Hi everyone!  Sorry for the long delay between updates.  Or perhaps you're welcome for the long delay between updates if you're sick of spam email from Inkshares.  Either way works.

So today is the last full day of the Nerdist Novel Contest, and I want to thank all of you one more time for supporting me throughout this process.  I've no doubt taxed the patience of many of you, and I'm grateful for your indulgence.

I don't want to jinx us, but at least as of right now WE ARE IN THE TOP FIVE!  IT'S ALL FUN AND GAMES IS GOING TO COME TO LIFE!

Of course this is a great opportunity for me to toss out one last request to those of you "following" the book who have not yet clicked the preorder button.  There's about a hundred of you - that's a lot!  If you're going to suffer through my update emails you may as well get something out of it!

This is also a good opportunity for one last request for you to spread the word about the book.  Do you know someone who enjoys a fun fantasy, or has a kid who does?  Andrew read it at 8, Danielle at 10, and my friend Bobbie's son read it at 12 or so.  In the words of my friend and HS English Teacher J Pappas, "It deserves to be published."  Why not suggest they get in now when the preorder is free rather than later when they have to shell out real money?

Look for another update once things have been finalized within the contest and the ts crossed and is dotted with Inkshares.  In the meanwhile, I will leave you with some endorsements of my book over the last week or so.  At least I hope I will.  I've never used this editor before.

Cheers

Dave
