Some time ago, our fab artist Chris Pyke created this awesome double-paned pen and ink drawing for the chapter entitled The Press Conference. I plan to use this drawing as-is in the physical book. Now I have a colorized (or "colourized" as Chris would say) version. So here is my question to you: Should I use the same black and white/pen and ink version in the e-book as well, or should I use the colorized version? (Remember, this is old-school sci-fi. Perhaps black and white is more appropriate to the olden days of the 1950’s/1960’s.)
Here they are:
What do you say?
Another week of the campaign has come and gone! Knowing that The Walls are Closing In has passed the light-publishing goal and will be in your hands in the future is an amazing feeling, and reaching that milestone allowed me to take a few days to refocus and come up with advanced marketing plans.
To achieve the full goal of 750 orders, I can’t afford to slow down for long. The campaign halfway point is in a few days, and there are a couple of marketing efforts in the works. The Walls are Closing In will see some online publication attention in the coming weeks, and I will share those links as they become available.
To continue spreading the word on social media, I have started a giveaway. I invite all of you to enter for the chance to win a bundle of 5 dystopian books! All are eligible to enter in a variety of ways - those who have preordered already, and those who have not. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you again for your overwhelming support!
I apologize for sending you two emails in a row, but we did it! Fae Child has hit the 250+ threshold for Quill publishing!
This is going to be a real, live, book. Thank you so much - I’m in a little bit of a daze right now! I will update in a week or so with what happens after the preorder campaign is over.
Thank you again!

11 days remaining.
54 orders to go until guaranteed publication.
Can we do it? Yes we can! Spread the word - we need all the help we can get to conquer the mountain we’re climbing right now.
I am also really excited to announce that Fae Child was selected by two more syndicates! The Write Out Loud and the Sci-Fi syndicates both picked it as their February 2017 book! I am honored and still amazed at how the Inkshares community is rallying around my book. Thank you to everyone, from the bottom of my heart.
Talk to you soon!

p.s. There are a total of SIX syndicates who have picked Fae Child to support: Rite of Passage, Break the Bechdel, Staff, Fantasy, Write Out Loud, and Sci-Fi. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
