Kelsey Rae Barthel liked an update for How to Remember

Hi, readers! We did it!! 260 copies as of today. I’m so excited. We’ve raised $32 for Babywearing International of Akron Youngstown, and this book is going to happen!

I’m taking a break from campaigning - once I know more details, I’ll continue to update. I’m putting together a marketing plan, and I need to revise the book when it comes back from its manuscript review. I will also be posting companion short stories on the Lost Memories Inkshares page. I have some blog posts set up for my website. Finally, I’m drafting a new novel, which is not part of the MindTech world, but I hope you’ll love it too. 

I don’t want to overwhelm your inboxes, so please follow me on social media for all the good stuff :-)

And, if you didn’t already know, I’m the cohost of a book review podcast, and Beth and I have just begun recording again. The ABC Book Reviews is on Soundcloud, and our RSS goes out to Stitcher and iTunes as well. We just posted an interview with fellow Inkshares author Becca Spence Dobias, author of Rock of Ages. Check it out!!

    425 orders! Amazing!

    That means we have 325 to go with 62 days left. I’ve talked to almost everyone I know, so now I need your help. Please send your link to folks you know, in a Facebook message or email (not just posting or tweeting...make it as personalized as you can so folks know you are asking them specifically!). I’m going to be doing some special prizes for my top referrers (Think Amazon gift cards and other good stuff!). 

    I’m meeting with someone from the Claremont Courier tomorrow and I just recorded with ABC Book Review Podcast so there will be some new press out soon.

    We’re getting there! Thank you so much for your support!

      Kelsey Rae Barthel sent an update for Beyond The Code

      Today’s the day!! 

      Yes, today is PUBLICATION DAY!!

      That’s right. Now you can go into most major book stores and ask for Beyond the Code. You can go to Amazon and order it right now. It’s AVAILABLE!!!! The long wait it finally over! 

      I am officially a published author and it feels amazing, but I’m not done yet. Now I have the task of making Beyond the Code a success and you can help. If you haven’t pre-ordered Beyond the Code, you can go to any major book like Indigo, Chapters, or Coles, and ask for Beyond the Code. If enough people show interest, they might think that Beyond the Code deserves a place on their shelves. Not only would that make it more accessible to people out of the loop, it would make a dream of mine a reality. 

      If you already have a copy and you still want to help out in building the books success. You can go to Amazon.ca, Amazon.com, or Goodreads and leave a review or rating to let me know what you thought. The more reviews Beyond the Code gets, especially through Amazon, the more exposure it will receive. Reviews are an authors best friend. 

      Thank you all for following me clear to the finish line and I hope you love this little slice of my imagination.

        We’re up to 327 orders! 
        6 of those are from today so that’s $6 so far I’ll be sending to Room to Read, an organization that supports literacy and gender equality in education. Please help me send more their way! I’ll be giving $1 for every order I get before midnight.

        In other exciting news, I was featured on the website of the Bonner Foundation today! The Bonner Program "provides diverse, predominantly low-income students with an ’Access to Education and Opportunity to Serve.’ It was such an important part of my college experience and I’m so proud to still be a part of the Bonner community! Check it out here:

        Please keep sharing the book with your friends and family! Thank you all for your amazin support so far!
