The Defeated broke 60 readers!  Thank you again to all pre-orders new and old.  I have been sadly neglecting both this contest and the overall promotion of this project for a couple of days now, but I'll get back on top of things in the days to come.  Some good news:  I'm making headway in the next installment of Something Like A Hero.  I've written some pages I'm quite proud of for Volume 2, which I will update you all on as we continue this journey to fund Volume 1, The Defeated.  Some other good news:  I will either be sending you all some further chapters from The Defeated for all your support, or a teaser for the new project within the next few days.  Some MORE good news: I've nearly completed my responses to an interview with fellow author John Robin for part of his Worldbuilders series on his blog.  More information to follow on that.  As always, keep spreading the word.  I'll never hit that funding goal without a helping hand!
