Happy Weekend spring heeled Ripper fans! 

Okay, I’ve reached 225 pre-orders, which means I’m only 25 from being at the Quill border and finally getting published.

 I have over 200 followers now, some of you have been very kind and purchased a copy of Louisiana Blood…others are supporting me through some kind of astral projection that keeps me motivated.  Now much as I love cosmic love, I’m still very keen prise a few more pre-orders from you and close my funding. This will allow me to just focus on editing before I hand over my manuscript to the powers that be on INKSHARES.

The next 25 pre-orders get not only an entry into the $100 raffle but also a copy of the script that inspired the book.

 Why don’t I give you a mug,  a hand embroidered snuggle blanket, a Ferrari or an evening out with Brad Pitt or Kim Kardashian? 

 I’ll tell you why…because my gratitude is worth far more to your Karma than mere earthly spoils.

 I’m not going to insult your intelligence with tawdry trifles that will be consigned to a garage sale in the near future…whereas my gratitude will burn like an eternal flame forever…well, as long as I can tap at a keyboard J

 Anyway, I’m hoping that at least 25 of you with a sense of humour and a grasp of irony will splurge out and close the funding…if not for my sake, for all my friends who are now hiding from me whenever I see them in the street J

 I have been heavily supported by some authors who I have become friends with on the INKSHARES site and if you are in the reading frame of mind you can do worse than checking out their books after you have pre-ordered LOUISIANA BLOOD.

Check out Peter Ryan’s SYNC CITY and Joni Dee’s THE WOLF SHALL DWELL, both of them are fantastic examples of the thriller and mystery genre!

Pop (champagne)! Hurrah! Cheers!

whooping 252 orders means that "And The Wolf Shall Dwell" will see the light of day!

I want to thank EACH and EVERYONE of you that have ordered. This was an intense month+ and you guys made it happen, on to phase two, which means trying to get this book to a staggering 750 orders (!) which will get the big Inkshares oiled machine behind us promoting and pushing. doable? not sure, but i will give it everything i got.

On with the update:
(1)
 #250 is Yan Liu (congrats!). She will have a character named after her that will have at least one line. #251 coming milliseconds after her is Roger Potter. Since i am a affable guy -some people now would smirk (or shout) -  Roger too will have a minor character named after him. and before you condemn me as a wise-guy, even though the novel takes place mostly in London, and Roger is a fairly common English name, there was no Roger thus far. There will be now (congrats!). 

(2)
Now that the book is a fact. I urge you (if you can afford it) to order again a "Spymaster" which is 3 REAL BOOKS. This will automatically get you in the Patron List inside the book for all of eternity .
Btw - all pre-ordered physical books come signed, and whoever meets me later on with his copy (or send it to me), will get a personalized message next to the signature, so stop asking me to do it, i humbly would do all 750 copies if it gets me there ;-)

Huge thanks to Vicki Goodwin who featured "And The Wolf Shall Dwell" & Inkshares in her blog this week: https://vickgoodwin.wordpress.com/2016/04/14/new-book-publishing-concept-have-you-heard-of-inkshares/ - check out her blog, it’s fab.

There are a few books worth mentioning that are on the verge of Quill (250 orders). If you liked Inkshares, the concept & you like thrillers. Please consider ordering Louisiana Blood by Mike Donald. An excellent thriller, trust me I’ve read some of it.

That’s it for now.. very excited here and again huge thanks to all... to celebrate I have two baths to run and diapers to change (LOL just kidding) ..
keep sending it to people you know - let’s shoot for 750 with your amazing help. You guys rock!

- Joni/Jonathan/Yoni/Jon anyway you want it tonight is fine by me.

Greetings Jackolytes,

Elan Samuel at The Warbler was good enough to include me as a featured author on his well-respected blog. You can check the article at Featured Author: Peter Ryan While you are there take a look and perhaps subscribe – he does great work!

For those of you that are still yet to pre-order, you can help the drive for 300. You can find the Sync City link here. Feel free to share it with others!

Cheers,

Peter
