Peter Birdsall liked an update for Sweet Torture

Hello everyone!

So I know this is way late and all that, but I have just been doing a lot of thinking and didn't want to post until I had figured everything out! =) 

So here is what is going on! When I first started this project, pretty much everything in my life went a little crazy, and not the good kind of crazy. So lots of ups, mostly downs, which did not leave a lot of time for writing and updating and promoting, all that jazz. I really tried with my posts and I really tried to be optimistic, but things just weren't really working for me. Because of that, my campaign is almost at an end and I only have 7 pre-orders (which I will forever be grateful for!!!) With all that said, here is my plan: 
I am going to let this campaign run it's course. There are about 3 weeks left and I am just going to let it be so I can mostly work on getting my life back in order. Once this ends, I will see where things are in my life and go from there. I am really hoping that, by that time, I will be at a point in my life where I am able to focus more on writing and on a new campaign. I will be able to promote and bug people and offer great gifts to people who pre-order, all that stuff!

So anyways, I am not sure what happens when a campaign ends and the pre-order isn't met, but hopefully I can just start over with the same stuff once I am ready!

I can never express just how grateful I am to everyone that followed me and my story and to those that pre-ordered! My story was trending at one point on this site, and that was probably the best thing that happened in December! So thank you thank you so much everyone!!
And keep your eyes and ears open… Sweet Torture will be back one day! =D

    Time for another giveaway! I’ve been sitting on these download codes for the Spell/Sword audiobook for long enough. My birthday is at the end of the month and to celebrate I want to GIVE 10 people a free download of the book from Audible.com. Admittedly I’m GIVING you these with the idea that you will GIVE me an honest review and GIVE me your undying support and perhaps GIVE me a sandwich if I am hungry at some undisclosed date in the future. All of this giving, it warms the heart.10 people will win the free download, and one person will win the The Gray Prize.

    • Your choice of one (1) of my completed Gundam models
    • One Question That I Must Answer Truthfully*
    • So, how do you enter?
    Send me a picture of yourself with a SPELL or a SWORD. [counts twice if your picture has BOTH].  You can email to me directly spellswordcontact AT gmail DAWT com OR tweet to me @gderekadams. If you tweet it, because of the native social media boosting properties, I will add a x3 multiplier to your entry.

    1 chance – Picture of you with a SWORD

I’ll do the drawing on February 1st and announce here the winners and contact you via email to get you your filthy winnings.NOTE: I’m going to want to share these pictures with the Internet, obviously – if you are NOT OKAY with that, you can still enter. Just let me know in the email that the images are not for sharing. I’m planning on sharing the 10 winners – along with any other pictures I get that are super hilarious or poignant.Any questions? Drop them in the comments below – let’s go! I’m very excited to see what you folks come up with.

    *What is truth? I am a secretive writer, and much of the Grand Plot of Spell/Sword still lies in shadow. This is your chance to ask me one question about the books that I have to answer truthfully and fully to the best of my ability. Or I guess you could waste it asking me about my political views or something? It’s your nickel.
