New cover! Again! I changed the ground-level details to more closely reflect the book. What do you think?

DAX HARRISON FLYER!

Would you like to keep helping the cause? Print out this handy dandy book flyer! There's a QR code for all those hip young people to scan with their smartphones that will take them straight to the book page! And of course, some classic tear-away tabs for the less techno-savvy.

Post it in the break room at work! In the laundry room at your apartment complex. At your local public library. At your favorite coffee shop. On your friend's forehead! On the bulletin boards at your school/college. Right at eye-level above the urinals in your local bar/pub! (Please wash your hands after that last one)

You guys are all rock stars. Thanks again!

Whoo-wee, this Inkshares news has me PUMPED. ...It could also partially be the bucket of coffee I've had this morning... :)

Good News Everyone!

Change is coming!
That's a phrase some meet with trepidation, but not me! A little chaos keeps me jazzy!
Inkshares is going to shange how they do things a bit, and I like it.

The old: placing a pre-order = pledging to pay $10, should a project reach 1,000 pre-orders. In exchange for you pledge, you recieve both an e-bok and a paperback cop of the book you helped bring to life.

THE NEW: My project only has to reach 750 pre-orders to enter publication. Pledges will be higher - $20 for paperback and ebook, and $30 for HARDBACK and ebook.

YOUR CALL TO ACTION!!!
We're having a sale!
Well, kinda-sorta, depending on how you look at it.
These changes take effect October 30th. All pre-orders placed before October 30th will count to the new, lower 750 pre-order goal, but they'll still be only $10. So, all you good folks who were just holding off, waiting to place your pre-order clsoe to the deadline to give me that end-run boost... don't do it! Now's the time! Pledge your pre-order now, before the pledge rate doubles. Go in for three or more, become a Big Lifter! If you dig this project of mine (and if you're reading this, that's kinda a foregone conclusion, right?) then go on and tell your friends! spread th word. If you love something , say it loud and share it with everyone you know who might also love it.

As Modun says in Chapter 22, "Love is plentiful. It will not diminish." Why would he say that? You'll have to read the book to find out. But in the meantime, share good things - their goodness will not diminish. And a book you like by an emerging author for only $10, well, that's a good thing, ya?

It is time! First draft finished at 85,000 words. 1/3 the length of my last book! I got a skinny baby!

Beta readers now wanted!

Duty of the beta reader: read and give feedback, from proofreading to editorial criticism. I wanna know what the book is like for real readers, especially if you don't know me.

Benefits of being a beta reader: you get special first access and become more awesome through the effect of self-sustaining positive energy feedback cycle. Also you get the joy of seeing where you helped the evolution of a story from draft to final.

Detriment of beta reading: it can be hard and time consuming. There are annoying typos. You might have to tell me my art sucks.

Big rule: do not worry about me, just tell me anything you think I need to know. I have thick skin.

If you would like to help me out, let me know by emailing me eland001@gmail.com. 

Many many thanks!
