Beth Kanell liked an update for Cat’s Paw

The 14th has come and gone, and the Inkshares Mystery & Thriller Contest is over. Unfortunately for us, both "Richly Drawn" and "Ripe for Execution" put on a last-minute spurt and forged ahead, leaving us in fourth place and off the winners’ podium.

HOWEVER

While we don’t have a guaranteed publishing deal, we still have a chance. Inkshares is currently evaluating each of the entrants for inclusion as an "additional winner". A number of contest entries have been counting on this "additional winner" spot, I believe; but I also believe that fighting for a top three spot (even if we failed!) has put us in a much better position to get it.

We should know by January whether we’re going to get the go-ahead after all.

In the meantime, pre-orders remain open on "Cat’s Paw" until the end of January, and Christmas is almost upon us. I don’t know about you, but I refuse to let any of this get me down. May the new year bring all the best we could hope for!

    Flintlock epic fantasy that’s a bit dark without going all grimdark. A condemned witch and a traumatized soldier on the run refuse to become the pawns of dead gods who want to murder their parents and a living sword with dreams of genocide.

    I think if you click on just the book title, you’ll land on the page that has the pre-order column. Let me know if that doesn’t work. Glad you are enjoying it!
