Two updates. Two days in a row. Yes, it's reached that, hasn't it.
All, thank you for the support. The draft is over 75% completed. I hope you like what you have seen so far. I would appreciate hearing what you think.
Holy. Moly. You wonderful, generous readers! Thank you so much for taking the time to read, comment, and purchase How to Get Run Over by a Truck! With your incredible support we have been able to pre-sell 375 copies of this memoir in less than 36 hours!
Although I am over the moon about the number of copies that have sold, what I am even more moved by is the number of you who have reached out to share your own "truck" story. Many of you have told me that the first chapter spoke to you, inspired you and even made you feel less alone. I am so grateful for your generosity of spirit, and for believing in this project, and in me! With your support, I know that we will achieve the goal of 750 pre-sales!
Thank you so much! This has been an incredible 36 hours, and its all because of you!!
Heart,
Katie


Hello Everyone!
Wow, the holidays sure did fly by this year didn't they? One minute I was eating five meals a day to train my stomach for the onslaught of Thanksgiving (It takes dedication), the next I am trying to find space in my house for the sweaters my grandma gave me for Christmas.
I wanted to share some exciting news with my "Not Afraid of the Fall" family! We have reached the 250 preorder mark and are 1/3 of the way to 750!! I cannot thank you enough for your support. By preordering this book, you are helping me reach a dream of mine and I cannot wait for you to read about the many successes and mishaps of our journey. From moped crashes in multiple continents, to Buddhist rituals performed on us from 90 year old Shamans, you are in for quite a journey.
I am getting a bit ahead of myself here...we still have a long way to go to reach 750 preorders. I still need your help spreading the word and sharing the book with friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, mailmen and pets (Animals use wifi by now right? I saw both a dog surfing and an elephant painting on Facebook yesterday. If they aren't preordering books yet I would be amazed...)
Just think, if everyone reading this shared the book with just TWO people, we would reach our goal of 750! (I know I know... but this type of math helps me sleep at night).
LASTLY, (I am sure only 32% of you have made is this far) remember to let people know that when creating an account on Inkshares, they receive a $5 credit towards any book. This makes the price of an E-book only $5!!
You guys really are amazing people for supporting an aspiring writer. Not to mention, what better way to start off a new year than to build your 401-Karma account.
Cheers my friends,
Kyle James
Ah hah! We hit 90 readers! That means I get to give away a signed copy of Shadow of the Owl!
Good morning everyone,
Lies and Deception is now at 99 copies pre ordered. wow that is amazing !!!
We are also at 3 readers away from our first raffle ; a 50 $ gift card of the winners choice. I cannot say how much I am happy right now, of course I will not win the Sword and Laser contest but I am getting one step closer to Quill.
I am doing this book, as I always wanted to write a good story and also want to prove to my children that you can achieve anything if you work hard and believe in yourself. When they will be older and I will be an aged man they will be able to say here is the book my father wrote... one book, maybe more.
Again if you like what I am doing, please recommend to your friend and family.
thank you once more from my children and I :)
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??
