Just in case twenty people haven't already told you, we're down to the last day of the Sword & Laser Collection Contest. If you were waiting until the last minute to pick your favorite, wait no longer – the end is nigh. You must pre-order before noon PST Jan 15th for your vote to count.

That doesn't mean that this is the end for these books, however. Most of the non-winning books will continue their funding drives for several weeks, myself included. While it would be cool to get the S&L seal of approval, I think I speak for all the writers here in saying that selling 250 copies and getting in the Quill collection would be a damn fine consolation prize. So use up those credits or dig in the couch cushions. Help support one of the great writers here at Inkshares.

Dear Readers,

You amazing, fantastic, beautiful humans!!! WE DID IT!!!!! WE DID IT IN 3 DAYS!!!!!! Do you know how wonderful you are? You made my dream come true today, and I am grateful beyond measure!

Today is a day of great hope. There have been far too many times in my life, and in yours I'm sure, where others have told you that my dream was impossible.  That I weren't smart enough, strong enough or good enough for my dream to come to fruition.  It happened to me while I was healing after this accident, it happened while I was pitching this book - and both times I considered giving up.  But luckily, somewhere inside of me there was this well of hope that wouldn't let me give up - and here I am living, walking and going to publish a book! 

Please take a good hard look at what happened over the last three days, and know in your heart that no matter what anyone else says - there is always hope. 

Also, if you have a minute, can you give yourself the BIGGEST hug. The hug is from me, and make it a good one, because I REALLY mean it.

Love,

Katie
