Hello my Knightmares!
Thank you, so very much, to all those who purchased over the weekend. We started the weekend in the low 60s and finished in the low 80s. I can’t thank those who purchased enough. I feel reinvigorated to keep pushing.
And a special thanks for my second SUPER READER, Mr. John Abbott. Thanks, my friend, I appreciate it so much. (For those of you who do not know, a Super Reader is someone who purchases 3 or more books–you can buy up to 10 books per person. When you buy 3 or more, you get your name printed in the back of the book as a special supporter of the project.)
With this push, I have come up with an idea. I have realized that to be successful in this campaign, I cannot bear the burden of selling alone. To respond to this realization, I have come up with a new referral program!
If you refer 2 or more people to buy a book, you will receive a FREE t-shirt!
If everyone who has bought a book so far were to refer at least 2 people, we would be within a half dozen books left before we hit the 250 pre-order goal. Now, I fully realize this is wishful thinking, but I do believe many of you know at least 1 or 2 people who might appreciate this kind of book. So please, give it a try and earn yourself a free t-shirt!
NOTE: If you refer people, please make sure to contact me and let me know who you referred. I cannot keep track on my end.

THE KNIGHTMARES excerpt:
“Have you never learned to defend yourself?” Thomas whispered.
“In my day,” said Gene, emoting his best grandpa impression, “we didn’t need to learn to defend ourselves. When we battled and lost, we hit the reset button. Or we used the Contra-code and got thirty extra lives.”
“Brilliant. Was every man in your day no more equipped for the world than a stuffy affluent english woman?” Thomas growled.
Secondly, I got promoted and had my daughter pin the new rank on:

Although I’ve become a poor blogger with no sense of schedule over the last year or two, I still have a blog which counts several hundred page-views even when I don’t post, every month. Much more when I do. Starting this coming monday (very much in honor of Draftshares which has so recently ended) I would like to invite Inkshares authors the chance to display themselves and their projects on my blog. Basically it would be an author profile and an introduction to their stories, with one or two images of their choosing.
Obviously, I don’t promise any specific results. It’s only a chance to spread the word of your project on another tiny piece of this infinite little internet of ours. If you are interested in taking part, message me here or post on this forum thread. I can’t say that everyone will be able to do this, since I’ll only be posting one profile per week, but I’ll do my best to spread the love!
If there is enough interest, I might even turn it into two posts a week; one for drafts, and one for projects already in the pre-order phase.
Please let me know if you have any thoughts or ideas about this!
