The Venus told them to go west, and so they did, to the Realm of the Rainbow Serpent. But is dealing with dragons any easier than the gods and demons they left behind? Here be Dragons is an adventure set in a post-apocalyptic supernatural Earth.

I want to thank everyone for their support during the Geek & Sundry Fantasy Contest! We didn’t win, but we did fantastic! I think we finished in about 12th place out of over 400 entries!

Because of your faith in me, I asked the Inkshares folks if we could have an extension of our funding period to try and reach Quill (We’re already halfway there!) or even beyond! 

And Guess what?! We now have until February 21st to get the next 124 copies sold! So share with your friends, order a copy for your family members, print flyers, Let’s get the word out even further! 

Thank you all again for your support. I’m so excited to share this news with you. Let’s get Brand’s story out there! Thanksgiving is coming up, and I have so much to be thankful for! 

You’ll hear from me again soon!

    Fernando Crôtte liked an update for Devil’s Call

    Comrades!

    Two quick things, as I have a deadline and have been on my feet all weekend:

    1) Those of you who preordered already may have noticed you’ve been issued a refund. I lost track of the campaign deadline due to things happening that I’m not at liberty to discuss yet, but I’ve been issued a second extension because

    2) Apparently Inkshares has this The List 2016 contest thing happening and Devil’s Call was chosen as one of the contestants and if I get more readers/preorders than the other 34 people on the list then something happens. Publication, I think. Or bragging rights. IDK.

    Here is a gif to celebrate the fact that I have to cashier not only on Turkey Day, but on Black Friday.

    Thanks for your support, as always,

      Fernando Crôtte liked an update for Murder at the Veterans’ Club

      EXCITING NEWS!

      "Murder at the Veterans’ Club" has been selected for The List. This is a contest for book projects on Inkshares that have caught the eye of the Powers That Be--unlike other contests, participation is by invitation only. On 31 December, the three book projects with the most unique readers will win the Full Publication deal ... you know, that thing that happens when you get 750 orders.

      WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

      It means that on 31 December, if "Murder at the Veterans’ Club" is still in the top three--thanks to you, we have a head start in second position--we can go into production with the Full Publication deal right then and there. It means you could get your books a month earlier than expected. It means the current focus is no longer on the great 750, but on maintaining a position at the top of the heap.

      It means that people think "Murder at the Veterans’ Club" is a book worthy of note, in case you had any doubts before.

      But wait! Is there any doubt that we can make it? Is there any doubt that we can maintain our position in the top three? Well ... yes. A handful of our competition are only just now starting: they’re blank slates, and anything could happen with them. The first few weeks of a campaign always see a huge spike in orders, so any one of these fresh-faced young recruits could pole-vault right over us. And then there are those veterans infused with fresh enthusiasm. We have to keep moving!

      So if you’ve been on the fence before, now is the time to place your order! Stand up and be counted, because that’s the only way we can stay in the top three and make this happen!

        Great News Everyone!

        We’ve blown our first funding goal out of the water-- reaching 250 pre-orders with 45 days still left in the campaign. This means several big things:

        • The book will definitely get published.
        • I will be assigned an editor, and inkshares will take care of the ISBN number, printing,  order fulfillment, and much more.
        • I’m pretty much freaking out over here.
        So what’s next? As you know, the book won’t be physically printed until next year, so those of you who want to use this as a gift for the holidays this year need to email me at katiehayes927@gmail.com and tell me how many gift receipts you need! I’ll mail them to you.



        We are also still on track to reach 750 pre-orders!  This would basically change my whole life, since it would put my book on bookshelves across America.  Sooooo.... If you love me, and you believe in this project, please keep sharing, pestering, and finding excuses for the people in your life to buy this book.

        Thank you so much for your support this far. Y’all are the smartest, funniest, and most supportive friends a tacky girl like me could ever ask for.

        Love,

        Katie

          Hi All, the final list is complete–and it’s longer than the 25 we initially thought.  We’re going to hold off on announcing it until tomorrow morning, so we can send the invites simultaneously. 

          Let’s reload for 10 am California time.

          Cheers, 
          Adam.

            Are you guys reaching out to the people on the list confirming they’re even still interested? I’m sure some of the people whose campaigns have ended either rushed a book that wasn’t really ready into the campaigning stage because they wanted to hop onto whatever contest was going at the time, or they might have been discouraged by their loss and shelved the entire idea without intending to return.
            Also, I know a lot of people, especially the ones who reached or almost reached Quill, are pretty much campaigned-out, and a lot of the ones who never even got that far failed originally because they don’t really have the understanding or means to run a strong campaign. It’s going to be a really uneven playing field. Is anything going to be done to even the odds, or help the contestants campaign more effectively?
            Lastly, won’t some of the books that have reached Quill status have adjusted pricing? If two books are competing for pre-orders and one of them only costs $8 while the other is $10, there’s a huge handicap there.

              I think that the List should be whatever number Inkshares thinks it should be - 25 is fine by me, and 50 is also okay.

                Really exciting idea. Can’t wait to see how the contest works.

                Big kudos to Inkshares for doing something that is so driven by, and for, the community :)
