Greetings Jackolytes,

Fantastic news! I recently received an email telling me the weight of the Inkshares CEO Syndicate was being thrown behind Sync City - to this syndicate, a heartfelt thank you! Personally, the CEO Syndicate support is tremendously gratifying, but the real part of me knows this would not have been possible without the initial support of more than 100+ readers. You people put the crowd into crowdfunding and your support has been invaluable - a heartfelt thank you to you all as well. There have also been a number of people who have jumped on the back of the Jack Trevayne ride and pushed me along.

To Joe Asphahani, author of world building The Animal in Man www.inkshares.com/books/the-animal-in-man-7699 thanks for kicking me in the ass, getting me moving and offering me encouragement.

To Billy O’Keefe, author of the hilarious These Are My friends on Politics www.inkshares.com/books/these-are-my-friends-on-politics-0985?referral code=fd744cal   thanks for showing me the crowdfunding ropes and putting up with my emails.

To Mike Donald, author of the Jack the Ripper-based Louisiana Blood www.inkshares.com/books/louisiana-blood-a-chandler-travis-and-duke-lanoix-mystery?referral code+2c27906f thanks for the positive emails and recommendations.

To Mike Haase, author of the exciting space opera The Madness of Mr. Butler www.inkshares.com/books/the-madness-of-mr-butler?referralcode code=26dce7a3 and William Schiele, author of the thrilling Tears of the Assassin www.inkshares.com/books/tears-of-the-assassin?referral code=f7d54200 thank you for your ongoing support.

If you are looking for a good read, then follow the above links, these authors know how to write!

Finally, the job is far from done. Jack is astride his ride and revving, but more pre-orders are needed. If you can bring others on board: friends, family, co-workers, that would be great. Feel free to click on the following link and re-pre-order or, better yet, bring some new folks into the Sync City  fold: www.inkshares.com/books/sync-city?referral  code=9f560b73  And if you are following me, but have yet to pre-order, it would be fantastic if you could do so. If you have any questions regarding Sync City, drop me an email at blooryan@gmail.com

Thanks again.

Peter

So, in a previous update, I mentioned the upcoming Blood Dawn promotional event, Blood Dawn Risk, to help boost John Robin’s project in its final days of support before the year long funding period ends.  At the time, I hadn’t been told if I could start garnering actual orders to raise support of my dragon, Branakataurai, in the battle as it unfolds.  I know have been given the go ahead.

So, here’s the deal.  Please go to this page and preorder a copy.  Be sure to let me know if you did.  Why?  Well, as an added incentive, I’ve got three games on Steam I’m giving away to the first three people who do so and let me know they did.  I need to know so I can make sure John Robin knows who is supporting which dragon in the battle!  What games am I giving away, you ask?  So glad you did.  Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (one of the best in the Star Wars video game legacy), Star Wars Dark Forces (I played the crap out of this in college; such nostalgia over this one), and Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (a sequel to the previous game made several years later).  First one in gets their choice of the three!  Why am I giving away these games?  Well, for one, I already own all of them!  Shows you right there what I think of them.  But, in truth, I supported a charity by purchasing a bunch of games through a vendor that donates to them.  Some of you may be familiar with them, Humble Bundle.  These games were in the package so in a way, you’re helping support charity.  Or you’re reaping the benefits of me doing so.  Whichever works for you.  But you have to order Mr. Robin’s book first!

What are you still doing here?  Go get his book pre-ordered!
