You guys are great! Your belief in ENHANCED has kept us in the Top 5, and we weep tears of gratitude to have you all in our corner.

Remember when Harry Potter first came out and was called a "Children's Book?" Then it grew to be a "Young Adult" book that was beloved not only by kids and young adults, but also by their parents and other adults all over the world. Grown-ups whose inner children live just below the surface. Grown ups who appreciate that the main difference between Adult books and Young Adult books is that YA books have no sexual content.

Why do so many adults read Harry Potter? It has believable characters we love, multi-layered plots that hold our interest, action, and satisfying resolutions.

Our Beta readers believe ENHANCED does, too. Even more, they love that we celebrate diversity.

Here's the thing. In this contest, almost all the entries are for adults. ENHANCED is the only Young Adult Science Fiction anywhere near the Top 5, and maybe the only one with any hope of being published here by Inkshares.com and Nerdist.com.

But most of the Readers on this site are also adults. We aren't reaching the Young Adults who will start the word-of-mouth wildfires. So we need your help to keep us in the Top 5.

What you can do:

• Share your enthusiasm (and our link) with all your friends, especially those who love Harry Potter, especially those with kids.
  
• Go back to the excerpt of ENHANCED and click on the tiny "Recommend" star at the bottom.
• Keep us in your thoughts, and spread the word!

Thanks again for everything you've done so far to help us succeed. We love you all.

Sue and Robb

We are humbled and delighted that so many of you have pre-ordered ENHANCED. And we're surprised -- but very happy -- that so many of you have pre-ordered more than one copy. That will certainly help us  reach our 1,000 pre-orders goal, whose deadline is mid-November, if we aren't in the Top 5 on September 30th.

We knew this would be a roller coaster ride, but we have to confess, holding the #1 spot all day was nerve wracking. The important thing is to end in the Top 5, and that will be easiest if we just stay in that range. We hope you will help us by sharing our dream, our book, and our link (https://www.inkshares.com/projects/enhanced) with pretty much everyone you know. (We're laughing. But we mean it.)

A special note to those of you who don't know us personally. We think you are amazing. And we are confident that since you liked the excerpt well enough to invest in ENHANCED, you will like the entire story -- which is finished and ready to go -- even more!

Thanks to all of you for jumping into the roller coaster with us!

Sue and Robb

Glad to have you on the line, Marcia and David! Tell your friends, and we can really get there.
