Amanda Orneck sent an update for Deus Hex Machina

Gah I was mentioned on the Sword & Laser podcast!  Deus Hex Machina is officially FAMOUS! If you haven't watched the latest episode, they interview the current top three Inkshares finalists, and then mention my book at the end.  Very exciting stuff.  I loved Craig's story about his wife and how he started writing.

We are currently at 94 orders, and the incomparable A.C. Weston has graciously decided to run a little contest in support of DHM. If we get ten more people ordering, up to 104, then she will raffle off an original inked panel she's creating from the DHM graphic novel to one of those ten people.  So awesome, I cannot handle it!  Check out just one of the awesome panels here:

She's just so good, isn't she? I was so honored when she said she wanted to try her hand at a page from the old script. This sort of makes me want to update the script with the changes from the novel and get the whole thing drawn...but novel first! Focus Mandie!

Anyway, if you want a chance be one of the next ten people to order the DHM!  

Lastly, we are halfway to my next novel giveaway raffle, and only 65 orders away from 5th place. I know it seems like a long way to go, but we have a lot of followers so maybe these two contests will pull some lurkers out of the woodwork. I would love nothing more than to end this contest in 5th and maybe even 4th place. I think it's important to have a woman in the top five, don't you?

Alright, I hope I get the chance to do a raffle drawing today, so I'll say see ya later rather than goodbye.  Cheers!

    Ah hah! We hit 90 readers!  That means I get to give away a signed copy of Shadow of the Owl!  

    Congrats to...Dan Holth!  Dan was kind enough to be my second Super Reader, and it looks like the multiple books ordered worked in his favor because the dice rolled in his favor this fine winter day.

    Now it's early yet, so I am eager to see if we can get to the next raffle today.  Can we get 10 more people to jump on board by the end of the day? 

    *crosses fingers and toes* Oh I hope so!

      Today's update is a short one. I just wanted to remind those that are following the book that there are three days left in the Sword & Laser the Sequel contest, and Deus Hex Machina is only three people away from 6th place. Only ONE order away from our next giveaway!  Gah! I want to give away a book today! Can we do that please??

      I'm still plugging along on chapter 2 (very slowly as I'm not seeing much interest on the preorder side for me to rush on it. That very well could change though, in an instant. After all, there are books out there that are selling 100s of copies in a DAY. Seriously, preorder this book nao. Dot com. Might as well see if she can fund in a week. That would be amazing.

      I am still holding out hope that those that are following the book are interested enough to take the plunge and preorder it today. If you do, we just might get this book published. Isidore and Dax are in your hands now. Treat them well.
