750! We did it.

Thank you. This is a dream realized for me, and I couldn’t have done it without the support of so many of you.

What’s next: I’ll be assigned an editor and together we’ll work on making Illegal the best it can be, a design team will work on the books look,  and then the marketing team will take over. Finally, Inkshares will mail out your copy and distribute Illegal to bookstores throughout the country. Hard to say exactly when that will be, but my best guess would be in the later half of 2017. I’ll send infrequent updates when there is relevant information to share, like a firm publication date.  

Keep sharing this story. And keep encouraging others to buy this book.

Onward and upward.

Hi Team Tacky! 

I’m writing with an update on how our campaign is going. (Spoiler alert-- we are crushing it!) We’ve been selling preorders for exactly a week, and as I write this, we are at 146 copies!! That means we need to sell just over 100 more copies to ensure this gets printed, and about 600 more copies to earn a national marketing and distribution package! To celebrate, I’d like you all to meet the Dread Pirate Bubble Beard. (Read the poem here!) 

Many of you have contacted me with amazing marketing and outreach ideas. Keep them coming! I’ve got some author event plans in the works. For now, one of the best things you can do is to email, call, or message your friends who you feel like would especially like this stuff, ask them to read the poems, and if they like them, to consider ordering. Thanks again for your support so far. You are the absolute greatest!

We are now at 100 preorders! That leaves Dragonford with quite a hill left to climb, but I am happy to reach this personal milestone. I hope you all have been enjoying the updates and material. Thank you for coming along for the ride. For those still waiting to make a purchase, I hope you will consider securing a preorder in the coming days. If you have made your purchase, be sure to use the Recommend button. Only 18 days left to go!

My sincerest thanks to all of you who have pre-ordered a copy of APEX and recommended to your friends to pre-order as well. I’m now within 6, yes SIX, pre-orders of 3rd place. Of course, the competition isn’t standing still, but with my new fantastic video trailer on YouTube and Inkshares found here:

created by the amazing Christopher Lee, author of The Lore of Aos Si (Check out his novel on Inkshares.com), I have a chance to push ahead.

Thank you so much for all of your continued support. Please help me make this last push to forge ahead in the contest so I can get my book published and into your hands!

Cheers, Debbie
