Dearest readers and followers, alike. Jeremy Thomas, the CEO of Inkshares, sent out some good news this morning: they are restructuring how they handle manuscripts up for publication ... and those changes greatly benefit Disintegration.

The minimum threshold for "light-publication" is now 250 copies. Currently, we've sold 363. That means, come 10/30, Disintegration will receive the following: inclusion in a new, yet-to-be-named Inkshares collection; a light edit; an ISBN; limited distribution  (including physical and digital on Amazon.com). Readers, you made this happen; your support in the contest was immense. Thank you.

As a result, if you've pre-ordered already, you'll receive a physical copy (or copies) of Disintegration, printed through Inkshares' print-on-demand service.

This is great, huh? Well, it gets better.

Now, the full-funding threshold is 750 copies, down from 1,000. That means we're almost halfway there! The one catch is that, on 10/30, the price of a pre-order will rise from $10 to $20, so you still have a week to get on board at the $10 price and get all of the goodness I've already mentioned, above. For the next seven days, you can still play a significant role in bringing this story to hard-cover life for a relatively insignificant price! Think about being able to tell folks: "Yeah, I helped publish this book." (How cool are you, right? :) )

If my book makes the 750 mark, I'll receive a trip to San Francisco to sign copies for you and to have lunch with the Inkshares team. Exciting! Also, I've got one of those wacky signatures that looks nothing like my name, so it'll look great on your copy of Disintegration when you show it off to people. ;)

Please, if you haven't gotten on board yet, come along now and embark on a great sci-fi adventure with deep character exploration. If you love immersive fiction and multi-dimensional characters, you will love this book, even if sci-fi isn't your genre.

Leeloo would also like you to "Please help." How could you say no to Milla Jovovich? :)
