Congratulations , you did it. I can't wait to have the book in my hands.
"What is this madness? An update on a Tuesday?"
Yes, yes, I know. But it's the final update in regards of the contest! So, here is the deal. After this contest, my work is not done. I still have to polish everything up, work with Inkshares, and do copy editing. Also: I have to do other things... like... get a website.... annnnd a blog... but the best part: Hitting conventions along with an avid amount of gaming and storytelling. The Seventh Age is mere hours away from actually living.
Don't worry. I'll keep everyone posted. For everyone who is still following. Last chance to have your vote matter for the contest!
Speaking of having your vote matter. There is a book from a new awesome friend of mine that I've plugged before, both on facebook, and in an update. I'm sure if you read this and log into inkshares.. your time could very well be spent picking up this book. 
Runes of the Apprentice. Which can be ordered: Here
I mean. LOOK AT THIS TOTAL GEEK!!!! (He's totally gonna break me for this...)
He's got a katana, make up, and glowy lighty things. With maps! If you remember last update I did featuring Runes. I highlighted fantasy maps. I have a thing for them. This is some geek pride.
So here is the story, Runes is near the top 10 and trying to crack into that before the contest ends. If you really enjoy some epic fantasy, or want to help out this fine gentleman who spent all weekend at a convention.... go check out his work. For those of you who don't want to scroll up. Here is the link again: Right Here
Particularly Bella Kraft. Who has been flooding my facebook feed with other authors she's been backing. Jason Peercy, you need to convince him to come play in your game. Ellen, his style should fit you well. I've noticed more than a few of my friends getting addicted to checking out new authors. So, go his way and read a chapter.
As for me, it's the final day of the contest. I really just want to say thank you for everyone's support so far. I will do you proud and deliver unto you one hell of a urban fantasy book.
Let's cross our fingers and hope our hardwork and luck holds! Thank you everyone so much! I'm going to go out and see if I can't knock on a few more doors myself!
We have hit 500 readers! (well, 510 because I only do updates on Saturday). So in celebration....
Welcome to Deadland. Zac. A MERE T-REX T-Shirt! HA! I scoff at this!!! I raise you an ARMY!!!!!!!
"A turkey, huh? OK, try to imagine yourself in the Cretaceous Period. You get your first look at this "six foot turkey" as you enter a clearing. He moves like a bird, lightly, bobbing his head. And you keep still because you think that maybe his visual acuity is based on movement like T-Rex - he'll lose you if you don't move. But no, not Velociraptor. You stare at him, and he just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side....."
As you can tell... after 41 days I am growing more and more crazy.
So. I have two special shout outs: The first is to lucky number 500.

A special thanks to both of them for helping me out greatly. Showing me the ropes a little bit. And letting me loiter in their store asking anyone who walked in the door if they like to read. Support your friendly local gaming store people! Wherever you are!!
Well... we have 4-5 days left. The march continues. I think we are all pretty tired at this point. But, if you feel up to it: Make one last poke to your friends and readers. It's the last chance to get the book AND have it help for the contest.
Thank you so much everyone! I'm feeling pretty good about this!
This is a quick update, because I'm out and about shaking hands and doing what I can to keep the steam rolling.
First there is something that must be done: WE HIT 400!!!! In honor of the trend started by Welcome To Deadland! Here is my reaction!!
400!!! (Also evidence... I have no idea how to take a Selfie...
Okay, Now that that is out of the way. We have a lot of followers left to reach out to. Chances are, if you are reading this update with a giant picture of me: You've already backed the book or you are following it. If you ARE following it. How about some feedback on what can flip you over into a full time reader.
More chapters from different characters? This is a multi-faction fantasy book.
How about... if you and 4 people all hop in and flag me, I'll offer my services as a GM to you via skype or in person if you are local in the area for a one shot game?
Leave a comment, some feedback, or what you are looking for. I get that some of you may be nervous because of the contest. Don't let that hold you back. Demons need companions and Street Tacos need to be consumed...
For the people who backed the book: By now, we are at the point where serious outreach is required. Poke a friend who likes to read urban fantasy or conspiracy. We only have a few days left in the contest. If you have ANY ideas of where I can go, or something I do more than I already am. Email me! Also.... a few other authors have put together a reward for backers. I'll be getting it to you through facebook or other means, because it's for people who backed the book. An adult coloring book! Some of you like to color yes? I know if you stick a piece of paper in front of me I will draw on it...
I digress! The march continues! Join the Glorious Evolution! For the Horde! And then... the fire nation attacked...
Onward Humans! To Glory!
seriously....... tag a friend and rope someone else in. It's your accountabilibuddy!
