Hey everyone!!

I know I said I wouldn’t send anymore updates but.....I would really like to reach the Top 3 in the Nerdist contest. I’m only 8 readers away from 3rd and so with less than 16 hours left in the contest every pre-order helps! 

I’ve worked so hard on this story and as a black, female author I want nothing more than to increase diversity in the literary world. With this gamer girl novel, I hope to shed light on the lady gamers out there and show my true passion for writing. By hitting that lovely green button you’re not only supporting my project but bringing me one step closer to a lifelong dream. Once again, I ask those who haven’t pre-ordered yet to take a chance and invest in a gamer girl story with dragons and video gaming. 

No matter the outcome, I will be proud with how successful this campaign has been and I won’t stop until this story is published. 

Thank you for following me and have a good night!

Last call! Order IN BETA now or, uh, pick it up in bookstores later (hopefully). The Nerdist video game contest ends tomorrow, and it’s been a helluva ride. I’ll be glad to quit hustling and return to churning out the video game-themed hilarity.

Woohoo!!  Mission 51 just passed the 150 pre-order mark! This is very exciting! Do you know what that means? It means we can run the Mission 51 Raffle!

I will now enter the names of every person who pre-ordered Mission 51 so far into Riffle Raffle. Here is a link to the original post and rules for the raffle. The winner will be chosen randomly, electronically.

I’ll announce the winner sometime this weekend. Good luck! :-)

And please, keep pushing Mission 51 to all your peeps. We still have 97 pre-orders to go, and only 22 days in which to do it, for Inkshares to publish this book! We can do it!!! :-)

Wow. Two e-mails in one day. Sorry if that bothers you, but I honestly could NOT just leave you all with Chapter 7. I just couldn’t do it.

So Chapter 8 is up! Pieces of the puzzle begin to fall into place during this chapter and you finally get to meet someone very very important... Kaiya’s brother.

What? You didn’t know she had a brother? That’s cool. Neither did she. ;)

Oh, yeah. Also, there’s only 36 days left of the campaign. Is it even possible to get 172 pre-orders in 36 days? Part of me says no, but I want to prove that part wrong. I can with your help.

Take care. Love always,

T

This week I’d like to use my author spotlight to bring your attention to one of the top-level entrants in the Nerdist competition: Destiny Imperfect.
 

This book promises to be an absolute mindscrew. The idea of a world where virtual reality and actual reality are so closely intertwined that it’s a challenge just to differentiate between the two is so full of potential. The places this story can explore from a psychological standpoint are endless, and based only on what I’ve seen so far, it looks like Destiny Imperfect is going to throw me into a full-on existential crisis. But in a good way.

Seriously check out this book. I want it on my shelf right now.
