Congratulations on pre-order 100! I'd like to see your book in the top 5 at the end.

Well, that was quick! But don't stop now -- take us all the way to the Top 5! Thank you from the bottom of our very humble hearts!

Our gratitude to all of you who have supported us this far knows no bounds. We're still hanging in there. We're only 2 short of 100 Readers with 121 books pre-ordered and 128 Followers.

But we need more help to put us back in the Top 5. If you follow ENHANCED but haven't yet pre-ordered, please do. And please spread the word.

We revised our "About ENHANCED" section. We came out. We are free.

We just reached a Milestone! Pre-order 100! Thank you all for your dedicated support. Keep spreading the word and ENHANCED will surely finish in the Top 5!

The roller coaster goes up, but it also goes down.

Right now, we need a big push to get back in the Top 5. That's where we must be if Inkshares is going to publish ENHANCED.

Unique among the Top 10, our Young Adult SciFi provides diverse roll models for kids outside the Mainstream who may never see themselves in any strong protagonist in literature of any genre.

And we do it without guns, without magic, without Zombies.

If you believe ENHANCED deserves to be published, please share us with your family and friends to increase our chances of finishing in the Top 5.

Be our Cheerleading Advanced Team. Spread the word.

Thanks!

EVERYBODY KNOWS 10 PEOPLE

94 Followers. 91 Pre-orders. 72 Readers. How cool is that? We are grateful and humbled. And happy. Our faces are wearing Grins of Unusual Size. Yeah, we're that jazzed.

However...

ENHANCED is a Young Adult story, and Inkshares Readers are not young adults. We're reaching out to grown-ups who love Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, and LotR, but we're not reaching that vast sea of young adults who can start a word-of-mouth tsunami.

We fear we'll go under.

We need a surge to push us past some pesky contenders. We were asking ourselves how we could do that when one of our most rabidly devoted Readers suggested... a Plan.

She said, "Everybody knows 10 people who would do anything for them if they only asked."

Now we’re asking you to help us stay afloat in the Top 5. This update launches the Everybody Knows 10 People campaign here and on our Facebook page. The premise is simple: Everybody knows 10 people who would do anything for them if they’d only ask, so we’re asking you to ask those 10 people in your life to commit a generous and charitable act in four steps:

Visit ENHANCED’s contest page here.
Read the excerpt
Pre-order one book for $9.99.
Ask the 10 people in their lives. Everybody has them.

If you haven't pre-ordered yet, you can be one of your own 10! And if you ask people who say, “I never read Science Fiction,” tell them they can commit a second generous and charitable act by donating their copy to a public library, children’s hospital, or old folks home so someone who reads Science Fiction can read ENHANCED.

Think of it as a risk-free investment in our dream. As the Rules say, "No reader is charged for a pre-order until your book either wins the contest or hits its pre-order goal." The Top 5 win the contest on 9/30/15.

Now get out there and talk to your people! They probably love you even more than we do.

Sue and Robb

You can follow us on Twitter @EnhancedYASyFy, and Like our Facebook Page . We’ll be posting our progress in the contest, related happenings, and Bonus Material about ENHANCED’s characters and Second Earth that won’t appear even in the book when it comes out. We'll post the first Bonus item when our Facebook Page reaches 100 Likes. Invite your 10 people. It'll be fun!

As two of the Top 10 authors in the Nerdist/Inkshares Science Fiction Collections contest, we were asked about the greatest book we had read recently. See what everyone had to say here. Gotta love good book recommendations!
