In seven short days we will be in the last few hours of the Nerdist Collection contest.

Thanks to everyone who has been part of keeping 'A God in the Shed' going in the past month or so. It's humbling to see that there are over 200 people who believe in me or this book sufficiently to support it and nearly 300 that are at least curious enough to keep their fingers on the pulse of the campaign.

However, if we want to see this book make it to the top 5, and we do, we're going to have to find more readers. A lot of them.

• For those of you who haven't pre-ordered a copy yet, your path is clear and you have a simple purpose; click the pre-order button. You won't regret it. The very worst that can happen is that you'll have spent maybe 10$ on a book you didn't enjoy as much as you thought. That's an unlikely scenario however. This story is good and the characters are fun. More likely you'll have participated in getting a short series of books off the ground that you'll enjoy in the coming years. Think of how good that will feel!

• If you've already pre-ordered that makes you awesome, but there is a state beyond that. A position that transcends awesome into excellence. You can have contributed, which already means you walk amongst the anointed, but what if you could recruit even more readers? If you've invested so far, you want this book to be published. The best way you can help is by finding others like you who might enjoy this quirky, dark and beautiful story I want to publish. I've even built you a tool to make it easier. A PDF with instructions on how to get the most out of pre-ordering 'A God in the Shed'.

Also remember:

And the more readers you recruit, the higher the chances that you'll be my victim.

Regards,

JF
