Hi Everyone, 

Firstly, the (very) exciting news: ALL THE KING’S TRAITORS IS OUT IN PAPERBACK AND EBOOK ON AMAZON! On the site, it is sitting in the top 2000 books in Canada right now and I need your help to get it to the top 100! 

Amazon (CA): https://www.amazon.ca/All-Kings-Traitors-Highwings-Book/dp/1999008812/ 

Amazon (USA): https://www.amazon.com/All-Kings-Traitors-Highwings-Book/dp/1999008812/ 

Now that that’s out of the way, onto the more boring stuff (haha). This will probably be one of my final communications though Inkshares. If you would like to keep receiving bookish updates please consider signing up for my newsletter where you will be the first to get access to advanced reader copies and exclusive content: http://eepurl.com/gvScND 

Or follow me on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/authorkeylinrivers/ 

As you know, Inkshares has refunded your donations as the campaign was not successful (if you didn’t check for your refund last time I emailed, please do, should be sometime around February). 

I did want to take the opportunity to thank each and everyone of you, even though this campaign was unsuccessful (again, make sure you got your refund) your support meant everything. 

As a thank you, I wanted to offer free ebooks (in the kindle format) to those who are interested. To claim your free ebook send me an email at keylinrivers@gmail.com and I can walk you through the process of getting ATKT on your kindle. 

For all of those who donated in the month of December, even though the campaign failed, we still made the donation to plant some trees! Thanks to all of you, California has 98 more trees, you can watch the video here (tree planting donation is at the end of the video at 6:52): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLF9vJ12ru4&t=363s 

You folks are what started all of this, and your support is so appreciated! 

Happy reading everyone, 

Keylin

Good morning, everyone! In the past 10 hours, we have shot past the 350 pre-order mark thanks to the support of old and new. A shout out to our new supporters: The TIE Ottawa crew (Bharat R., Sanjeev S., Kevin F. and Bernie F.), as well as Julian M., Greg M., Janet F., Jantine V., Cindy P., Ricky R., Samantha G. and Rosemary S.

This already-extended campaign is due to end this Friday evening -- the Ides of March, no less. Hopefully this date proves more auspicious for me than it did for Julius Caesar!

Achieving 356 pre-orders is an amazing milestone, but still not a guarantee that I will earn a contract offer from Inkshares. As I announced last week, Bane of All Things was Inkshares Staff Syndicate pick for February. I have also been asked about the state of my manuscript. These are both very good signs that have my fingers crossed.

Now more than ever I need your help to finish strong. Any and all last-minute support matters. I also want to give a shout out to existing supporters who have stepped up in recent days to pre-order additional copies or enlist others to the cause: Francis M., Ian G., Bryan Y., Howard C., Megan A., Yves B., Elle P. and Jacqui C.

If you haven’t already, please lend me your support with a pre-order. If you have a few dollars more to pre-order another ebook copy, please do. And if you have anyone in mind you could also recruit to the cause, now is the time. Those prize draws I promised last time are still pending!

This whole endeavour wouldn’t be anywhere without you. I am truly humbled by the support and encouragement you have all so graciously given.

Cheers

Leo Valiquette

Today is the last day for orders on Inkshares and although we did not meet the preorder goal, I do have some very exciting news. 

First and foremost though, I wanted to thank each and everyone of you for your incredible support. I feel so fortunate to be surrounded by people who have rallied around HIGHWINGS. One of my absolute favourite things about this whole experience has been connecting with you all. I feel so blessed.

Secondly, a few house keeping items:

- Once this funding period expires you should receive your refund promptly from Inkshares. If you have any issues please contact Inkshares at hello@inkshares.com.

- Ben Ger was the winner of the $50 Amazon gift card draw! Ben, please send me an email (keylinrivers@gmail.com) or a Facebook message.

- The video of the donation to One Tree Planted (we raised $98) will be posted on my YouTube channel in the next couple weeks (subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/c/keylinrivers)

Lastly, I promised you all a book, so you will get a book! HIGHWINGS will be hitting the shelves this summer. Stay tuned for the pre-order campaign.
