Very exciting news in this rare (oh so rare) readers update! As of a few minutes ago, The Fable Hunt made it into the Top 10 of the Nerdist Contest! 

We're only a few readers (okay 1 reader) above the book 11th place, but it's still very exciting! The contest has 7 more days to go, and I'm feeling a new sense of enthusiasm. Here's where I am in terms of other awesome The Fable Hunt related things:

•  Chapter Four will be teased in a very special blog post on Monday over on ArtBooksCoffee
• Chapter Four will then be posted in its entirety on Tuesday
• The Fable Hunt has a new cover! It's so pretty! Look at it in that picture! It's also very special because it was made for me by another Inkshares/Nerdist contestant Amanda Orneck. Please go check out her book!

It would be awesome to continue climbing the ranks of the contest but I need your help. Please ask someone you know to pre-purchase a copy (or ten I'm not picky). Here's a sample email you could send and a sample tweet you could use to share it with your followers on social media if you're feeling particularly generous.

Sample e-mail:

Hi Friend! I know you love to read, and I have a great book for you to check out. The Fable Hunt is about a couple of readers and a couple of book fairies trying to save the very future of literature and storytelling. Go read the first couple pages on Inkshares, and pre-order a copy if you like what you see. The Fable Hunt is part of a contest to win publication and distribution from Inkshares and Nerdist.com, and every pre-order counts towards the goal. Please give it a shot!

Sample tweet:

 . @bookoisseur's The Fable Hunt is available for pre-order! There are book fairies in it & YOU should buy one. https://www.inkshares.com/projects/the-fable-hunt

Thanks so much for all your support! I can't wait to share the next chapter with you all!
