Hi all!
There are a few thing i would like to talk with you about in the weekend update...
But ! First thing first. This is now your chance to be the lucky guy who will shoot the book to being published as we are standing at the moment (Saturday 6:39 London time) on 249 orders!
*** In fact to get you guys ordering - lucky 250 will have his name featured in the novel as a minor character! so i will have to tweak things around (as i said it is already well written). ***
I will come back to update as soon as this happens!

Pop (champagne)! Hurrah! Cheers!
whooping 252 orders means that "And The Wolf Shall Dwell" will see the light of day!
I want to thank EACH and EVERYONE of you that have ordered. This was an intense month+ and you guys made it happen, on to phase two, which means trying to get this book to a staggering 750 orders (!) which will get the big Inkshares oiled machine behind us promoting and pushing. doable? not sure, but i will give it everything i got.
On with the update:
(1)
#250 is Yan Liu (congrats!). She will have a character named after her that will have at least one line. #251 coming milliseconds after her is Roger Potter. Since i am a affable guy -some people now would smirk (or shout) - Roger too will have a minor character named after him. and before you condemn me as a wise-guy, even though the novel takes place mostly in London, and Roger is a fairly common English name, there was no Roger thus far. There will be now (congrats!).
(2)
Now that the book is a fact. I urge you (if you can afford it) to order again a "Spymaster" which is 3 REAL BOOKS. This will automatically get you in the Patron List inside the book for all of eternity .
Btw - all pre-ordered physical books come signed, and whoever meets me later on with his copy (or send it to me), will get a personalized message next to the signature, so stop asking me to do it, i humbly would do all 750 copies if it gets me there ;-)

Huge thanks to Vicki Goodwin who featured "And The Wolf Shall Dwell" & Inkshares in her blog this week: https://vickgoodwin.wordpress.com/2016/04/14/new-book-publishing-concept-have-you-heard-of-inkshares/ - check out her blog, it’s fab.

There are a few books worth mentioning that are on the verge of Quill (250 orders). If you liked Inkshares, the concept & you like thrillers. Please consider ordering Louisiana Blood by Mike Donald. An excellent thriller, trust me I’ve read some of it.
That’s it for now.. very excited here and again huge thanks to all... to celebrate I have two baths to run and diapers to change (LOL just kidding) ..
keep sending it to people you know - let’s shoot for 750 with your amazing help. You guys rock!

- Joni/Jonathan/Yoni/Jon anyway you want it tonight is fine by me.
Thank you all for the support so far! I’m excited to launch this project—my first on Inkshares! I have one request today: please send me your pictures of bike lanes from your city. I’m gathering a collection of reader-submitted photos of bicycle infrastructure, and we’ll include your photos in the book! Please post them on Twitter and mention me in the tweet—I’m @ptraughber.
Thanks so much for your support, and I’m looking forward to seeing your photos!
