Hi everyone and happy Friday evening! I hope yours is going swell, whether you're waiting in line for Star Wars or hanging at home in your PJs.
DAX COUNTDOWN: 8 days remaining, 38 orders to publishing!!!
First off, another quick thank you to everyone (as always). The support from friends, family and my fellow authors has grown even more as the deadline approaches. It's wonderful. You're all wonderful. I am a puddle of fuzzy feelings.
...*ahem* I mean, um, manly. Very manly feelings of appreciation. *hearty handshake*
Now, a couple details I forgot to mention about tomorrow's Review-A-Thon event:
What's on the schedule? Live author interviews, Q & A's, AND (here's the part I forgot to mention before): A live reading from the original screenplay/first draft of
DAX HARRISON!
Yes! We are going to read through an action-and-goofs-packed scene from the book! Naturally, we have not rehearsed this in the slightest, and it is sure to be ridiculous, nonsensical, and plenty of fun. Don't miss it!
The rest of the details for tomorrow's event (including prize giveaways) can be found at my previous update,
HERE.
And finally, I would like to take a minute and shout-out to several of my fellow Inkshares authors, who have not only graciously helped spread the word of Dax at one point or another, but also have amazing projects of their own that deserve your support! Some have already successfully begun production, and many still need your help to get there! Please consider all of these fine folks for your reviews tomorrow, and/or support their projects if you can spare the cash (or if you have some lovely Inkshares credits to use).
This is by no means a complete list of everyone who has helped me out on this journey, nor a complete list of the amazing books currently funding on Inkshares, but I'll be sure to highlight some more folks another time. :)

Cheers!
