Hey, and Happy Friday!
Somebody went to the Women Like Us Amazon page and ordered 5 copies yesterday! Here, take a look:
Not sure who did that, but I would thank that person most heartily. Okay, sure, not 500 orders, but you gotta start somewhere, right?
Production of the book continues toward that July 26th publish date, which is extremely exciting. In fact cover design is mostly complete, and there will be two blurbs on the back . Here’s a preview:
"If you have parents, if you have kids, if you have a heart, Women Like Us is the book for you. It’s like a great recipe for life."
This is from author Charles Dickinson, who wrote a novel called The Widows’ Adventures. I fell in love with this book from page one, and hopefully one day soon there’s going to be a movie version of it (full disclosure: I adapted the book and will co-produce the movie), but do yourself a favor if you love to read and get a copy. You too, I bet, will fall in love with Ina and Helene, two ladies who go on a kind of road-trip you haven’t seen before. Or look into one of Charles’ other books like A Shortcut in Time, or A Family in Time. Here’s a link to The Widows’ Adventures:
Here’s the second blurb:
"Women Like Us is a wonderful and true examination of deep, real human emotion."
This one comes from Joseph Asphahani, whose novel The Animal In Man, a Sword & Laser contest winner, is coming soon from Inkshares. If you haven’t pre-ordered a copy, consider doing so. Here’s a link:

Speaking of other Inkshares books, there’s a Father’s Day sale going on -- there’s 50-75% off some cool books, so check that out. I can especially recommend director Jake Bender’s wonderful The Elephant in the Room, and Landon Crutcher’s Monkey Business, which is a super trippy head-trip of a book!
So that’s it for now. Stay tuned as publish day approaches because there will be more news to share about the book. And, as always, thanks everybody for the support.
Game on Destiny-followers,
What a stunning start! And all thanks to you. I see a lot of familiar faces clambering on board (welcome) and a few new faces as well (welcome as well). A contest over six weeks probably shouldn’t be run at a sprint, but something tells me there’s not going to be too many opportunities to rest. There’s some quality books and writers out there. I’d love you to recommend Destiny Imperfect to all those you know. The best thing I’ve found are personal recommendations (excuse me if I’m stating the obvious). But the more it gets out there, the better it’ll be. Share this and bring the book to life! For those of you that haven’t pre-ordered, it’d be fantastic if you could!
Thanks for being here from the beginning!
Cheers,
Peter
