Hey everyone! Just a reminder: One more preorder before the Chapter 1 Upload and another comment update featuring Artwork of the characters from the first book!
Let’s not forget that in 6 more preorders there will be a Autographed Book 1 giveaway!
That prologue has me checking my budget to see if I can get your first book now! It normally takes me a couple chapters to get into a book but I’m already wondering what happened before and whats going to happen next.
Here is the first character profile for one of the Bawal Dragon Knights from my story(Concept Art by Hieu Bui):
"The eight knights turned as one. Standing apart from the group was an older man, his stern lines radiating strength, and his hair peppered with silver strands earned through years of pain. He stepped forward, the well-kept black armor barely making a sound as the crimson highlights flashed briefly in the midday sun. The matching half-cape fluttered in the slight breeze, the dragon emblem in its center looking as real as the roaring beasts in the distance. He was known only as Griffen. He had no family, no home, and no history. All anyone knew about the man was that he was the first and foremost among the Bawal Empire’s Dragon Knights."
To reveal much more about Griffen would be to spoil most of what transpires in Chapter 1. Look forward to reading about him and the other Dragon Knights of Bawal once we reach 10 preorders and I upload Chapter 1!
We’ve gotten 3 preorders so far! Bit of a slow start, but I know we’re capable of some pretty explosive numbers in a short time and the contest itself still has quite a while so I know we’ll turn it around and be in the top 10 in no time!
With 3 preorders we’re only 7 away from the Chapter 1 Upload and 12 away from the first signed ASC book giveaway! Pretty exciting stuff that could be happening super early in the contest. I’m trying to make the campaign as fun and engaging as possible, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I would really love to gather up some more recommendations for the story, I know those go a long way to help with preorders so to any of my current preorderers and future preorderers - feel free to also recommend this title to your friends!
Thank you again to everyone for the support!
In going along with the theme of adding more fun, engaging and exciting things to this campaign - I’m going to add a lot of art(done by the amazing Hieu Bui!) throughout the campaign right here in the comments section. If it’s a character I haven’t posted before, I’ll add a brief description of them here as well. For the first picture I’m just going to post an image of the Soldier’s Crest Logo. This logo will be featured on the T-Shirts I’ll hopefully have a chance to giveaway later in the contest.
I mentioned giveaways and unlocks above and I wanted to detail that a little further here. This is what I’m planning:
10 Preorders: Upload of Chapter 1 15 Preorders: One lucky preorderer will receive a signed copy of A Soldier’s Crest. 20 Preorders: Upload of Chapter 2 30 Preorders: Upload of Chapter 3; Another lucky preorderer will receive a signed copy of A Soldier’s Crest. 40 Preorders: Upload of Chapter 4 45 Preorders: Another lucky preorderer will receive a signed copy of A Soldier’s Crest 50 Preorders: Upload of Chapter 5; One lucky preorderer will receive a rare(only 5 or so made) autographed copy of a poster featuring the cover artwork by Hieu Bui for A Soldier’s Crest.
What do you guys think? Do you like this extra incentive to preorder? Let me know in the comments! I’m planning more giveaways and unlocks when we get above 50 preorders, but I’ll wait until we get there first. Don’t want to get ahead of myself lol
Also, please recommend this book to all of your friends and spread the word about the ASC universe!
Let’s not forget that in 6 more preorders there will be a Autographed Book 1 giveaway!
