Hi Wolf followers! 

Closing two weeks with no updates (my laptop found a good time to get broken!) & a month of campaigning!! A lot of exciting things have happened since you last heard from me:

First, we have reached 174 preorders (which is 70% from being published and 23% from a full Inkshares contract)

Second, we had orders from Inkshares’ thriller queen Kris Calvin & newly Quill author, the inspiring Caroline Reber - please check out their books by clicking on their names. 

Finally, Chapter 4 has been edited by me roughly 700 times, and is now all set to be released to the public (I initially thought that it reveals too much of the plot-line so skipped straight to 5, but I soften a bit since... age does its thing i guess). It will be released when we hit the milestone of 200 pre-orders. I do need a couple of volunteers to proofread... email me at ydital@gmail.com if you are interested.

Also - may i please ask that each of you with spare 5 minutes, instead of going to Ynet, Twitter/Face Book or shopping on Next (UK parents will relate) - will find ONE person to preorder my book? just one person. In return, I would personally buy you and this person coffee and will engage in a 40 minutes conversation with you/him/her about any subject of your choice* (is this a prize or punishment you ponder...)

Thanks (US) / Toda (ILS) / Cheers (UK)

Greetings Jackolytes,

We are storming ever closer to the 250 mark with fewer than 10 pre-orders required. Jack would love to ride into existence before the weekend is out, and I’d love some new readers to come along. The necessary conditions are simple: computer, credit card and cognizant. Does this sound like anyone you know? Does this sound like you? You can find Jack at: www.inkshares.com/books/sync-city It’d also be cool if you could share this link with those around you. As always, you can get hold of me at blooryan@hotmail.com .

Cheers,

Peter

Lila’s head snapped back with an ugly popping sound, and Charley swore loud enough to be heard over the thundering speaker he stood next to. Fingers scrambling over his controller, he fought to get his android fighter back on her feet, but it was pointless.

We’d lost this round.

Now that it’s not April 1st, here is the REAL World Builders post on the world of Blood Dawn. I hope you all enjoyed the parody version. And if anyone is disappointed that the new Blood Dawn cover doesn’t actually have the Flying Spaghetti Monster on it, never fear -- I’m saving the file for a special limited time edition perhaps some April 1st down the road.

Okay now, seriously, check this post out because I think I captured the story of the world in miniature in a powerful way. And while you’re there, you can also check out the previous World Builders 2.0 posts where I’ve had the pleasure of featuring the worlds of other great authors like Amanda Orneck, Andrew Wood, R. Heinz, Melissa Berg, G. Derek Adams, C. Brennecke, Brian Guthrie, and more!

It seems the previous post links are a little too bloody for the servers...so please use these.

Hi there knife wielding swamp sucking fans of the greatest conspiracy ever uncovered!  Hot news!  LOUISIANA BLOOD has now been picked by two syndicates as book of the month!

 In March it was selected by The Idiosyncraticate Syndicate, a great bunch of enthusiasts who believe that there is a place for innovative thrillers and mysteries to hold their own against alien zombie monsters on the moon Sci-Fi space operas…join up by signing in HERE!

And now, The Thriller Night Syndicate, supporting works with elements of thriller, mystery, crime and spy fiction has voted Louisiana Blood book of the month for April!  You can join up by going HERE! 

What does this mean? I hear you cry, as you interrupt a pleasent evenings dismemberment…

 Well, it means I’m only a short blood spurt from reaching the Quill publishing goal of 250 pre-orders. 

 I reckon by the time you read this update I will be sidling towards 200…which means I only need 50 or so followers to pre-order.

Now as there are approximately 180 of you, that only means less than a third of you have to put your mojitos down, slither off your recliners, scoop up your Ipads (Other sexy computer tablets are available.) and tap a talon on the book cover below.  

Within seconds you can be back to your mojito and I can be sharpening my book-signing quill.  Don’t forget you’ll also get the Louisiana Blood bonus script AND, an entry into the raffle to win $100!  Hit HERE and help a murderous author out!

What are you waiting for?  Brimming with anticipatory thanks, Mike.
