The Lion in Darkness
A priest who must murder to keep living, a blind boy with a sword and vengeance in his heart, a war the likes of which the world has never seen, and the thing that was a man but who would be a god pulling all the strings
Stephen Carignan sent an update for The Sleeping Man

Good afternoon Dreamers,

It is time for a non-update update. Thanks to the shares, recommendations, reviews, blog posts, interviews, syndicate pick, and pre-orders, The Sleeping Man has sold over 162 copies! 163 to be specific. This means we’re still above the projection to reach the goal of 750, and we’re definitely going to hit Quill. I’m constantly giving cards to my daughter to give to strangers (I ain’t above it and who is going to refuse her?), matching with people on Tinder and demanding they pre-order, and saying, "Bloody Mary" fives times into every mirror with my tablet in hand so she can pre-order.

It’s working, because we are crushing it. So many people are buying more than one copy as well and I cannot thank you enough for that because the numbers are going crazy. If you haven’t left a review, I would appreciate one. If you haven’t recommended The Sleeping Man, I would appreciate that as well. Lastly, if you haven’t pre-ordered, please pre-order. If you have pre-ordered, please pre-order again, here’s a list of useful things you can do with extra copies:

1. Hold a copy in each hand and read one with each eye to see which one is faster.

2. Create a book fort to protect your dreams.

3. Level a table.

4. Give one to someone you like.

5. Give one to someone you don’t like.

6. Check to see that each printed copy is the exact same and there are no discrepancies between copies.

7. Launch several into varying directions in space to teach aliens the English language.

...And many more!

Thanks again,

Stephen
