Greetings friends!
My first book with Inkshares,
The Life Engineered is released. I still have a lot of promotional work to do with it to keep the spotlight on it, but as far as the heavy lifting is concerned, we are done. Time to focus on the next thing and the next thing is
A God in the Shed.
As of this writing, we are 271 orders away from getting published. We have 44 days to get these orders. You’re following this book so I know there’s a good chance you want to see it published. This is why, as of this moment, you are my army.
Starting today, we are going to campaign to get
A God in the Shed to 750 pre-orders. Here’s what I have in mind for myself:
- I’m looking for places where I can talk about A God in the Shed. Podcasts, blogs, events, anything. I’ve got a few things lined up but I’m open to more options if you have them.
- I will be revamping some of the things you see on the project page to add more content for you and to generate interest.
- I will be investing in some strategic ads with content creators whom I enjoy and support to hopefully create a dialogue with their audience.
- I will be mobilizing some of my more militant supporters into pushing A God in the Shed as much as possible. If that’s you, let me know.
What do I expect from you? Very little, yet so very much.
I need you to find one other person and personally guide them into pre-ordering
A God in the Shed. It’s simple because who can’t find one friend who likes Fantasy/Horror and likes to support independent authors? It’s difficult because I’m putting the responsibility on you to ask, guide and follow up with them. If even half of you manage to do this, we’ll be in good shape to get published.
Sounds good? What’s in it for you?
- If the book gets published and you ordered at the Deity level, you get your name in the book as a Patron.
- If you use a referral through the ’Recommend Via’ buttons at the top of the page, you get Inkshares credits that you can put towards other books.
- For each book you pre-order, you will get an entry into a random draw. For every successful recommendation, you will get another entry into this raffle. The winner of this raffle will have his name and likeness included in the book as a minor character that gets tragically murdered.
- You get to be on the ground floor of a trilogy that will, I hope, be pretty damn awesome.
I’ll be sending occasional reminders and updates on the progress we’re making. You guys have been awesome with me so far and it seems greedy to ask for more, but the sooner I can stop promoting, the sooner I can get back to writing and I think that’s best for everyone.
Go forth my army! Let’s get things published!
Also; thanks. You’re all awesome.
