Ghreman Vhen, ruler of the Iron Empire, wants to change his nation’s oppressive policies and find a way to finally end the Incursions that threaten to destroy the world. His good intentions may be what pave the way for the Outsiders’ victory.
We have us a book, folks! Over the weekend pre-orders surpassed the 250 mark, and "Women Like Us" will become part of the Quill imprint. A most hearty thank you to everybody who supported this endeavor. It really means a lot. Of course it’s also a little scary -- now you’ll have an actual book in your hands, which means you’ll be reading it. Feel free to criticize, though. I have developed a very thick skin! While I’m not exactly sure of the timeline, the book will go through a short edit and design phase, and then it goes into production. I’ll update again when I know exactly when delivery will start to take place. Thanks also to all those who participated in the somewhat kooky contests, and of course the winners -- CJ Dukes, who won the cool osoporto.com Surf/Swim mugs, Michael Scotti who took home the Beagle Freedom swag, Terry Lillienfeld, who snagged that sweet McCall’s Meat and Fish Company Gift Certificate, and Victoria Weaver, who won the chance to help design and place on my person the tattoo honoring our Derric of the Beagle Freedom Project!
Having had no experience running a crowd-funding campaign, this was certainly an educational experience with lots of ups and downs. But a shout-out to a few fellow Inkshares authors and their books for their encouragement and support seems in order too, including Matthew Sobin’s https://www.inkshares.com/books/the-last-machine-in-the-solar-system, Billy O’Keefe’s https://www.inkshares.com/books/these-are-my-friends-on-politics-0985, Amanda Ornecks https://www.inkshares.com/books/deus-hex-machina, Tony Valdez’s Dax Harrison https://www.inkshares.com/books/dax-harrison-2276 and Janna Grace’s https://www.inkshares.com/books/the-talkers-are-talking.Check out these books too. There are more of you guys who were a big help, and to all of you I offer most sincere thanks as well.
Honestly, it’s rather exhausting running one of these campaigns. So for a while I will be focusing on getting the book out and not doing the hard-sell (although of course sales are always good so don’t hesitate!) But once again, I truly thank you all for helping to make this happen.
