Shannon Saldin's latest update for Sweet Torture

Dec 18, 2015

Hello everyone! Happy Friday!

So… I know… once again a lack of updates. Sadly, I had a lot of really bad personal stuff happen all at once, so my writing sort of went to the wayside… With the holidays almost over, though, and things settling down in my personal life, hopeful I can get back to campaigning. I need to take a page from Tony Valdez's book, because he is really good at it! Go check out his book (Dax Sheppard)… He is so close to meeting his goal and his book is pretty awesome (as a personal friend of his, I have basically read the whole thing and I loved it!) 

So anyways, if you have not heard about the review-a-thon tomorrow, here is some info about it:

On December 19th, all authors and readers are invited to leave reviews on currently funding Inkshares books using the Inkshares "leave a review" option. 

 Throughout the day we'll be hanging out on Twitter in the #InksharesReviews tag as we share our favorite book projects, answer author Q&As, debate the merits of astronauts with swords versus cavemen with lasers, and more! 

Then, from 3 - 5pm PST (6 - 8pm Eastern), JF Dubeau and Paul Inman of the WriteBrain Podcast will be hosting a video livestream filled with author interviews, review readings, and live announcements of prize winners! 

Prizes?!?! Everyone who leaves a review on December 19th by 3pm PST (6pm Eastern) will be eligible to win one of our fantastic general prizes: 

Sword & Laser Contest Winners Package - print copies of the six winning books from the Sword & Laser Inkshares contest! 

Nerdist Contest Winners Package - print copies of the five winning books from the Nerdist Inkshares contest! An immediate pre-order of the book of their choice for five winners! $30 in Inkshares credits! 

Readers: Peruse the "currently funding" books on Inkshares and leave as many reviews as you want on Dec 19th. You could even start up a "must-have" list of books to order in case you win a free pre-order or the $30 in credits! 

 Authors: Join our review exchange to leave three reviews in exchange for two guaranteed reviews on your Inkshares project and a chance at author-exclusive prizes! Email AC Weston at cara.c.weston@gmail.com to learn more and get on the list.


So everyone have fun tomorrow leaving reviews up the wazoo! =D Any reviews on my book would be great and I will do my best to return the favor! I should have an hour or two of free time tomorrow morning, so I will see what I can do!

As always, thanks everyone for all the support and patience! I love all my followers and am working on Chapter 3, so when I get 10 more followers, I will post the next chapter!

PS. I have 48 days left! Because of everything that has been happening, I don't know if I am put enough effort to get to my publishing goal, but any little bit helps! So if you like my story so far, spread the word!

Thanks everyone! Much love and happy holidays!!
