Good morning everyone!
DAX COUNTDOWN: 11 days remaining, 53 orders to publishing
Well, this is it folks. It's been a valiant effort, but we are most definitely down to the wire now. If you've been following the book and have yet to pre-order, now is the time. If you already bought the book, but you have some spare Inkshares credits to use, a 2nd order would be much appreciated. If you have friends or family who might also be interested in contributing, now is the time to spread the word and get them to order ASAP!
Hopefully, this Saturday's Review-A-Thon event will help push those final orders through. In case you forgot about that, here's a nifty reminder courtesy of fellow author
A.C. Weston...
.
On December 19th, all authors and readers are invited to leave reviews on currently funding Inkshares books using the Inkshares "leave a review" option.
Throughout the day we'll be hanging out on Twitter in the
#InksharesReviews tag as we share our favorite book projects, answer author Q&As, debate the merits of astronauts with swords versus cavemen with lasers, and more!
Then, from
3 - 5pm PST (6 - 8pm Eastern),
JF Dubeau and
Paul Inman of the
WriteBrain Podcast will be hosting a video livestream filled with author interviews, review readings, and live announcements of prize winners!
Prizes?!?!Everyone who leaves a review on
December 19th by 3pm PST (6pm Eastern) will be eligible to win one of our fantastic general prizes:
- Sword & Laser Contest Winners Package - print copies of the six winning books from the Sword & Laser Inkshares contest!
- Nerdist Contest Winners Package - print copies of the five winning books from the Nerdist Inkshares contest!
- An immediate pre-order of the book of their choice for five winners!
- $30 in Inkshares credits!
Readers: Peruse the "currently funding" books on Inkshares and leave as many reviews as you want on Dec 19th. You could even start up a "must-have" list of books to order in case you win a free pre-order or the $30 in credits!
Authors: Join our review exchange to leave three reviews in exchange for two guaranteed reviews on your Inkshares project and a chance at author-exclusive prizes! Email AC Weston at
cara.c.weston@gmail.com to learn more and get on the list.

And finally, I would like to extend my gratitude to fellow authors
Jim McDoniel,
Thomas J. Arnold and
Joseph Asphahani, who gave Dax some lovely shout-outs this past week. Be sure to check out their own projects at the links below. You should also keep them in mind for the Review-A-Thon!
Cheers!
Tony
