PREORDERS ARE OPEN NOW!

So the campaign is going to run for 115 days, from when you get this, but that’s no reason to wait! Battle Flag is also entered in the Nerdist contest, which ends on June 27th, so get your orders in early to help bump the book into the top 3. It’s a good chance to make a minor miracle happen.

I’ve helped out a lot of authors here in the past, as much as I can afford to, and could use a little help now. If this campaign fails to fund, or place in the contest, I’m likely to give up on Inkshares for getting it published and may turn to some other resource, or just let it sit around for a few years until I can achieve a little success with another project and spend some of that success on this. But that also means that my bigger plans for the series will probably not happen either, at least not to the level I had planned.

The next 20 days are critical to shift the odds a bit, so please at least pick up an E-Book even if you never intend to read it.

As a little motivation to get things going: If the book pushes into the top 3 for the contest I’ll release a short story that chronicles an important bit of Ramirov’s past. If the book places in the top 3 or funds to the 250 or 750 levels, I will draw one contributor, who is not a family or friend, who will be given the chance to rename one of the ships in The Road To Hell before it goes to publication. I’m not gonna lie, it won’t be a major ship because the editing requirements for say renaming the Rampart would be a nightmare, but I have one in mind and it will be notable. However, anyone who orders who wants to chime in on a character or ship name I will happily consider it and quite possibly use it in a future book in the series. But if the campaign fails all these lines of communicating ideas may dry up, because I’ll be too busy chasing new agents or promoting the book through something Amazon or Createspace.

So please, please, go grab a copy now!

Thanks for riding along with me.
