J. Graham-Jones liked an update for Sorcery for Beginners

Friends, Readers, and Sorcerers All --

WE’RE AT NUMBER 7! I am beyond amazed. We entered the Geek and Sundry contest TWO MONTHS after everyone else, and within less than a month we shot to the top ten, and now seventh place, all thanks to your amazing support.

I know there’s only 3 days left in the contest, and I know the top three spots are many hundreds of readers away. BUT -- if we can hit 250 pre-orders, Inkshares will publish SORCERY FOR BEGINNERS regardless. That’s only 38 more pre-orders. We can do that, and I know we can do it by Nov 1st.

In the meantime, I will be posting another chapter to celebrate crossing the 200-sold mark. It’s one of my favorite chapters in the book, in which Owen enters a magic bookstore called Codex Arcanum and buys his copy of SORCERY FOR BEGINNERS. Look for that soon.

Remember, every book purchased between now and Nov 1 will result in $10 being donated to a breast cancer prevention fund, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. So not only will you be helping SORCERY FOR BEGINNERS get published, but you’ll be helping an important cause.

Let’s do this, everyone. Let’s hit that 250!!

    I’ve given it a good long try but I’ve deleted my account. 

    The program suggested old blog posts to me as well that were of little or no value, no recommendations at all 1/3 of the days, and after the first week the retweets and such it was recommending were 90% from the same three people over and over again.

    The service seems to be a beta at best and I feel it wastes more of my time than it saves.

      J. Graham-Jones liked an update for Manifesto: A Tale of Murder

      Halloween is almost here and that will mark the end of the Crypt TV contest.  I need everyone’s help in sharing Manifesto and convincing others to order their copy if we stand a chance at winning.  So order a copy if you haven’t already, and everyone get a friend to do the same.  You are all awesome.


      Cheers,

      Dan

        J. Graham-Jones sent an update for Witherfist

        The Geek & Sundry fantasy contest ends on November 1st. Eek! Though Witherfist is a good 100 readers shy of reaching the top 3 - and the prize of guaranteed full publication from Inkshares - I am so thrilled and humbled by the amount of support the book has received.  While the contest is active, I want to push the book as high as possible in the top 10.  At the time of writing, Witherfist is tantalisingly close to the number 7 spot in the top 10, thanks in part to all of the new readers who have joined the campaign this week.  

        I shared in a previous update some work in progress art, and now I’m happy to present the finished piece. Here is Karaben the Imperial interogator in all her glory.

          J. Graham-Jones liked an update for The Living God

          Happy Friday!!

          I am super, super excited to tell you guys that The Living God met it’s Quill Goal with 252 orders! My brain still finds it too good to be true and I have a hard time getting the words into my mind much less out of my mouth, but... The Living God will be published!

          We didn’t win the Geek & Sundry Fantasy Contest, and we have yet to reach the 750 mark, so it won’t be getting mass-distribution or marketing, but it will be published. If it happens to reach the 750 mark, that would be amazing, but I’m perfectly happy with limited distribution.  

          I’ve spent most of my private and professional life helping people make their dreams come true, often putting my own on hold for their sake. I just love helping people, and it brings me joy. But, at the end of last year I made a promise to myself to finally put one of my dreams first. I cannot express to you what it means to me to be able to say that I finally accomplished a goal I’ve dreamed about since I realized I loved storytelling so much. I have you guys to thank for that.

          The Living God is going to go through some heavy content and copy editing in the next month, and the campaign isn’t over until December. This gives me some time to try and get to 750, but I’ll be honest with you... I don’t know that many people. I could use your help on that front. If you could pass the word on, share it with others and encourage others to grab their copy, I’d greatly appreciate it. 

          Thank you for all your support and for helping a dream come true.
