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!!

Friends, Readers, and Sorcerers All,

ONLY FOUR DAYS LEFT! Thanks to your amazing support, we’re currently at 196 orders. To make the top three, we need to sell at least 100 more copies. I’m not gonna lie, it’s a pretty tough hill to climb. Twenty-five copies a day. We’ve done that before, but in these last days I need to sweeten the pot a little.

So, from now until Nov 1, I will match every copy sold with a $10 donation to a Breast Cancer Prevention fund. A friend of mine from high school was just diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer, so this is a particularly important issue for me. She’s having surgery next week, so good vibes for #teamJ9 are appreciated. October is also Breast Cancer Awareness month, so your pre-orders will not only get you a fun novel about sorcery, but also put some cash toward a worthy cause.

Thank you all for sharing, tweeting, and especially placing those pre-orders. Only four more days, then I promise to get out of your hair for awhile. WE CAN DO THIS!
