Greetings Destiny-followers,
It’s been a little over a week since the Inkshares/Nerdist contest and I want to thank you all again for making Destiny Imperfect possible. It’s been a rollercoaster ride so far, and the best is yet to come.
I’d now like to point you in the direction of another one of the contestants. Matthew Poat put together an immense top ten performance and his book, Squids In, looks like a complete blast. I’d love to see this project come to life, and it’d be great if you could get behind this squishy cephalopod. You can find Matt’s book here. Hit the pre-order button and embrace your inner octopus!
Enjoy your weekend!
Peter
Today I’m excited to reveal our new cover for BLUE WATER. Our old one was designed in roughly five minutes to replace the generic cover Inkshares gives you when you start your book page. And since everything with the first campaign was done in haste, designing a cover never really occurred to me. The first campaign fizzled out, and the old cover just sat there.
Then we started the new campaign, and there it was still. Boring, not eye catching, not even sized properly. Nothing but the title giving a hint about the tone of the book, some blurry design behind it, just letting the potential reader glance past it without noticing. And being that Inkshares is a game of getting noticed, it was doing me no favors. And by doing me no favors, it was doing you no favors, because if it doesn’t get seen it doesn’t published, and you don’t get to read it.
So, with that in mind, I set out to design something that would jump off the screen and grab attention. Hopefully, I’ve done that.
Whaddaya think?

Quick note to backers who received eBook for iPad, Kindle or Nook: Inkshares has sent a new version of the eBook because a couple of small errors were spotted after the conversion from the final digital proofs to the eBook file. If you’ve already downloaded and started to read, no worries -- I’m probably the only person who will notice anyway!! However, if you haven’t, please use the new version.
Thanks, all!!
