Hello again everyone!  This is Daniel, author of the picture book, The Two Stegosauruses!  Thank you so much for expressing interest in my book about socially awkward dinosaurs that fall in love.  I know it’s been a long time without an update, but I’ve been very busy I promise!  I have some very exciting news.

I’m contacting all of my readers on Inkshares, including you of course, to let you guys know that the book is finally available for preorder.  Yes you heard me right, you can order it right now!  It’s finally ready!  Over the past year I have been hammering out contract and publishing details with the owner of Tubby & Coo’s, the head of the imprint I was part of here on Inkshares.  We’ve decided to do it our way and publish our imprint directly through the bookstore rather than through Inkshares.  This is great news, because not only do I get to keep the rights of my book as an author, but my really fantastic neighborhood bookstore will also get to more directly have a hand in marketing and promoting the book.  This is a win/win for everyone involved.  

The crowdfunding for the publishing imprint, including my book, started this week and we have already raised over $1500 dollars!  There are also multiple different reward levels with different prizes, including a bonus offer where you can get a speciality colored print made by me.  So please go check it out and consider all the books that are being offered!  Any amount you can contribute will help move the printing process along faster.  I’ve added the link below, but if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.  Thanks so much!!!!

Wow!  It's only been a week since I first put up the draft of The Two Stegosauruses, and the response has been amazing!  As I am writing this, the project is one of the top trending books on Inkshares.  My phone wouldn't stop buzzing with notifications yesterday!  Thank you so much to everyone who has followed me and my book. I'm glad that there is something in The Two Stegosauruses that is resonating with you.   And a HUGE thank you to those who have recommended the book to their followers or friends and have sent me such nice comments and reviews.  As an artist it's easy to get lost in the vacuum of your own concerned opinions during the creative process, and to hear all of your kind words really helps me to remember that this is a project worth pursuing.

I am currently redrawing some lines on a few pages that I felt weren't clean enough for the finished product.  I'm not ready to start selling preorders just yet, but please keep your eye out for that announcement soon.  I don't know if it's possible, but it would be great if we could get The Two Stegosauruses fully funded and ready to be published before Valentine's Day, as I think it's a pretty great gift to give to a significant other.

Again, if you have any questions or concerns about the current state of the book, just let me know on the project page.  And if you know anyone else, on Inkshares or otherwise, that might enjoy a book like The Two Stegosauruses  please let them know too!  Every follower helps towards getting this book published.

Thank you,

Daniel
