Hello Not Afraid of the Fall team,
Now that the dust has settled from the stampede of last minute preorders that ultimately propelled us over the goal and into the land of full publishing... I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you once again.
Inkshares is unique. They take the time to find what I like to think of as "Diamonds in the rough". They give first time authors, like myself, an opportunity to prove that their book, their idea, their experience is worth the professional editing, marketing, creative direction and developing that Inkshares has to offer. They give people an opportunity to put in the time and effort required to convince people that this book is worth having on their bookshelf at home. None of this is guaranteed, it simply an opportunity.
This opportunity was very close to slipping away.
As Ashley and I watched the clock tick away Saturday, with hundreds of preorders left to reach the goal, I thought it was over. I thought that there was no possible way to obtain the same amount of preorders in ONE DAY that we had in the last FOUR MONTHS COMBINED.
Then you guys happened.
We received an overwhelming amount of support from people like you. When numerous people reached out to tell us that they were tracking the preorder bar at home, at the bar, even at weddings... I could not believe how lucky Ashley and I are to have this support.
Thank you. Thank you for not only preordering this book, but also sharing statuses, videos and the book itself to your friends and family. This is our accomplishment and I am excited to have you on the team as we continue this journey.
This is just the beginning and there is a lot of work to be done, but I am excited to see where this book will go.
I will keep you updated every step of the way on the progress of the editing, developing, marketing etc...
THANK YOU
Your inspired author,
Kyle James
My god....
Uhhhhhhh guys.... I’ll be honest with you... I did NOT think this was going to happen...
All, thank you for the support. Things have been progressing well - I HAVE MY FIRST TWO PRE ORDERS, WOOOOO HOOOOO!!!!! (lol)... I am near completion of the book... just a couple more t’s to cross and i’s to dot, lol. This has been such an interesting journey for me and I am honored that you have pledged to escort me to the finish line!!! I’ll keep you posted as it goes, thanks once again!!!

Silence. You could hear a pin drop. They had all come together in Sandra’s living room, all of them. Every family on the street. The Johnsons, the Starks, the Itos, the Seales. Even the Joneses with their new baby. There were at least 20 people sitting and standing together in the modest space, shoulder to shoulder and drinks in hand, but no-one spoke. Even Baby Jones sensed the somberness of the moment and refused to cry. . . .
