Good morning everyone, 

We’re five days into the campaign to get BLUE WATER published, and we’re sitting pretty at 44 preorders.  For other Inkshares writers, we’re barely dipping below the "ideal funding rate" line.  For everyone else, to keep pace to make the finish line, we have to pick up our pace just a little bit.  If you plan on preordering and haven’t yet, carpe diem.

I’ve added a few blog posts on our Facebook page about the process of writing BLUE WATER, from its beginning as a screenplay to a webseries, to crafting our female protagonist, Emily Hunter, and how to make a character deep and motivated.

You can check it out here: http://www.facebook.com/bluewaternovel

I plan on continuing with new blog posts down the road, but the twists and turns in BLUE WATER start pretty early on around chapter 4, so I don’t want to write too much about story elements for fear of giving the game away.

So thank you to all our followers for getting us this far, and I hope you continue to support the novel all the way to victory.  I know you’ll love it once you get your hands on it.

Thank you,

Joseph

PREORDER HERE: http://www.inkshares.com/books/blue-water 

Hello everyone,

The campaign to get Blue Water published is now officially 24 hours old, and we’re sitting at 3% of our goal in just one short day.  If we keep this pace up, we’ll be doing just fine.

Please pre-order Blue Water and help us spread the news that this book is in the funding stage for the second time.  If you pre-ordered last time, your money has already been refunded and your pre-order cancelled.  You’ll need to pre-order again if you want to get a copy.

Also, while I can send you guys these messages from here, they’re kind of one sided.  I get notifications that you like what I said, and that’s about it.  We have a Facebook page as well, where we can open up more of a dialogue, and you can tell me what it is you’d like to see from the campaign as we go forward.  Follow this link:

I’ll send out regular updates on Inkshares every week so I don’t fill up everyone’s mailbox, but I’ll be updating the Facebook page much more frequently.  So go there and like our page for the latest news.

As always, I thank you all for your interest in Blue Water, and I look forward to hearing what you think when you read it once we get to the finish line.

Thanks,

Joseph

Hey everybody, the campaign is now live to get Blue Water to its Inkshares goal!  Please follow the links below to pre-order your copy!

A few clarifications: This is our second shot at this campaign.  If you already pre-ordered a copy months ago during our first try, your money was refunded and your pre-order was cancelled, as we didn’t get to the goal.  So to help us out and to get a copy, you’ll need to pre-order again.

Also, as opposed to last time where I was writing the book during the campaign, this time, it’s finished.  I can’t wait for you guys to read it.

Please share this on your social media (and real life, off the internet, good ol’ human interaction), and spread the word about what we’re trying to do here.  If you share a link only, people might not follow, so if you could please just write a little something like:

Help this book get published!  Pre-order your copy!

Thank you all for your help, and your interest in Blue Water.  I have no doubt we’ll reach the finish line this time, and that you’ll finally get a chance to read this novel.

Hey everyone,

Hey there, 

 I’m writing to let you know that in five days, we are relaunching the campaign to get the supernatural thriller novel Blue Water published. You followed us our first go-round and perhaps this time, I’ll be a little more prepared and we can cross the finish line together. 

 I’m contacting you five days early because I’d love to hit the ground running. Below you’ll find links to all our important sites so we can spread the word as easily and conveniently as possible. I hope you’ll follow us again on this journey and are as excited as I am to get Blue Water out there and into the hands of as many people as possible. 

 Thank you, 

Joseph Parcell

In five days, we’re re-launching the campaign to get Blue Water published.  This time, we’ll be ready.  I hope you are too.  Together, we can get this book into your hands, and with your help, the hands of all your friends and family.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I'm thankful for all of your support, because as of a couple minutes ago, we officially hit our goal of 100 pre-orders!  So, as promised, I have now uploaded "Chapter 4: fiat voluntus tua" to the BLUE WATER Inkshares site.  I hope you enjoy the trip as we go further and further down the rabbit hole into Emily Hunter's mind.

So now, we have made 40% of our light publish goal of 250 orders.  We have 20 days left.  So if we make 50% (or 25 more preorders) I'm letting "Chapter 5: causa latet, vis est notissima" fly.  So spread the word, toss out some recommends, and get your friends to pre-order.  Together, we can discover the mystery behind BLUE WATER.

All my best, and thank you again,

Joseph

Hey everybody!  We're only three pre-orders away from releasing Chapter 4!  If you want to read it, and haven't ordered yet, or can help spread the word, now is the time!

The book itself is finished.  All 35 chapters and the epilogue are all sitting right in front of me as I type this, just waiting to be read.  We've got 21 days to get 153 more pre-orders to get to the light publishing option.  And we need your help getting there!  The first three chapters are up to read, but believe me, you guys haven't read anything yet.

Thank you for all your help and support so far.  We're on our way.

All my best,

Joseph
