Dave Barrett liked an update for Ghosts of War

Hey everyone,

Ghosts of War has seen quite a bit of growth in the last few days and we've hit a few milestones. We passed 100 orders (109 in fact), and passed 60 unique readers up to 64. 

Most exciting of all we're super close to 200 followers on the Ghosts of War project page. Why's that exciting you ask? Well for one it means almost 200 of you lovely people have shown an interest in my work, but there is one other thing it means.

We can win this.

Okay, so maybe not outright win it right now, but bear with me. 

  • Right now Ghosts has 198 followers, if the 134 that are yet to back the project do so, Ghosts will leap up to 7th in the rankings.
  • Ghosts will then only be 10 or so readers out of the Top 5
  • If each of the 198 were to then get just ONE other person to buy a copy, that would rocket into 1st with 396 people .

Now I realise that it's probably not realistic to expect everyone to do that, but at the very least if we can get all followers on board and just a third of them get someone else, Ghosts will be in the top 5.

So if you haven't backed Ghosts yet, I want to strongly urge you to do so. I promise that in backing this book you'll be getting a fun and enjoyable experience, and not only that you'll be making an immeasurable difference in my life.

Now if you're a fellow Inkshares author in this Nerdist competition following Ghosts, you might be wondering 'What's in this for me?' Well I can answer that pretty definitively.

If you back my book, I will back yours. It's that simple. 

We're all in this together, and there's no reason we can't all help each other to the goal. If you've already backed my book, and have a book in the contest that I haven't ordered, let me know on twitter (@robo3687) and I'll sort it out.

So that's all for now, I hope you'll all consider helping to push Ghosts to the top of the Nerdist contest. We have the numbers to do it.

Look for an update over the weekend with some of those character details I said I'd be doling out. Should be some fun behind the scenes goodness.

Until next time guys.

    Dave Barrett liked an update for Beneath White Clouds

    Got my first Big Lifter! No, not the biomechanoids introduced in chapter 2, but my first 3-book order! Cuz that's what brothers are for. Thanks, Billy Landreneau! If this book hits its goal and gets an Inkshares publication run, you'll  be at the top of the list of Big Lifters acknowledged in the book!

    Jealous? Don't let it get you down. Just Be Like Billy.

      Dave Barrett liked an update for 3point8

      Friends, Readers, Cryptids,

      We’ve got a very cool, and extremely unique, update for you all today.  A talent author, by the name of Paul Inman, was kind enough to record an audio excerpt from 3point8.  It’s pretty amazing to see someone’s take on the material.  Check it out here!

      Also, make sure to check out Paul’s other projects on Inkshares.  His book, Ageless, is currently in production and available to pre-order.  He’s also the coauthor of MOTOR CITY CHRONICLES - BOOK ONE: TRANSGRESSION   which you can support on Inkshares right now as well.

      Be sure to check his stuff out, I know I’ll be ordering both projects…and, as always, 3point8 is available for pre-order here.


      Linksapalooza!

        Dave Barrett liked an update for I Think You Dropped This

        All, thank you for the support. Things have been progressing well...

        I just got my 10th preorder (Thanks to Scott Early... I hope you don't mind the name drop) and that feels pretty amazing!  I hope this trend keeps going.  I hope the audience for my book finds it, or that it finds it audience.  You all have been great with the support and well wishing and preorders and pretending that my jokes are funny.  
        To commemorate this milestone I've updated the cover for I Think You Dropped This.  The original was meant to have been drawn by Becca, the second focal character you're introduced to.  The new one has my is more of a cover than an illustration based out of my design aesthetic.  For those of you that don't know I'm a designer, but prefer writing.  
        Please help get the word out, I'm so very grateful.  
        Also, thanks Dave for pointing out about the confirmation subject line for my book.  That made me laugh almost too hard.  I hope many more get the opportunity for the laugh.

        Cheers!

          Dave Barrett liked an update for U-Turn at Next Synapse

          Wow, inkshares has updated the listing to include the top 15 spots and I am only three spots away from grappling onto that 15th rung. There is also now a Facebook Page for my book: https://www.facebook.com/uturnscifinovel Like! the page if you have not done so already, and be sure to recommend the book to anyone and everyone you can think of. If there are any passages you particular like on the Excerpt or other chapters, let Inkshares know. There are amazing writers and some spectacular novels out there, so I feel overwhelmed to be flying around with them. It is amazing. Let's see if we can get this thing really off the ground, and if you have not pre-ordered yet, then I encourage you to do so.

            The Nerdist Inkshares Top 10 article is out! The Nerdist Inkshares Top 10 article is out! Life is not a meaningless lie!

            Just kidding. Still, though! It's nice. 

            DID YOU KNOW that there's an Inkshares book close to reaching 1,000 pre-orders? THIS IS EXCITING. Trekonomics! Go pre-order it!!!

            And... hey... want a hint of the secret cool thing we're doing because we obviously have a ton of spare time? You know you do...

            Aaaand now you know whether or not Cara can keep a secret. (She cannot.)

            Thank you to everyone who has pre-ordered! To those who have not: reconsider! 

            And have a wonderful weekend, either way. :)

            Cara
