Ringo said it don't come easy, and it sure doesn't. Number 17 is refusing to capitulate, and her lead is increasing.

Where we were but 7 apart, even with my book's climb (now at 114 readers), that gap is now 13. We've got a real fight on our hands!

As ever, please turn over some rocks in your life and find those friends, family members, et al that you haven't already enlisted (if you haven't yet enlisted anybody ... please do!). The steps to get a free book are straight forward, and I've listed them out, below.

Please share this with your networks; 17 doesn't want to fall, but I don't want to idle at 18, either. Who's going to win? If you help me ... we will!

1) Click https://www.inkshares.com/projects/disintegration?referral_code=335a0fb6 [Replace this with your own referral link, if you wish] and sign up for an account. (You do that by clicking "Sign In" in the top right corner of the page. You may use either Facebook or Twitter, or just put in your email address, create a password and click "Sign In Via Email." )

2) You'll get an email after a few minutes notifying you of a $5 credit.

3) Click "+ FOLLOW" at the link above and wait for confirmation that I followed you back.

4) You'll get your second $5 credit notice after a few minutes.

5) Pre-order one copy of the book. Have $0.01 left over. smile emoticon

And, finally:

6) Please share by generating a referral link using the facebook, twitter or email buttons at the top of my page. If anyone you refer buys a copy, you'll get a $15 credit.

Let's not settle for 18! There are 6 1/2 days left, we can finish MUCH higher!
