Robert Batten liked an update for The Last Faoii

Updates, Faoii! Listen up!

I want to show you a picture. Look at it very carefully, Faoii. Something has changed in the last 24 hours. Take a look: 




Do you see it? Here. Let me make it a bit more obvious:




That’s right, Faoii. We’ve surpassed our previous goal of 350 pre-orders and shot right up to 365! That’s amazing! You should be proud of yourselves and the army you’ve helped build.

However, we still only have 15 reviews on Amazon. That means that 4% of people that have purchased this book have rated it. 4%. We can do better than that, Faoii. Kicking over on Amazon’s algorithm is our next major goal in this campaign. It is the only way we can move forward from here. You’ve stood behind me this long-- don’t put down that blade yet.

Shields up.

    Friends, Readers, and Sorcerers All,

    THE BOOKS ARE HERE!

    As you know, we had some delays at the printer, but last week we finally got to see the finished books in person, and they are gorgeous.

     

    I was a teeny bit excited. Then yesterday, I traveled up to Inkshares HQ in Oakland and signed 300+ copies to be sent to you. As an extra thank you, I included a special bookmark Juliane the illustrator made just for backers. 


    I’ll be honest, I got a little emotional seeing all those books on the table. All those pre-orders -- your pre-orders -- are what led to my first book being published. And now it’s out there in the world, and people seem to be enjoying it. Check out some of our satisfied fans:


    If you enjoy the book, let us know! Post a picture on social media, and please leave us a review on Amazon and Goodreads. Every review, even a couple words, helps make the book more visible.

    Thanks again for your support. Truly, we couldn’t have gotten here without you.

      Robert Batten liked an update for The Devil You Don’t

      10/21/17

      Hello everyone! Took a few days off after Launchpad to chill out, have a nap, and  let my brain regroup. Now that I have, I feel refreshed, refocused, and it is time for a new rallying cry:

      250 or bust!

      My funding window is still open, and now that I’m free of the constraints of the Launchpad Competition, it now becomes all about the copies ordered, not about the number of individual readers.

      Thanks to all of you, 165 copies of "The Devil You Don’t" have already been ordered. That means I only need to get 85 more copies pre-ordered to make the level for Quill publishing. That’s really not that many at all.

      There are a few ways I can get there...

      • First, I’m going to keep sharing information about "Devil" and introducing it to as many people as I can to gather more support.
      • Anyone who is currently "following" my adventure here and hasn’t had the chance to order a copy, it isn’t too late. Take a chance, live dangerously, dare I say it... make a deal with a devil (Mara would love to talk to you): https://www.inkshares.com/books/the-devil-you-don-t
      • Already a reader? You’ve already ordered a copy for yourself, right? How about a copy for a friend? As much as I hate to say this in October, the holiday season isn’t that far away. If you want to order a copy as a gift, I’ll make you up a snazzy certificate you can give in lieu of the book while it waits to be edited!
      I’m really excited about "Devil" and I’m determined to get it into production for all of you who have supported me so far. I’ll keep you posted on how things are going!

      Have a  great rest of the weekend.

      Best,
      Susan

        WE. DID. IT.

        First things first, congratulations to Paul, Kate, and Susan. This was hard, so, way to persevere. This was not for the faint of heart and you guys did GREAT!

        Now, to my people: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

         I’m sure you are tired of hearing it, but everyone is getting a THANK YOU. This would not have been possible without you. So when I say, "we did it" I truly mean this was a "we" thing. And I am so excited to get to share this experience with you!

        More to come, for sure.

        Your very grateful friend,

        Meghan Godwin

          10/18/17

          Good morning, everyone!

          I wish I could be running through my office popping some champagne, but alas we came up about 20 readers short of getting into the Top Three.

          I do want to say congratulations to Paul, Kate, and Meghan -- you all have what look like amazing stories, and I know all of your readers (including me) are eager to get them.

          THANK YOU to everyone who has supported me and my story so far. Your support and well wishes mean the world to me, they really do.

          But things are not over for "Devil" quite yet. I’m going to take a few days to be disappointed (’cause I am, I gotta be honest: when you want to be in the Top 3, fourth place kinda sucks :-) ) and recuperate. Doing this campaigning can be really mentally and emotionally draining.

          However, my funding window is still open and there is no reason that "The Devil You Don’t" can’t hit the Quill funding level or better. So, after a pout and a nap, I will turn my attention to figuring out how to make that happen... because I really do believe "The Devil You Don’t" is a great story and I want to make sure you all get a chance to enjoy it.

          I’ll keep you posted. Thank you again.

          Best,
          Susan
           I probably need all of the above. :-)
