Hello Readers!

I wanted to drop in and give a quick update on Welcome to Deadland! I've had the pleasure of meeting my Production Editor from Girl Friday Productions, as well as my Developmental Editor. We're diving in headfirst, and the next few months are going to be a whirlwind of hard work and collaboration until Deadland is poked and prodded into perfect shape. Stay on the lookout for updates as we continue to progress further toward the finish line!

As some of you already know, Inkshares and Sword & Laser are currently hosting another contest, and I highly recommend The Animal in Man by Joseph Asphahani. I've placed my pre-order and I encourage my readers to check it out and do the same. 

Also:

Get ready for the inaugural Inkshares Review-a-Thon, an independent event, organized by Inkshares authors! 

 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 much, much more! 

 From 6 - 8pm ET, JF Dubeau and Paul ‘such a nerd’ Inman will be hosting a Google+ Hangout livestream filled with author interviews, review readings, and live announcements of prize winners! 

Everyone who leaves a review on December 19th by 6pm ET will be eligible to win 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. 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!
