Thomas J. Arnold liked an update for The Catcher's Trap

Hello Friends!

This picture was taking 15 years ago, in October of 2001. I had just arrived in the country, and I was full of hopes and dreams.

Unfortunately, soon I learned that my degree in journalism was looked at less because I had got it in a different country. I also learned that my broken English made me unqualified even for a retail job. So I started washing dishes, earning $7.5 an hour.

I am telling you this story because I want you to understand the impact that your support is having. Either if you pay $30, $9.99, $5 or if you bought the book with Inkshares credits, taking a chance on me has completely changed my life.

I am proud of myself, and I want to present to you a book that I will be proud to share. So I will be working hard with the Inkshares team to turn The Catcher’s Trap in the best version of itself.

The day The Doctor invites me for a ride in his Tardis, I will ask him to take me back to the day I took that picture, just so I can tell that kid, “hold on because it will be bumpy and hard, but it all will work out in the end.”

 

Love

Ricardo

    Great read. See foe yourself.
    The Fable Hunt
    A sleepy town, a couple of readers, and a fairy on a quest to save stories from extinction. Will they find new sources of inspiration or will books die out forever?

    Thank you all for being awesome and supporting The Fable Hunt! We're down to the last 18 days of funding! Some cool things have happened and continue to happen including some Inkshares updates! 

    First: The changes coming to Inkshares in no way affect the price of the copy of The Fable Hunt that you have already pre-bought! Yay!

    Second: At 3pm ET today, Inkshares will be updating their funding model. The plus side of this is that instead of needing to sell 1000 copies to get a physical book made, I only have to sell 750. The down side of this is that I still have 222 copies to sell to get there at 3pm ET the entry level price goes from $9.99 to $20. 

    What this all means is that you should totally grab a cheap copy today while you still can if you're someone who is following The Fable Hunt but hasn't purchased yet! Also, tell your friends that today is the last day of the deep discount. Yeah do that! 

    I'm going to give a Twitter shout out and #FF (that's Follow Friday for the folks not on Twitter) to each and every person who buys 1 or more copies between now and 3pm ET. Spread the word!

    (I'm also going to upload another chapter to the draft at 3pm today so keep an eye out for that.)

    xo
