So I have some news.

After a lot of thought I have switched the format of Ghosts of War from hardcover to paperback. This was done for several reasons, chief among them being the cost.

It's now $20 for the paperback of Ghosts of War for new backers, with free US shipping and $15 International shipping.

Now for those Internationals, you may not want to pay the $15 in shipping for the paperback, but fret not! Inkshares has implemented an awesome new tier that's just for an ebook. You'll find it labelled 'Recruit' on the Ghosts of War project page.

The price for a single ebook is $10, and of course there's no delivery charge. So if you've been hesitant due to the postage, now there's an option just for you.

Lastly, a bit of an update on the writing front: NaNoWriMo 2015 is going along well. I'm about a day behind on word count, sitting somewhere around 23,500 words. I'd like to say all that's fully developed prose, but a good chunk of it is my rewritten outlines for the remaining chapters and some for book 2. 

I know you're not supposed to count outlines for NaNo, but what can I say, I'm a rebel.

Happy Friday everyone! Tony here with another DAX HARRISON update. This is an important one.

Inkshares has been paying close attention to the community of authors and readers, and in an effort to help more authors reach their goal, 2 weeks ago they introduced a much more attainable 250 pre-order goal to publish, BUT with the caveat of upping the book price to $20.

As it has proven a bit tougher to convince people to pre-order a $20 book rather than a $10 one, Inkshares has now added another option: ebook only!

Still want to help me get DAX HARRISON published, but don't have a whole $20 to spend? Simply order the ebook for $10! That still counts just as much toward the publishing goal of 250 pre-orders! And if you really, really want that gorgeous signed 1st edition paperback to hold in your hands, then by all means order the $20 version. You'll get the paperback AND the ebook! :)

IMPORTANT NOTICE: These price changes do not affect anyone who has already ordered their copy. Your orders are already locked in and you have nothing to worry about. What you CAN do however is keep spreading the word! As of today, I have 44 days left to reach that 250 mark. That's 128 copies that still need to be sold! It's doable, but not without your help.

If you haven't already shared with your book-loving friends, family members, neighbors, coworkers, teachers, students, favorite barista at your local coffee shop, please do so. I made a handy flyer which I've been putting up in cafes, coffee houses and comic shops in my neck of the woods. Want to put one up at your favorite local cafe? Local book store? Other cool place that sci-fi fans and book readers might take notice? CLICK HERE TO PRINT A FLYER!

And finally, if your dear old Granny really wants to help but doesn't know how to do all that silly newfangled computer nonsense, be a dear and order for her. :)

As always, I apologize for my exceedingly long-winded updates. I am trying to be an author here... Haha...
