Greetings Destiny-followers,

Greetings Destiny-followers,

We’ve reached 100 readers! Thanks to everyone for jumping on board and helping to make this book a reality. I couldn’t do it without you.

Right now, Destiny Imperfect is currently in fourth position and I could do with your help. For this book to be successful, it needs to be in the top three and time is ticking away! No top three, no Destiny :-( If you are following Destiny Imperfect and haven’t pre-ordered, I’d love it if you could. If you have pre-ordered (thanks again!), try and think of someone who would also enjoy the Destiny Imperfect experience and suggest to them (politely) that now would be a great time to jump in and support it!

Have a great weekend!

Cheers,

Peter

Greeting Destiny-followers,

Back from Thailand where I did a lot more reading than writing. And what a pleasure that was. There really are some good books in Inkshares-land. I mentioned a few previously, but I’ll do it again given I can now link across. In no particular order:

Rune of the Apprentice by @Jamison Stone - I motored through this. A captivating story by an author who knows how to write an action scene! (you can order and read now)

An Unattractive Vampire by  @Jim McDoniel  -  Urban vampires meet the real thing! A wonderful interpretation of the modern vampire myth. (you can order and read now)

An Adventure with Dada by  @Michael Haase - I’m having a blast with this. Well worth getting. (in pre-order right now – throw Mike some support)

How to Get Run Over by a Truck by @Katie C. McKenna – this makes you laugh, cry and shake your head all at the same time. If you want to put your life in perspective, this is a must read. (you can order and read now)

And on to me! Destiny Imperfect is having a jolly good battle to remain in the top three. I could really use your support. To show how sci-fi influences the real world, I’ve included a picture from the recent wedding I went to. I’m the one with the Klingon Baldric (sash) – and no, it wasn’t a theme wedding … unfortunately! Don’t forget to pre-order and share the Destiny Imperfect love!

 Cheers,

Peter

Greetings Destiny-followers,

One of the joys of taking a vacation is a chance to read the stuff  I had previously ordered on Inkshares. And here are three I would absolutely recommend!

An Unattractive Vampire by @jimmcdoniel - a tremendous take on the modern-day vampire story (available now).

Rune of the Apprentice by @jamisonstone - an awesome, rollocking fantasy (available now).

An Adventure with Dada by @michaelhaase - a hilarious read and somewhat at the ribald end of the spectrum (pre-order at this stage, I’m reading an advance copy).

Apologies for not linking through with the above books, but the phone is proving difficult to deal with!

I’m also still in the hunt for a top three position with Destiny Imperfect (sitting third with fourth hot on my heels!) and could do with a boost if you feel like jumping on board. 

Have a good one and check out those books!

Cheers,

Peter

Hi all,

haven’t been in touch for 2 weeks, but it doesn’t mean i haven’t been working. 616 orders we are, with 28 days to go (wow). This is where I need you all to step up, we are only 134 orders short of 750 --never thought I would be saying this (!) 
So, please please, forward this pre-order link https://goo.gl/3bTKYB to all your friends. I will donate 3.5$ from every order to the kids at Norwood UK (who really need it) and you get to send me off to Inkshares full publication, g-d willing...
Inkshares fellow authors, if you have extra credits to toss at the cause - I will be grateful just the same.

I thank every single order, they all count. But also wanted to mention Josl, Judith, Ora and Daniella, all placed generous multiple orders.

Once you’ve done with me, please take the time to check my dear friend Evan Graham’s Tantalus Depths, an excellent SciFi novel worthy of your attention. Evan is actively helping me, and had written a fantastic novel - so I wanted to mention him as well. 

Finally, it is no secret that for EURO 2016 as always I back the Azzurri (Americans look it up - sorry).. But interesting (and not easy) days are upon us here in England with current events and also the potential Brexit.
So while you all go out there to promote my book (a dash of wishful thinking) join me all with a BIG Hurrah to the Lions in white!! Go England!

Greetings Destiny-followers,

Destiny Imperfect is taking time out from its hectic Thailand best man duties and wishes to thank you all for the support over the last few days. Firstly, we are at 97 readers (101 pre-orders – yay!). It would be absolutely fantastic to crack the 100 readers as soon as possible. So if you’re in the position to do so, a pre-order would be great!

Destiny Imperfect would also like to give an enormous thanks to Evan Graham and his awesome book Tantalus Depths! Evan dug deep and did some heavy duty referring for Destiny. You are the man, Mr. Graham! If you haven’t ordered Tantalus Depths, get on over there and get an order in.

I’d also like to give a shout out to a couple of my competitors in the Inkshares/Nerdist contest. There’s only room for two of us in the top three (first having long since ridden off into the sunset), but if these two kick my butt, then we’re in for a treat. Alisa King’s Are You Sure You Want to Quit is making Destiny’s life tough at the top. And why not? It looks like a gem – check it out and pre-order. And an early favorite of Destiny’s, Matthew Poat’s Squids In, is also worth pre-ordering.

Anyway, thank you all very much! Let’s get out there and try to hit the hundred reader mark! Destiny Imperfect will do its best to lend all the support it can! Right after this next beer …

Cheers,

Peter

Greetings Destiny-followers,

When the going gets tough, the tough go to Thailand. The top of the contest leader board is sure getting crowded. Despite this pressure, Destiny Imperfect has a hot date with a cold beer on a tropical island beach! But why run? Stay and fight, Destiny Imperfect, I hear you implore. Destiny Imperfect is no slacker, but Destiny Imperfect is also a book of its word. And Destiny Imperfect is to be ‘best man’ at a most excellent friend’s wedding. And, as mentioned, the prospect of cold beer is not at all unappealing.

So what am I going to do while I am temporarily internet-lite? Well I’m going to toss you all the keys to the hot rod and see where you can drive this baby! Friends, family - get them all on board (it’s a trans dimensional hot rod) and have them pre-order. If you’re following and haven’t pre-ordered yet, come on in, the water’s fine! It would be fantastic to see the book still hovering around the top 3 by the time I return; hungover, sunburned and jetlagged (not everything about tropical islands is glamorous). Follow the link and share the love!

Cheers,

Peter

As per our regularly scheduled Wednesday update, I’d like to take this opportunity to bring some attention to another currently funding book on Inkshares. This time, I’d like to shine the spotlight on James Rasile’s genre-blending sci-fi thriller, Cape’s Side Bay.

This is actually the second time I’ve used an author’s update to single out this project; way back when it was just a few orders away from the Quill goal, I felt it deserved a little extra push to get past that 250 pre-orders mark. Well, it’s soared all the way to the 425 pre-order mark now, and it absolutely deserves every last one of them. This book blends Lovecraftian horror with ancient mythology, mysterious thrills with cosmic existentialism, all wrapped up in a story that takes place over a single holiday weekend, where the events that strike the heart of a single, simple town will threaten to shatter every certainty humanity ever had about its place in the universe.

Give this book a pre-order. I’m all but literally counting down the days until I can get my hands on a copy of this phenomenal book. If you like what you’ve seen of Tantalus Depths so far, you will almost certainly find Cape’s Side Bay just as much to your liking, if not more so.
