I just wanted to thank you all for your incredible support. With your help, I hope to stay in the Top 20 for the next two days, until the competition finishes on September 30th. Now for some updates:
Exciting news- Talkers was featured on the very talented Laura Bynum's blog "Words on the Outside." If you want to hear me read one of my favorite chapters check it out. Even if you don't, check out her page, she is doing wonderful work for independent writers!!
Here it is on youtube:

If you haven't preordered yet, but are thinking about it, don't forget that for every new preorder placed from now until the end of the contest, you will be entered into a raffle for a REAL HUMAN VERTEBRAE BONE!
As to the future, I am still hoping to somehow make the 750 copies needed to bring Talkers to the ebook format. All preorders will count towards that, so if you have any extra credits, please consider using them to bring this dream to life (also, for other Inkshares writers, I have been saving my credits to be able to preorder back, let's try to get all of the submissions to the contest published!!)
And lastly, instead of posting another chapter, I am leaving you with a glimpse of the work-in-progress for Talker's new cover art, by the extremely talented NY based artist Fernando Garcia:
