Greetings, adventurers!
I’d be remiss if I didn’t update in the wake of exciting news!
Guys... we did it. With just 2 days left in the campaign, we hit the 250 mark. Mushroom and Anchovy is FUNDED at the Quill level!
I’m at a loss for words, but the only two that come to mind are THANK YOU. I couldn’t have done this without everyone reading this e-mail. I’m so grateful for everything.
Can I just say that I’m really feeling the Inkshares community love right now? You guys are awesome. Even if I don’t do another crowdfunding campaign in the near future, I’m gonna be sticking around. What a supportive group of fellow authors--a group of very talented people. I’ve learned so much from you all.
If you want the chance at a $50 Amazon gift card, you still have time! I’m not closing the contest until the official end of the campaign--which is Monday. So, I will not count any preorders after 11:59 PM on Sunday (Sept. 10th) in the Amazon gift card draw. You’re automatically entered by preordering, but you can pick up some bonus entries. Take a look at the pinned post on my Facebook page for more details.
Now, if you don’t mind, I’m going to be taking the next couple days off! I’ll get back to you all with the winner of the draw next week. I’m throwing in two ebook copies of my first book, novella Hub City Survival. It’s nothing like Mushroom and Anchovy, but hopefully the winners will enjoy it anyway!
That’s it from me for now, guys. This has been a real adventure. Thank you all for helping my biggest goal of this year come to fruition!
May your adventures be fraught with wonder and just enough peril to keep them interesting,
K. M. Cooper
Greetings, Faoii!
Some advanced copies of The Last Faoii came in today, and I’ve given myself a few minutes to adjust. The immediate pictures are taken and the squeals of delight are done. And now I’m just sitting here, holding a box of books in my lap while... bawling. Hysterically. I’m not even ashamed. This has been almost 6 years in the making. The publication process was the last and hardest step, and many MANY times I didn’t think I’d ever get through it. And now there’s a book in my hands that looks more beautiful than I ever expected. 390 pages that I didn’t think would ever exist. But you did. Hundreds of you thought it was worthy of support. For whatever reason, you chose to stand up and back me on a project I wasn’t sure could succeed, but was willing to give everything for.
I am... in awe. Humbled. Blessed.
And mostly grateful.
Thank you all.

Hello everyone!
Just a quick Launchpad update. There are now five weeks left in the competition and while that seems like a long time, I know it is going to fly by! So now that we’re into the thick of it...
Thank you so much to everyone who has pre-ordered a copy of "The Devil You Don’t." I really appreciate your support. Thanks also to those who have followed the story -- I’m glad you’re with us on this most excellent adventure.
Right now, Devil is sitting in 8th place with 11 orders (the #1 book has 52 orders at this point). But this is a marathon, not a sprint. I’m confident that we’ll increase our pre-order numbers in the coming days.
I’m going to be offering several raffles over the duration of the contest for those who pre-order copies... the first one will happen when we hit 50 pre-orders. One lucky reader will receive a signed copy of my first book, Darkstar Rising. Another lucky reader will win a $25 Amazon gift card.
Other raffles will happen at other pre-order milestones -- details are all listed on the "About" page for "Devil You Don’t." And I’ll share more in future updates. (FYI, if Devil is in the Top Three there will be a special raffle for any Super Reader -- those who order three or more copies!)
We’re off to a good start, but I’ll need everyone’s help to get to the Top Three.
If you haven’t yet, please pre-order a copy. Every single order will matter. You can order right from my Inkshares page: https://www.inkshares.com/books/the-devil-you-don-t
If you’ve already ordered, consider recommending The Devil You Don’t to your friends. One of the most effective way to boost orders is through personal recommendations -- tell your friends about the competition and what we’re trying to accomplish, and share the link with them!
Best,
Susan
