      Hi Everyone!

      This update has nothing to do with It's All Fun and Games.  Rather, it's about to HUGE things going on over at Inkshares that I think many of you will be interested in.

      First, there's a new contest.  Sponsored by The Sword and Laser, this contest will award the top three entrants with a publishing contract, with at least one being added to the Sword and Laser collection.  It's been up and running just for a few days now, and I'd like to point out that I joined the Nerdist contest almost two weeks after it started, but still finished top five.  I strongly encourage anyone who's thought about getting their fantasy or science fiction novel published to look into this.  More info about the contest can be found here.

      The second thing is the inaugural Inkshares review-a-thon.  Here's a shameless cut and paste from someone who wrote up the details:

      On December 19th, all authors and readers are invited to leave reviews on currently funding Inkshares books using the Inkshares "leave a review" option.

      Throughout the day we'll be hanging out on Twitter in the #InksharesReviews tag as we share our favorite book projects, answer author Q&As, debate the merits of astronauts with swords versus cavemen with lasers, and more!

      Then, from 6 - 8pm ET, JF Dubeau and Paul Inman of the WriteBrain Podcast will be hosting a video livestream filled with author interviews, review readings, and live announcements of prize winners!

      Prizes?!?!

      Everyone who leaves a review on December 19th by 6pm ET will be eligible to win one of our fantastic general prizes:

      • Sword & Laser Contest Winners Package - print copies of the six winning books from the Sword & Laser Inkshares contest!
      • Nerdist Contest Winners Package - print copies of the five winning books from the Nerdist Inkshares contest!
      • An immediate pre-order of the book of their choice for five winners!
      • $30 in Inkshares credits!


      Readers: Peruse the "currently funding" books on Inkshares and leave as many reviews as you want on Dec 19th. You could even start up a "must-have" list of books to order in case you win a free pre-order or the $30 in credits!

      Authors: Join our review exchange to leave three reviews in exchange for two guaranteed reviews on your Inkshares project and a chance at author-exclusive prizes! Email me at cara.c.weston@gmail.com to learn more and get on the list.



      So that's the scoop.  Start looking around at books currently funding.  Give them a read.  Write up a review (or two or five or twenty), and then on the 19th, post them all up in a massive orgy of literary abandon!  Maybe you'll win some sweet prizes.  Worst case scenario, you make some folks feel good about the work they've put their hearts and souls into.  As far as worst case scenarios go, that's pretty damn decent.

      Happy December!

      Cheers
      Dave

        Hello everyone! I would like to start off this update by thanking the people who have already preordered my book. That means a lot to me.

        The second thing is that this book has been placed in the Sword and Laser contest so with your help I would like to get as many preorders as possible. Please recommend this story or share it with friends and family. 

        Thank you!
