Byron Gillan's latest update for The Children of the Forest

Dec 27, 2015

Hello all of you lovely readers and followers out there! I hope everyone's holidays have been as enjoyable as mine, and now that I've cleared the copious banquets of never-ending food and drink, I've returned to oversee work on The Children of the Forest as we enter the final weeks of the 2nd Sword & Laser contest! 

Right now, the book is sitting on 3rd place, but with so much time left, that could easily change! Local fundraising has been going strong, but I've unfortunately not extended the same oversight to my followers online and elsewhere. I'd like to remind everyone who has yet to pre-order a copy of the story that the book is still part of my "Amazon Gift-Card Raffle" which entitles one lucky winner to a $250.00 gift card to Amazon, with the drawing to be held on the 15th of January. Every purchase of one or more copies of my book enters you for a chance to win this wonderful prize! 

My current goal for the book is to clear 100 unique sales before the end of the contest. I think is more than doable, but it requires everyone who is the following the book, but has yet to purchase a copy, to pre-order now! I've recently updated the page with several new chapters, edits, and descriptions, so go over and give the page and the samples a look, and lend me your support so we can guarantee The Children of the Forest a publishing deal! 

Finally, in the next week I will be featured on television as a guest for the incredible show, "Off Beat Cinema!"   http://www.offbeatcinema.tv

The interview will be posted on the book page following its airing, and hopefully everyone will enjoy getting to hear/see me discuss some aspects of the contest, writing in general, and the book! 

I hope everyone has a great and safe time celebrating the New Year!
