Greetings Everyone!

A couple of months ago, I stepped into Inkshares without truly understanding the site, how it worked, or its potential. It's a terrific platform which I took too long to appreciate and allowed to languish as a result. My plan had been to allow The Devil You Know to quietly slip past its funding deadline and simply self-publish it after I'd finished the editing process.

Then, yesterday, Inkshares announced a new contest in association with Sword and Laser. I've been a fan of their podcast and the GoodReads group for a couple of years and thought it would be really fun to be a part of that awesome collection of nerds *proudly waves nerd flag* and so I decided to my hat, er, book in the ring.

The contest runs until January 15. The top three backed projects will be considered by the good folks at Sword and Laser for publication and promotion by the group.

So, here's where you come in. Those of you who had already backed The Devil You Know should have received your credits and/or money back last night or this morning as everyone participating in the contest has to start fresh. My hope is that you liked either the concept or my writing enough to throw your support back in for this 45 day push.

To those of you who've followed, but not ordered yet, I ask you to simply let me know what would tip the scales for you. Would you like to see more chapters? Do you want to know more about me? Is there something that turned you off within the description or the writing? I'm all ears. Feel free to express any opinion.

Starting today, my goal is to accumulate as many credits as I can and begin supporting my fellow authors and contest participants. A rising tide lifts all boats. You won't hear from me in this fashion often. I don't want to spam your inbox. But know that I'm grateful for every follow, comment, share, and order! Readers are the reason I write. Thank you!
