Ebook is now 2.99.

Hello everyone,

The campaign to get Blue Water published is now officially 24 hours old, and we’re sitting at 3% of our goal in just one short day.  If we keep this pace up, we’ll be doing just fine.

Please pre-order Blue Water and help us spread the news that this book is in the funding stage for the second time.  If you pre-ordered last time, your money has already been refunded and your pre-order cancelled.  You’ll need to pre-order again if you want to get a copy.

Also, while I can send you guys these messages from here, they’re kind of one sided.  I get notifications that you like what I said, and that’s about it.  We have a Facebook page as well, where we can open up more of a dialogue, and you can tell me what it is you’d like to see from the campaign as we go forward.  Follow this link:

I’ll send out regular updates on Inkshares every week so I don’t fill up everyone’s mailbox, but I’ll be updating the Facebook page much more frequently.  So go there and like our page for the latest news.

As always, I thank you all for your interest in Blue Water, and I look forward to hearing what you think when you read it once we get to the finish line.

Thanks,

Joseph

Hello Everyone!

I hope everyone had a great time celebrating Independence day here in the states. Dirt Face is coming along nicely and I just got an email that it was chosen as the Write Out Loud Syndicate pick!!! 

This is exciting news and I am extremely grateful for the backing. The protagonist of Dirt Face is non-gender-specific and in my opinion a hero of life much like all of my personal friends and well all of you! 

If you haven’t yet please read and share Dirt Face. I have published 13 chapters and the end is very important. It has been a dream of mine to get this published. I thank all of you who have supported me so far. To the rest give it a read and order a copy now.

Hello everyone!!

Can you believe that there are only 11 days left in the Nerdist contest?! I definitely can’t. Well, I am currently sitting in 2nd place and so if you could tell your friends, family, whoever to pre-order a copy that would be awesome! Also, if you haven’t pre-ordered a copy but have been following my project now would be a great time to do so! For those who do pre-order a copy, you will be receiving a FREE short story (yes free!). We are 18 pre-orders away from unlocking the 6th piece of the painting as well :)

As a hardcore gamer girl, winning this contest would mean everything to me and I hope you believe in this project as much as I do. Yes yes, I’m still pursuing my microbiology PhD, but my passion for writing has always been there and I’m more determined than ever to get my first novel published. 

Anyways, Happy 4th, stay safe, enjoy the festivities, and don’t forget about your pets!! ^_^

Best,

Alisa-chan アリサちゃん
