Good day everyone! 

Mondays are hard. There aren’t enough hours in a weekend to both accomplish everything we want to and get any proper relaxation in.   

I’ve been keeping myself busy everyday, making sure that I have new content for you all. By tomorrow you’ll be receiving another sample chapter for The Traveller’s Cup. I think I know which piece I want to show you, but I’m going to take another evening to consider it carefully and make sure that it’s well-edited. 

As for updates on the campaign, we’re still managing to stay afloat in the top ten, but it’s the top three that we need. And for that we’ve got to double our pre-orders fast.

Some of you may have followed the book assuming that counts toward pre-orders. Unfortunately, while your support still counts to me, only deliberate pre-orders count for the publishing deal and contest. If you aren’t sure, head back to the book’s page and check out the green button under the book thumbnail that says "Pre-Order." 

And as always, if you have placed an order, please continue sharing with your friends and communities so we can make sure this bit of space fantasy comes to life. 

Note that if the project is not funded for whatever reason, you will receive your pre-order money back. Inkshares and Nerdist just want to see that people are serious about buying before they take on the publishing part.

Thanks again for your support in this great battle!

Greetings, everyone!

I hope you’re enjoying a lazy Sunday, or getting the most out of this love-holiday, to close off a great week. My week has been a roller-coaster ride full of marketing and networking, trying to make sure that The Traveller’s Cup continues on its path toward publication. 

First, there’s a new blurb up on the page. I ran this by a group of my writing friends and they agree it packs a better punch, so I hope you enjoy it too. And also that it spurs you to send the link to all your friends. 

Second, you guys are amazing. Thanks to you we’ve managed to stay fairly consistently in the top 10. Maintaining this means more exposure for the book, and inspires me to make sure it’s a story worthy of your pledges. For proof of the exposure, check out the article Nerdist did about the campaign, where you can get some details on the inspiration that went into The Traveller’s Cup. 

Lastly, despite all of this great news, we have a long way to go still. If we all share with our friends and communities enough to get one more order each, we could reach first place. Please help me make this happen. 

With all the warm Valentine fuzzies you could ask for and then some,

First, thanks again for all of your support! You guys have fueled my passion to complete this project, but we have a long way to go. 

Many of you are followers of The Traveller’s Cup, but have yet to place an order. Please place an order today if you want to see this book come to life. The numbers for this book are slowly going up, but so are everyone else’s. Currently we have been bumped from the top 10 by a few orders. If the pre-orders double today we would skyrocket to 2nd place. Nerdist winners include anyone in the top 3.  

A note that the digital (e-book) version is $10 with no shipping fee, and comes in any format you’d like. This can be read on a portable reader, mobile device, or even your home PC. 

If you have ordered a copy, I need your help spreading the word. I’m pushing this to everyone I can think of, but you guys have more connections than I do. If we all share this together, we can get the orders we need. 

Thanks again for your continued support for The Traveller’s Cup. Let’s get this book in 2nd place today and published in the near future!

Greetings!

First, thanks to everyone for your support so far. This competition is fierce, and it’s nice to know so many of you want to see The Traveller’s Cup happen.

However, we’re currently far behind in pre-orders. We had hit 8th place on day one, which was very exciting for me, but now we are out of the top 10. I want to make sure this book gets published and gets into your hands. 

To make that happen, all you have to do is follow the link back to the book’s page and click "pre-order" on the e-book version. This version comes in a variety of formats that can be read on nearly any device, including your mobile phone or even PC. Plus by picking up the digital version you can avoid printing and shipping costs. 

If you’ve already ordered your copy, you can help by sharing with your friends on social media and in your geek circles. 

Thanks again for all your support. Let’s work together to make The Traveller’s Cup a reality.
