Good day dear sentients!
Good morning, faithful readers, et al.
500 readers! Welcome To Deadland crossed 500 readers today! I'm so excited even my T-Rex is roaring in joy!(hope you've got a t-rex shirt ready, Rick, I'm sure you'll be crossing 500 right on my heals.)
Thank you all tremendously. Those of you that have given me your support by placing orders have left me dazed and amazed by your willingness to help my dream come true. There's still another 8 days to go, and I know we can keep this momentum moving forward.
For those that might have missed them, I'm including the links to two different interview that were just posted.
World Builders on The Story World of John Robin
A Motivating Conversation With Zachary Tyler Linville
Thank you all again!

5th place.
Zaltruscans, dwarven slavers, and carnivorous horses, oh my! Few too many syllables to make that one work in the original cadence, but oh well. Suffice to say that matters go from bad to worse for Pentaz in these first parts of chapter 2. Figured I'd go ahead and post it up before I finally went to sleep.
As always, thank you for reading, following and preordering. Enjoy yourselves.

Aint that amazing? That's the work of author AC Weston (author of She is the End, which you should definitely check out!), who has toiling away on something ... awesome, which I'm not allowed to tell you about yet, but I AM allowed to tell you tomorrow, so for now, let this be a sneak peek of something bigger to come...
Meanwhile, I'll be coloring this image in, and it will become the new Blood Dawn logo, depicting the dragons who made the world, locked together in an act of co-creation. For those DRAGON backers who have ordered 7 copies (my thanks Patazamazzon, Kazangaura, and Lazahalar), this colored logo will be on your t-shirt. I'll be sure to share a picture of this image with color soon!
There are 8 days left in September, and I'm hoping to finish this month with my 100 for $100 draw. There's about 30 entries left, so now is the time to get in the draw before its over.
Step up now and become a DRAGON, and you'll have 7/100 odds of winning!
Step up now and become a GOD-KING, and you'll have 3/100 odds of winning!
Order one copy and become a SUN PRIEST, and you'll have 1/100 odds.
But spots are filling up fast, and I'll be doing lots of groundwork this next week connect with more readers, so if you've followed Blood Dawn and you haven't backed it yet, now is a great opportunity to support this book and have a chance to win something in the process!
More to follow soon.
Scott Barsotti, author of Single Version, currently #7 on the Leaderboard, just became a dad. This contest has taken a backseat to parenthood as it should -- for Scott, but NOT for Single Version. Of all the many, many excerpts I've read, this horror urban fantasy is one of the four best novels in the competition.
It's even become a thing -- Roach Punk! Please help Single Version get back into the Top 5 where it belongs.
Who knows? Maybe this will be Baby Barsotti's college education fund. So use your credits, use your cards, grab your friends and buy this book!

Today was a good day.
Hey readers, just a short update today. New chapter (Fionna) coming up tonight. Look for it. We are quickly approaching the final days of the competition. I've gone through and cleaned up the entire draft (8 chapters) considerably, so now is the time to purchase your copy of The Children of the Forest! I want to thank everyone for their support, feedback, and help! Lets try to break 100, we're almost there!
