We're almost at 50 copies. I joined the contest on September 8th. Books 1 - 15 show up on the Nerdist Contest front page. The 15th has 95 readers, as of this writing. If you could each get just one additional person to pre-order my book, I would be that much closer the top-15 after only a week of being the contest.

That initial copy, with the credits that Inkshares offers, can be picked up at no-cost to a new Inkshares user. Please impress that upon your networks. I've been shilling hard for the books I believe in and people are buying them: Ghosts of War, Single Version, She is the End, God in the Shed ... the list goes on. So many worthy titles. I believe in them. I want to see us all succeed.

While it's going to take some serious generosity for Disintegration to make a real dent, I will take any and all orders. Those one-copy orders are how I've gotten within touching distance of 15th place after less than a week (or not, I misperceived copies vs. actual readers, so my enthusiasm was bit premature, but still) ... so, let's keep chipping ... chip and chip, piece-by-piece, just like Andy Dufresne in Shawshank, until we break through, and break out.

I appreciate your support. I believe in this story, and I hope that you do, too, because I need your belief to pique the interest of your friends, of people you know would like this book.

I'd need a real boost to break the top-5, and even the top-10. But that first page of titles in the Nerdist Contest is right there, with in reach. Let's have Disintegration crash the party. Let's get my book into the top-15.

Let's take the underdog story up to where the big dogs are.
