Seamus Scanlon liked an update for Disintegration

Hello, everyone.

I know it's been ages since my last update. I haven't had much to say, so I've been reluctant to mince words just to send something out.

I've been working almost every day on the manuscript and I have been giddy with excitement over how it is coalescing into exactly the story I want to tell. To all of you that have supported Disintegration so far, thank you again. That support has been the catalyst for my inspiration. However, with regard to my goals on Inkshares, I have further yet to go.

I spoke with Jeremy about the impending end of my campaign and how, when it arrived, I would qualify for Quill ... but Disintegration will need more than a "light edit"; it needs the works. The manuscript is epic and--while it can definitely be pared down--the more eyes on it, the better; the more rounds of editing, the better; the more professional the packaging, the better.

So, if you look at my book page, you'll notice that the Quill option has been removed. I didn't know that was going to be the result of my talks with Jeremy ... and seeing the safety net be taken away was a little frightening ... but it's just an exclamation point on that a fully funded campaign is the only way for Disintegration to truly be successful.

Additionally, we've opted to go with a paperback, which decreases the price ... which, I hope, makes Disintegration more enticing to anyone who has yet to purchase it.

On that note, more orders are crucial. If you have already supported me, and if that support indicates that you really believe in my book, please help me generate more sales. Share it with your sci-fi loving friends who aren't yet aware of it. Go tell it on the mountain.

The eBook option is now only ten bucks. The paperback is $20. I'm only halfway to fully funded, so your help is critical. If you can get just one person to buy a copy -- if all of my followers do the same -- we'll be knocking on the door of that fully funded campaign tomorrow.

Please help me to fully realize Disintegration's potential.

Thanks,

Steve

Hey, everybody. I've got a lot of credits to spare. If you'd like your book funded or purchased, I'm willing to trade orders. Leave a comment in reply to this update, if you'd like to swap.

Good afternoon, true believers. If it worked for Stan Lee, maybe it'll work for me.

Disintegration is four readers away from the 200 mark. I will draw, for the 200th reader, whichever character they choose. So, if you haven't yet signed up ... do so now! In addition to helping the book get published, you'll also get something no one else will have!

Additionally, to anyone who has already bought a copy, if you have someone who will also purchase my book, I'll wind up just shy of the 750-copy eBook goal, and in much better shape to deliver the product for which there has already been such great support.

We're not there yet, though; I need continued help to get there. Please recruit those around you to join in and bring Disintegration to life.

Excelsior!

Good Friday to you all.

While the book we're chasing, in 17th, may have changed, the goal has not. Only eight more pre-orders and we'll tie Paul's wonderful book "Ghosts of War" for total readers.

If I had my druthers, we'd all meet our goals and -- after this competition ends next week -- I've got a lot of credits to spread around and I will spend them on the books I most believe in. For now, though, it's a battle, and I'd like to gain as much ground in the standings as I can before Wednesday, when the contest is all over but for the crying (however, that is not the end of the road; the campaign continues and I'm soldiering on, like Ray and his cadre, until this campaign succeeds. Comma dammit.)

To steal from Mr. Wren, please visit and like the Disintegration book page on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Disintegration-998625990157775/timeline/ It behooves me to have as large a social media presence as possible, and you can help me with that.

Can we drum up at least 8 orders today? Sure we can; you've all been huge to this point.The great thing about momentum is that it's harder to stop than it is to encourage, so let's keep in going, eh? If you, personally. get just one person to pre-order my book today, that will make a huge difference.

Thank you, as ever.

Hey, everybody.

Inkshares just posted an article about the top-20 ... using last week's top-20. Neither my nor Landon Crutcher's novels are featured in this post, which means two books that aren't on the leaderboard anymore will get a boost in visibility that his and mine will not.

The only way to combat this is to keep forging ahead!

I've been informed that Inkshares will do another one of these later this week (which is a bit of a bummer since the contest will be nearly over by then), and the only way to get in on it is to stay in the top-20 through this week.

I don't expect any of the other authors to sit idle over these next 8 days, so we can't either.

Please continue to promote and share and let's keep climbing ... because, if they do feature me in the next one, I want to be sure I still have the spot ... and I definitely don't want another author who may have made a big push to have to miss out on their chance at publicity.

Onward and upward!
