Amanda Rye sent an update for Where I Rest My Head

So the Nerdist contest has ended (congratulations to the winners!!), and I landed nowhere near the top. BUT THIS IS OKAY.

If not for this contest, what you have been supporting and following would still be an anxiety-riddled idea in my head, and a paragraph of dialogue or two on my computer. If not for your support and encouragement (and pre-orders!) I would not have realized that I CAN make my dream come true.

I am still walking the path of that dream. I am making it happen. YOU are making it happen. And this is where I ask you to continue in your support. Tell everyone you know, and help them become supporters too. I've got until the end of November to reach 750 copies pre-ordered, which will mean my book will be published electronically. I'd love to surpass that number, honestly. I'd love to reach 1000 pre-orders and make this book a living, solid thing to hold in your hand. I truly believe it can happen. 

I will be posting another excerpt from my book tomorrow, and in the days to come I'm going to get creative with my "marketing", as it were. There may be a video or two. There will be some character exploration and possibly some artistic renderings. I'm in the process of designing my own book cover as well. 

You don't get what you don't ask for.

I'm asking, and I'm receiving.
