Tony Valdez liked an update for The Walls are Closing In
The follower count is approaching 70 for The Walls are Closing In, and the book has received two great reviews, which I have shared below. A special thank you to Bill Osinki and Deborah Munro.

Thank you also to Eric H. Heisner, Joshua Griffith, G.A. Finocchiaro, Sara Polk, Michael Cooper, and Shawn Dove for the recommendations. Recommendations are incredibly important because they place The Walls are Closing In in the "Recommended by Inkshares Readers" section on the front page of the Inkshares Website, thereby increasing exposure.

I plan on launching the Pre-Order campaign in mid-January and publishing Chapter 2 at the same time. Stay tuned!

What the Critics Are Saying

Bill Osinski

"This is future shock delivered in real time and with max voltage. The most chilling part about "The Walls are Closing In" is that the walls really are closing in. We have just endured a presidential where truth was discarded and ignored, so it does not seem like such a leap to enter a world where truth, beyond what the powerful deem it to be, is unknown."

Deborah Munro

"Castle has crafted an eerily believable future for America that is reminiscent of George Orwell’s "1984". From the giant wall insulating America from the rest of the world, to the propaganda on mandatory, controlled television, to the cameras monitoring the protagonist’s every movement, I was chilled. This is a fascinating read about how 75 years from now, everything could be totally different in our world."

      HEY AGAIN, READERS!

      Of course I hit SEND on my last update and immediately realized I forgot to mention something:

      The illustrious Elena Stofle, Operations Manager at Inkshares, has posted an article on the official Inkshares blog featuring the top 10 contestants in  THE LIST 2016. There you’ll find a quick blurb from each of the authors chatting about their books, their writing inspirations, etc.

      Take a look and get to know the contestants! You might find Dax isn’t the only new read to pique your interest...

      Sitting Down with the Top 10 Authors in The List 2016 Contest (so far)

      Cheers,
      Tony V.

        Tony Valdez sent an update for Dax Harrison

        HEY THERE READERS!

        As you know (or if you forgot), DAX HARRISON was nominated into a new Inkshares competition known as THE LIST 2016. From now until December 31st, the amount of new readers I acquire will determine if I land a FULL publishing ride (as opposed to the "Quill" light publishing deal I originally reached). That means additional perks like marketing support, physical bookstore distribution, cover design, etc.

        Currently, Dax stands in 7th place according to the contest page. Though that number may be corrected in the near future (My actual total reader count stands at 274). Either way, I would looove to see this number go up.

        I know it’s been a long ride for those of you who have been with me since this thing started last year. But if you get a chance to do me a tiny favor this holiday season and just take a minute to share this book with another silly sci-fi loving friend, I would really appreciate it. On Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, in a personal email, smoke signal, telegraph, messenger raven, whatever you like. Just tell them it’s a fun little story with laughs and spaceships and explosions, all for the price of 2 Grande Pumpkin Spice Lattes! (Actually cheaper if you include the tax!)*

        *$10 for the ebook, $20 for paperback/ebook bundle

        And for those of you who are following this book (there’s over 500 of you total!) but have NOT bought a copy yet, let’s chat a minute.

        "What can I do to get you into your own personal copy of Dax Harrison today?" (Imagine that in a sleazy used car salesman voice)

        Seriously though, I would love to hear from my mysterious followers. Feel free to direct message me on Inkshares and say hi. Who knows? Maybe I just might be able to convince you to give old Dax a chance. ;)

        Happy Holidays everyone! (*slips on plaid blazer, combs hair, adjusts pinky ring*)
