Hello everyone! This space has been a little quiet since launch - but I wanted to update you on some cool things that are happening, new reviews, wheedle some more help out of you, and talk a little about the future.

• AMOD on Kirkus.com! - The Lighter Side of Science Fiction and Fantasy . Top of the list, son - and it has nothing to do with the alphabet, I’m sure.

• New review on The Warbler. - "Asteroid Made of Dragons is a self-aware, funny, and action-packed novel that is basically a Dungeons and Dragons adventure in delicious prose. It is absurd and delightful, with a great cast of characters, fun set pieces, and suffused with a larger-than-fantasy-life essence that punctuates every page of the book."

• My Publisher’s Weekly review, because I’ll never be tired of linking it.

• Speaking of reviews - I still NEED YOURS on Amazon and Goodreads.

• Crazy milestone - as of about a week ago, we have sold more books than were pre-ordered, and passed what was the actual pre-order goal without the contest. Probably no one was paying attention to this but me, but I’m super relieved so Inkshares won’t feel like it got cheated.

• I want to win an award and feel like a fancy person. You can help me do that by nominating my for the first annual Dragon Award at Dragon*Con. YES IT IS A LITTLE ON THE NOSE, I DON’T CARE. Further details here. Being nominated alone would be VITAL exposure for the book, so I’d really appreciate you guys taking a moment if you don’t mind.

And now, the future? I’m bad about planning my life only so far in advance - with big horizon moments, after which there is nothing. The launch of this book was most definitely a cliff, and now I’m stumbling forward a little aimlessly. There should be more exciting things coming up about AMOD and I’ll tell you all about them as they arise, but the life cycle of a book is long. I can’t keep hovering over my various social media channels waiting for news or refreshing Goodreads and Amazon for the umpteenth time to see if a new review has popped up indefinitely. I’m going to a convention in May, that’ll be fun? I’m writing something new and that’s exciting?

Are we breaking up? Is this the end? You have what you wanted out of me, now it’s just awkward conversations and remembering the good times.

As many times as I can, I want to thank you all again. Your support has brought me to a new level, a new leg of this weird-ass writing journey. Expect much less frequent updates here - (unless something CRAZY AWESOME happens) - and come follow me on twitter @gderekadams or on my own blog spell-sword.com.
