit guaranteed e-publication at 250 pre-orders, we finished 8th in the Geek and Sundry contest, we were picked for Gary Whitta’s syndicate, and we were chosen out of thousands of projects for The List. 

But finishing at #3 on The List will really take us to the next level. Not only will Inkshares be involved with every aspect of production, including editing, cover design, and layout, but they will also put a full marketing team behind the book. SORCERY FOR BEGINNERS will be available at bookstores and conventions. It will be reviewed by major publications, both web and print-based. It will have its very own ISBN. It will be, in every respect, A REAL BOOK. 

But first, there’s ONE MORE DAY of crowd-funding. You will still be able to pre-order the book, or buy it in stores next fall, but the funding incentives will disapparate like so many Hogwarts sixth years. 

Only people who purchase within the next 24 hours will get a signed copy, the Codex Arcanum bookmark, and their name in the novel’s acknowledgments. But just to sweeten the deal …

Once funding closes, I will name ONE CHARACTER in SORCERY FOR BEGINNERS after a randomly-selected pre-orderer! (Or I’ll give the character a name of your choosing. (Within reason.)) That means if you haven’t ordered yet, you have 24 hours to take part. Only one of you will live on in literary infamy, but as my dad always says, “You can’t win if you don’t play.”

Thanks again for all your support. One day more!
