Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I'm thankful for all of your support, because as of a couple minutes ago, we officially hit our goal of 100 pre-orders!  So, as promised, I have now uploaded "Chapter 4: fiat voluntus tua" to the BLUE WATER Inkshares site.  I hope you enjoy the trip as we go further and further down the rabbit hole into Emily Hunter's mind.

So now, we have made 40% of our light publish goal of 250 orders.  We have 20 days left.  So if we make 50% (or 25 more preorders) I'm letting "Chapter 5: causa latet, vis est notissima" fly.  So spread the word, toss out some recommends, and get your friends to pre-order.  Together, we can discover the mystery behind BLUE WATER.

All my best, and thank you again,

Joseph

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

    I'm saying it today since I'll be busy tomorrow, and the first of multiple family events I'm supposed to attend actually begins tonight! ...And if you don't celebrate it in your neck of the woods, then I hope you're having a great week in general.

    BUT FIRST! I want to say I am sincerely thankful for all the support I have received on this project. Not just from family and friends, but also complete strangers. I have a few orders coming from Australia. AUSTRALIA! Which happens to be on my bucket list of places to travel. Who knows? Maybe one day I can thank a Dax fan in person out there!

    In the past few days I've been laying low with Dax and instead spending every spare minute working to give back to the Inkshares author community. My time is limited due to the day job and other obligations, but when I can, I've been sounding off on social media for my fellow authors' campaigns-in-progress. I'm sure plenty of folks on Twitter are sick of me, but if you feel like following my madness, I'm @rockhollywood8. :)

    Again, thank you thank you THANK YOU to all my friends, family, complete and total strangers, and new Inkshares pals. You're the best.

    So, reality check: As of today, the book is sitting at 149 pre-orders. As far as I'm concerned, that's an amazing feat! But there's still a ways to go. 101 more orders. 32 days left. That's a little over 3 orders a day, which doesn't seem like much, but momentum is, as it has been with most of this campaign, at a crawl.

    It would most certainly be a photo-finish if we make it in time for the deadline. But don't fret, gang. First and foremost, this is not a premature declaration of defeat. I plan to give this campaign everything I got until the possibly bitter end.


    Remember that Simpsons episode when Homer's roasted pig is rolling away on a runaway grill? And he chases after it through some bushes yelling, "It's just a little dirty! It's still good! It's still good!"

    ...And then it falls into a river and he says, "It's just a little slimy! It's still good! It's still good!"

    ...And then it gets launched into the air like a cannonball and he says, "It's just a little airborne! It's still good! It's still good!" And only then does he finally accept it.

    That will be me, if necessary, in the final hours. Still fighting the good fight. "It's still good! It's still good!" Hahaha (Click here to watch that clip!)

    And furthermore, should this particular campaign not meet it's goal, I will refuse to consider it a failure. Why? I got the word out on Dax, gained a small but excited following, and discovered an awesome community of authors eager to help each other out. For all of these things, I am thankful.

    Plan B goes into effect the second the campaign ends with 249 pre-orders or less. I will keep everyone informed on my progress, posting more content for you to review/critique/get excited over. And when the time comes, hopefully just a few short months down the road, I will let you know where you can re-order your copy of Dax, most likely on Amazon's ebook and print-on-demand services, as was my original plan before discovering Inkshares.

    But enough of that! The 12th round ain't over yet!


    Talk to you soon, guys!
    -Tony

      Hey Everyone,

      So, how's your week going? Because mine...

        

      That's right. An Unattractive Vampire has been chosen to join the Inkshares contest winners Asteroid Made of Dragons and The Life Engineered in the Sword and Laser collection. Here is a link to the official announcement.

      I couldn't be be more happier. First of all, without the Sword and Laser contest, I would not have proofreading notes from a professional production team in my inbox right now. Second, I've been a fan of the Sword and Laser for years now. Seeing them use my two  sentence jokes on their video show was exciting and when I heard them laugh while saying the title of my book on their podcast months ago, I was ecstatic. Getting to be a part of their collection, a part of the Sword and Laser, well...let's just say I'm going to have to replace a slot on my list of life goals. So thank you so, so much Tom and Veronica wherever you are (the West coast).

      However, as one Mstr. Yulric Dunnwolffe Bile knows, there is no rest for the wicked. And so, until there's more news, goodnight.

      Also, SQUEE!
