Things are going great! I only need 16 more of you fine citizens to order that haven't already, and we'll be in 10th out of 245! And from there, it's a gradual climb to 5th place. Remember you don't pay now. You pay if I win. Excerpt 3 dropping soon.

Hey, people! As it turns out, sometimes nice things happen when you do okay (and the inevitable corruption that comes with power has not yet set in)! 

For example, I'm included in this article on the Inkshares blog, Book Recommendations from the Top 10 Authors in the Nerdist Collection Contest. (Somebody tell me you got my Liz Lemon joke. Please?)

And Joe Terzieva, winner of the last contest on Inkshares, mentioned my project video on his blog post about what works in an Inkshares campaign. I can't quite claim that the video is helping me win, since I'm... not winning... but still!

Finally, next week, I'll be featured on John Robin's World Builders blog series - keep an eye out for the link to my interview! It looks like it's going to be a really cool series. It doesn't matter where you are in the contest; connecting with other authors will help you with your craft. Check it out, follow John's blog, and maybe that post will entice you to order C. Brennecke's Seven Shards: The Colors of Wine.

I'm really excited about all the new authors I'm meeting and I have waaaaay too many books I want to read now. I hope you do, too.

Thanks, everyone who has pre-ordered. Really. And if you know anyone who might be interested in pre-ordering She Is the End, send them the link to my video and I'll sell them on it so you don't have to! :)
