Greetings Team Shaping Fate!

Well, this will be my final dispatch here, because we have reached the end of the road for the Nerdist contest. Did we win? Well, not the contest, but I feel like the whole experience is a win. I met some really great fellow authors, got to read some exciting new fiction and got to share part of Shaping Fate with you; a project that I've been working on for a very long time. I know I've said it about a zillion times now, but I'm so grateful to all of the people who followed and pre-ordered the book. Putting myself out there in this capacity was hard, but when I was met with such amazing and unwavering support, it made me wonder why I ever hesitated!

So what now? I'm going to keep going. "Shaping Fate" and it's follow up books, (yes, it's at least a trilogy) will see the light of day. Thank YOU dear readers for giving me that confidence.

I also want to thank The Nerdist and Inkshares for putting on this contest and bringing attention to authors. It means a great deal!

Lastly, congrats to the top 5.

Welcome to Deadland by Zachary Tyler Linville
The Seventh Age: Dawn by Richard Heinz
These Old Bones by Andrew J. Ainsworth
It’s All Fun and Games by Dave Barrett
Rise by Brian Guthrie

Very best of luck!

All of my gratitude,

-V.R. Leavitt

Going to take a break from talking about my book in order to congratulate the top 5 in the Nerdist contest. If you haven't checked out any/all of these books already, then I've went ahead and embedded the links in the titles, so click away and enjoy.

Zachary Tyler Linville("Welcome to Deadland"), Brian Guthrie("Rise"), Richard Heinz("The Seventh Age: Dawn"), Andrew J. Ainsworth("These Old Bones"), and Dave Barrett("It's All Fun and Games"), congratulations on great work at both writing and marketing. Keep it up.

And the remainder of the top ten all deserve your and my praise and attention as well, links also embedded for ease of checking out. Good job to Ricardo Henriquez("The Catcher's Trap"), Scott T. Barsotti("Single Version"), Robert Wren("Ophelia, Doll"), Rachael Berkey("The Fable Hunt"), and last in this listing but most certainly not least Jamison Stone("Rune of the Apprentice").

Again, if you haven't already taken the time to check out their books, then do yourself a favor and do so now.

That's all I've got for today, but more news of myself is somewhere on the horizon.

So the Nerdist Contest has finished with five winners declared with me not one of them. I still have 48 days to make it through to the normal Inkshares funding goal. I'm not going to stop promoting and I hope that you will all continue to support me and my book. Please continue to occasionally share with your own friends and family and we'll see if I can get this published through Inkshares still. If that doesn't work out I'll be switching to self publishing once the manuscript is complete and I've gone through my own round of editing. thanks everybody.
