We have hit the one-ninth point of the campaign! That's kind of a weird milestone, but my point is that 10 days have passed and we have hit 30 pre-orders! If this is the course we're going on, then we're going to hit the goal of 250 easily. However, I'm going to keep pushing so we can gain even more momentum and blast past that 250 in no time!
If you haven't yet, remember to pre-order here! --http://bit.ly/1nsjihD
Now that the Sword and Laser Contest is over, I've done what any person would do without a lick of sense when it comes to marketing: updated my book's cover and provided more information about it in the form of a synopsis.
Would it have helped generate more interest in Transilience during the contest? Maybe. I dunno. The past is the past. Insert more platitudes.
What matters most is that the earnest belief these additions will generate interest and enthusiasm about Transilience for the remainder of its funding campaign. I need to convince a whole lot of people to part with their money in the next 49 days. Money well spent. That much is certain. Nonetheless, this is the powerball and therefore requires a tad more persuading.
Here is the cover in a much larger format.
Okay...that was really big! I can't seem to resize the image either. Are you still here???
Good!
The blurb in the top righthand corner may seem out of place when compared to what else you may have read with regards to Transilience. Rest assured, it fits perfectly. The idea of legacies forms the central theme of the novel. It is what ties the two cases together and ultimately allows the reader to assess the values and morals of the characters, and perhaps even the world in which we inhabit.
One final thing before I sign off.
I would like to thank my buddies, Mike and He-who-shall-not-be-named, for the generosity in supporting Transilience. I have known these guys for a very long time and shared in some pretty astounding adventures in real life and fictive/virtual world. Simply uttering the word "Shar" will bring back a flood of memories about a D&D session that was simultaneously some of the worst story-telling I ever subjected anyone to, and the most memorable. And it was in the unforgiving jungles of Chult with Mike that I experienced my one and only TPK. I am very happy and proud to have your names listed in Transilience.
Cheers!
Kevin
