Chris Robinson liked an update for Ghosts of War

Hey guys,

From now on I'll be doing updates of a Friday, I think having them be regular like that will make things a bit neater. Also since the Nerdist comp has ended there isn't as much of a need for frequent updates on campaign progress. So without further ado.

 

Ghosts of War has made it to 150 unique readers! (with thanks to Tabi Card for being number 150). Here's a very quick look at the stats for the campaign so far:

  • 294 followers
  • 150 unique readers
  • 234 copies sold
So we're pretty close to some cool milestones and all going well we should hit them soon.

Massive thanks to everyone who pitched in during the Nerdist comp and specifically Phil, Stacey and my Mum who helped bring in a good portion of my current sales.

On the writing front, I've set myself a deadline for completing the 1st draft, and my thinking is that by telling all of you, I have no choice but to stick to it.

So barring an act of God I'll have a finished draft by the 30th of October.

After that I'll be participating in NaNoWriMo which is where you're challenged to write 50,000 words in a month. I did it last year, which was how I wrote the first 50k of Ghosts of War, and I'm rather looking forward to it again this year. 

This time I'll be using the month to do some revisions of Ghosts of War but mainly to start outlining and developing the story for it's sequel Ghosts of War: Restitution. 

So, there are some exciting times ahead, thanks for coming on the ride.

    Chris Robinson liked an update for Blood Dawn

    GREAT NEWS!

    Blood Dawn just jumped from being 1/10th of the way to its funding goal, to being almost 1/4. This happened all in a split-second!


    That's right -- check out my project page. Inkshares lowered my funding goal so I now only need 1,000 pre-orders to reach my publication goal. With 6 months to go, and given how quickly momentum has grown just over the last 2 months (and let's not mention all the tricks I have up my sleeve to amp up my outreach more and more with each month to come), I'm very encouraged. This book is going to be real, published, in your hands, out there for epic fantasy fans to enjoy.

    Please keep spreading the word. If you have followed this book recently, I'd appreciate your support right now. Head over to my Blood Dawn page (https://www.inkshares.com/projects/blood-dawn) and look at the three options for how you can back it.

    Right now there are about 100 readers following Blood Dawn who have not ordered a copy. If every one of you became a Dragon backer (7 copies), we would be at 1,000. We'd be done, just like this -- as quickly as the funding goal dropped from 2,500 to 1,000. That's an amazing thought, even if it is ambitious.

    If all of you became God-Kings (3 copies), we'd be more than 50% to the funding goal. Regardless, if each of you ordered a copy Blood Dawn would be so much further ahead.

    And of course, regardless of what you choose to do, I am overwhelmed by all the interest this book is generating. While I continue to make this book as amazing as it can be, I'm encouraged by the growing reader community.

    This is a great moment for Blood Dawn and what lies ahead!

      Chris Robinson liked an update for Disintegration

      Hey, all. I've been quiet because it's been quiet. Thankfully, I've yet to have a day with no orders, but things have been really lean since the contest ended. I'm right on the verge of falling behind the "ideal" funding goal, which -- by "ideal" -- means I won't get funded unless the orders really pick up.

      To those of who have followed but haven't ordered ... why are you following? I'm genuinely curious. Are you waiting to see if Disintegration is a "winner" before piling on? You can certainly help winning be the case by ordering. Or are you just sitting there with popcorn waiting for the explosion? The book has lots of them. If that's what you're after, order a copy.

      I'm hoping to recoup, at Comic Con, some of the losses over the last five days. I'll be handing out these cards:

        Chris Robinson liked an update for The Catcher's Trap


        Dear Friends we reached 750 orders!

        Thanks to all of you who have supported me, to those of you who have ordered more than one copy of the book and to those of you who have shared the link with your friends and family.

        This means The Catcher’s Trap will become a published book!

        I don’t want to be sappy, but I have to (start playing Sarah McLachlan song) The young immigrant who came to this country 15 years ago, barely speaking English but full of hopes and dreams, never thought this dream would come true; thanks to all of you it has.

        So now we keep pushing. 43 days to go and 250 more books to sell.

        If you have not pre-order a copy of The Catcher’s Trap, please do. If you have already, please spread the word; hitting 1000 copies will be hard!

         

        thanks
