Sadie Fans, 

I need your input! Inkshares just announced a change in their funding model taking place at the end of October. 

• The current requirement for publication of "Sadie McGrady, Leading Lady" is 1,000 pre-ordered copies at $10 each with a limit of 10 copies per customer during the crowd funding phase (ends 12/25/15). We have sold 330 copies as of today, thanks to you! 

• The new funding model will lower the required number of pre-ordered copies to 750 (a nice reduction) but will raise the price of the picture book to $30 per copy going forward (orders already placed would remain locked in at $10). 
  

Because our "Sadie McGrady, Leading Lady" project was already underway when this funding goal decision was made, I can opt to stay with the original $10/1,000 pre-order goal or move to the new $30/750 pre-order goal for orders placed after October 30, 2015. 

Since we're crowd funding this picture book, crowd sourcing this decision among Sadie's dedicated supporters is a must. What is your opinion? E-mail your thoughts or leave a comment on Sadie's Facebook page ASAP. I'll announce the decision soon. Either way, we're dedicated to reaching our goal and getting "Sadie McGrady, Leading Lady" into the hands of today's girls and tomorrow's leaders!

Thanks everyone,

Mary

THANK YOU for your help spreading the word about this book! 

GREAT NEWS!

Blood Dawn just jumped from being 1/10th of the way to its funding goal, to being almost 1/4. This happened all in a split-second!

That's right -- check out my project page. Inkshares lowered my funding goal so I now only need 1,000 pre-orders to reach my publication goal. With 6 months to go, and given how quickly momentum has grown just over the last 2 months (and let's not mention all the tricks I have up my sleeve to amp up my outreach more and more with each month to come), I'm very encouraged. This book is going to be real, published, in your hands, out there for epic fantasy fans to enjoy.

Please keep spreading the word. If you have followed this book recently, I'd appreciate your support right now. Head over to my Blood Dawn page (https://www.inkshares.com/projects/blood-dawn) and look at the three options for how you can back it.

Right now there are about 100 readers following Blood Dawn who have not ordered a copy. If every one of you became a Dragon backer (7 copies), we would be at 1,000. We'd be done, just like this -- as quickly as the funding goal dropped from 2,500 to 1,000. That's an amazing thought, even if it is ambitious.

If all of you became God-Kings (3 copies), we'd be more than 50% to the funding goal. Regardless, if each of you ordered a copy Blood Dawn would be so much further ahead.

And of course, regardless of what you choose to do, I am overwhelmed by all the interest this book is generating. While I continue to make this book as amazing as it can be, I'm encouraged by the growing reader community.

This is a great moment for Blood Dawn and what lies ahead!
