NEW Update: Please Read!

Dear my fellow readers and authors,

As always, welcome back to my site and thank you for taking the time to read this update.

So, before I go on, I want to congratulate Henderson House, Infodemic and Wild Conviction for winning the 2020 All Genre Manuscript Contest! Their stories rocked and I wish them the best moving on.

Also, I want to wish good luck to the remaining contestants.

Yes, that’s right. I said good luck.

Inkshares is doing their next phase in choosing contestants, and they are now choosing books with the highest nominations.

I have explained about this several times, but for those who don’t know what a nomination is, it’s the button next to share button on a computer. (can’t do it on phones ): ) Click on it and you will get asked 3 questions. Easy as that.

Please go share this with your friends, and ask as many people you know to do it.

Remember, you don’t have to pay, and it will only take 5 minutes out of your day.

Again, write on this page for any questions and comments, and the more engagement we get on this page, the better of a chance I have to get this book published.

Also, I was in fourth place when the contest tallied up, so previously I did have a lot of engagement, I just need to keep it up, and who knows?

We have until May 1st, so I hope to see everybody participating here, and all around Inkshares.

Oh, and one more thing: funding has extended, and up until May 4th, so please order since if we reach 750, contest or not, we will get the book published.

That’s it for now, stay tuned for more updates!

Stay safe, happy and healthy,

Nirmani

Mary Dezember liked an update for Bane of All Things

OK, folks, this is the news I have been waiting to share for … well, more pandemic-plagued months than I care to count:

Bane of All Things will publish on Nov. 9, 2021!

That means you will finally have your copy, or copies, for Christmas (depending, of course, on the cooperation of the postal service, if that involves print copies).

Nov. 9 is months later than it might have otherwise been without COVID, but a month or two sooner than we thought it might be a couple of weeks ago. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of Avalon Radys, Noah Broyles and the rest of the Inkshares team, the train has left the station.

You can already see the placeholder for BoAT with its ISBN numbers here on Amazon.ca (it should be showing up on Amazon.com at any time). You have no idea how much I have anticipated the day when I could point you to that!

Sometime soon, we will get into layout and cover design. The next big milestone will be the cover reveal. The current cover is of course just a placeholder whipped up by yours truly with an Adobe Stock image.

I’ve said it many times before but can never say it enough – thank you to each and every one of you. None of this would have been possible without your support and patience.

Stay safe and keep reading!

Cheers

Leo
