Just over 24 hours to go! We are almost there!!!
We even made it into 2nd place for a while again last night (Sorry Matt!)
Just one more little push and we can do it! Any of you who are following but haven’t pre-ordered, I would be extremely grateful if you could do so before the end of the contest! Any fellow inkshares authors, I will be more than happy to reciprocate (if I’ve missed anyone so far please pitch me and I’ll fix that).
Also, if any of you haven’t yet, I have to ask once more – please recommend the book to a friend, family member or acquaintance. We are soooooo close to a full publishing deal!!! I think I am excited and terrified in equal measure!
I also wanted to thank Cedrick Lui for this amazing blog post he recently posted about The Bones of the Past: http://www.cedricklui.com/blog/2016/1/8/bones-of-the-past-fantasy-novel
Cedrick is the man behind the Son of God Digital Comic which you should all check out as well!
Thank you, thank you, thank you yet again for all your help and support!
Tuesday update time! Except its Wednesday because I forgot until late last night that yesterday was Tuesday... The hecticness has done a number on my ability to remember days apparently.
Only 9 days left to get Exile, Magus into Quill and your hands! We have continued to make progress with daily sales in the low numbers as well as daily follower gains, but ultimately the sales are not coming in as quickly as they need to be considering the short time remaining. I'm continuing to push hard, but if we're going to get Exile, Magus out with this campaign then I really need all of you who have followed but haven't ordered yet to please order now. We're currently at 84 sold between 76 readers, and with 280 followers that means if the 204 of you who haven't ordered were to order then we would be at 288 preorders which is well above the Quill goal. Help me get this book published and into your hands!
Gah I was mentioned on the Sword & Laser podcast! Deus Hex Machina is officially FAMOUS! If you haven't watched the latest episode, they interview the current top three Inkshares finalists, and then mention my book at the end. Very exciting stuff. I loved Craig's story about his wife and how he started writing.
We are currently at 94 orders, and the incomparable A.C. Weston has graciously decided to run a little contest in support of DHM. If we get ten more people ordering, up to 104, then she will raffle off an original inked panel she's creating from the DHM graphic novel to one of those ten people. So awesome, I cannot handle it! Check out just one of the awesome panels here:
She's just so good, isn't she? I was so honored when she said she wanted to try her hand at a page from the old script. This sort of makes me want to update the script with the changes from the novel and get the whole thing drawn...but novel first! Focus Mandie!
Anyway, if you want a chance be one of the next ten people to order the DHM!
Lastly, we are halfway to my next novel giveaway raffle, and only 65 orders away from 5th place. I know it seems like a long way to go, but we have a lot of followers so maybe these two contests will pull some lurkers out of the woodwork. I would love nothing more than to end this contest in 5th and maybe even 4th place. I think it's important to have a woman in the top five, don't you?
Alright, I hope I get the chance to do a raffle drawing today, so I'll say see ya later rather than goodbye. Cheers!
