Hey friendly readers,
I hope you’re all basking in the warm afterglow of IN BETA’s mysterious ending. I’ve been pleasantly surprised at the reception the book is getting, both from you all and the randos picking up the book cold.
We’re about to enter phase 2 of the launch and I some more of your help. If you haven’t already done so, please leave a review on Amazon and Goodreads (links below).

IN BETA has 9 Amazon reviews and my goal is to get to 30 before we go to PR outlets. Gotta build that buzz. You’ve been instrumental in your support so far—this extra boost can help push this campaign to another level.
Thanks in advance,
Prescott
Hi everyone. Just wanted to give a quick update on THE GHOST TRACKS. We are still on schedule for an October 19th release date. The first copies of the book are currently at the printer now.
I’m also happy to reveal the final cover. Tim Barber at Dissect Designs did a fantastic job creating it, using an idea from Inkshares CEO Adam Gomolin. Couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out. Hope you like it as much as I do!
Hi! It’s just over a month away from launch! Eeeeeeeeee!
Inkshares has asked me to remind you all to update your addresses so that your books go to the right place. To do so, log into your Inkshares account and click on the little profile bubble on the top right side of the screen. There, you should see an option for "shipping address." Contact Inkshares support if you need any help!
I’m so excited that you’ll have books in hand soon!!! Thank you!
It’s rewarding to see assessments like this.
Hey, how’s it going! I am glad to report that the reveal of Bane of All Things’ cover last week met with widespread praise.
So, what’s next? Garnering advance reviews and buzz to make sure this book is a success … and there are things you can do to help with that.
First, if you are active on Goodreads.com, you can add BoAT to lists where it will gain more attention. There are literally thousands of existing lists, created by users like us.
Some of the lists that may be a fit for BoAT include:
I could go on, but you get the idea. You can add a book to as many lists as you want.
And you can of course add BoAT to your own Want to Read list or Fantasy or Epic Fantasy Shelf. (Creating your own Shelf for a specific genre like Fantasy or Epic Fantasy and adding a book there is also key to how Goodreads’ algorithm works to help other users find the kinds of books they want to read.)
Second, there is NetGalley.com. Publishers post their upcoming titles here. You can sign up for free as a reviewer to get an advance digital copy of a book for free in exchange for an honest review. BoAT is available there now. Of course, if you have pre-ordered BoAT, you have already paid for a copy or copies that you will receive this fall.
(If you do decide to sign up at NetGalley, you may want to use the NetGalley Shelf app on your mobile device for reading versus the Send to Kindle option. The Kindle-friendly file format isn’t available yet and the current PDF has some clunky formatting issues on a Kindle. You can read it on a Kindle, but it’s not pretty.)
That’s it for now. Your continued support is so very much appreciated. It seems like only yesterday that BoAT’s release date of Nov. 16 was eight months off. Now it’s only four and change!
Stay safe and keep reading.
Cheers
Leo
