Hi there,

I hope this message finds you safe and as healthy as possible given the circumstances. A lot has happened since I last updated you on my memoir, When Force Meets Fate. 

I am so grateful that you ordered the book and I’ve been meaning to reach out sooner but COVID started and flipped everything upside down. The good news is that, while the pandemic has unavoidably delayed the release of my memoir, it’s still going to happen. Right now we are shooting for a January release. It’s later than I had hoped, but with everything going on in the world right now, I think it’s for the best. My hope is that by January COVID will have calmed down and there will be better opportunities to promote the book. 

Right now we are waiting for the manuscript to be copyedited, then we will wrap it up and do another round of promotion before releasing the book. I’m also trying to figure out how to do an audiobook, which will likely be a challenge considering speaking is painful for me. But hopefully we can find a good narrator and get it listed on Audible and other audiobook platforms.

That’s all I have for now, but rest assured we are working hard to get the book to you. I will update you on any new developments. Thank you again for ordering the book. I’m excited for you to read it. 

Stay safe,

Jamison 

Hello friends,

WE DID IT! 759 PRE-ORDERS!

It’s truly humbling to know that so many people support my memoir. The success of this campaign means: The book will be published and (for now) you won’t get any more solicitations from me. I will be doing another round of pre-orders once the book is up on Amazon (and other retailers) and it has an official release date.

I am SO excited to publish this book. The next step is for me to send the manuscript to the publisher and hopefully we’ll have a release date for the book soon. 

I want to thank EACH and EVERY person who ordered the book and shared it. I could not have done this without you. Thank you again for your support, and I will keep everyone updated as I have more information.

All, thank you for the support. Funding has passed the 100 pre-order milestone (113) I will be at The University of Chicago Graham School this week. This will be my final class time before finishing my graduate copyediting certificate with a concentration in developmental editing. I highly recommend the program if you have any interest. It is a tough year but worth every second invested. Several publicity and funding events are in the plannibg stages. I will be adding the book’s prologue to the READ section of my Inkshares page the following week.
