I'm back in the race! There's a new contest with striking similarities to the last one. Only this time, it doesn't matter how many copies each person orders, because their "vote" is only counted once. This makes things much more fair...you know, because now Grandma Ethel (Does anybody even have a Grandma Ethel?) can't order 50 copies all by her lonesome and put you way ahead of the game. Also, I believe the free $10 of Inkshares credit you were given if you signed up using that special link I sent you, was deposited back into your Inkshares account. Guess what? My book is only $9.99, which means you can recycle that FREE credit right back into my book to help me win. Even without the credit, my book is only $9.99. Just like last time, you only pay if I finish in the Top 5.

Also, new excerpt on its way for your eyeball consumption.

Onward, rapscallions!

The video is up! Go watch it and think about all the self-deprecating comments I'm refraining from making right now!!!

Thank you all who have pre-ordered She Is the End. I have been sitting in the #10 spot off and on over the last couple days, which is fantastic. Every single reader counts for so much, so thank you. 

If you're still on the fence, perhaps watching me talking to myself will convince you...

I'll be sending out another piece of art when I get to 40 readers, so tell your friends! I'm halfway through editing Episode II and I hope you're all here for it next Friday.

Finally, I'd like to highlight a few other great book projects which I think some of you might like:

Blood Dawn by John Robin - A young woman must master a magical gift to win back her father’s stolen throne. (It really reminds me of Dune. The author clearly knows what he's doing; you're in good hands.)

Visioner by Bryn Schut - A YA sci-fantasy novel with a teenage female protagonist. No love triangle, no dress buying montages, and no shrinking violets. It's a quest! (Everything I want in a YA scifi/fantasy, starting with a punch in the face.)

Rise by Brian Guthrie - Four strangers must unite to save their world, shattered in the pursuit of lost love, from ultimate destruction at an usurper's attempt to build a utopia free of death and war. (I like the writing style, and you can't go wrong with complex characters teaming up to save the world!)

Asteroid Made of Dragons by G. Derek Adams - Not your average apocalypse -- too bad our heroes don't even know it's coming. (One of the winners of the last Inkshares contest, and it's clear why.)

Thanks, everyone!
