Greetings Destiny-followers,
Destiny Imperfect is taking time out from its hectic Thailand best man duties and wishes to thank you all for the support over the last few days. Firstly, we are at 97 readers (101 pre-orders – yay!). It would be absolutely fantastic to crack the 100 readers as soon as possible. So if you’re in the position to do so, a pre-order would be great!
Destiny Imperfect would also like to give an enormous thanks to Evan Graham and his awesome book Tantalus Depths! Evan dug deep and did some heavy duty referring for Destiny. You are the man, Mr. Graham! If you haven’t ordered Tantalus Depths, get on over there and get an order in.
I’d also like to give a shout out to a couple of my competitors in the Inkshares/Nerdist contest. There’s only room for two of us in the top three (first having long since ridden off into the sunset), but if these two kick my butt, then we’re in for a treat. Alisa King’s Are You Sure You Want to Quit is making Destiny’s life tough at the top. And why not? It looks like a gem – check it out and pre-order. And an early favorite of Destiny’s, Matthew Poat’s Squids In, is also worth pre-ordering.
Anyway, thank you all very much! Let’s get out there and try to hit the hundred reader mark! Destiny Imperfect will do its best to lend all the support it can! Right after this next beer …
Cheers,
Peter
The Beta readers have been contacted for Mr. Butler!
Greetings Destiny-followers,
When the going gets tough, the tough go to Thailand. The top of the contest leader board is sure getting crowded. Despite this pressure, Destiny Imperfect has a hot date with a cold beer on a tropical island beach! But why run? Stay and fight, Destiny Imperfect, I hear you implore. Destiny Imperfect is no slacker, but Destiny Imperfect is also a book of its word. And Destiny Imperfect is to be ‘best man’ at a most excellent friend’s wedding. And, as mentioned, the prospect of cold beer is not at all unappealing.
So what am I going to do while I am temporarily internet-lite? Well I’m going to toss you all the keys to the hot rod and see where you can drive this baby! Friends, family - get them all on board (it’s a trans dimensional hot rod) and have them pre-order. If you’re following and haven’t pre-ordered yet, come on in, the water’s fine! It would be fantastic to see the book still hovering around the top 3 by the time I return; hungover, sunburned and jetlagged (not everything about tropical islands is glamorous). Follow the link and share the love!
Cheers,
Peter
YAY!!!!! Two landmarks were reached tonight! I’ll be running the raffle tomorrow morning with announcements to come. Remember, one entry per book purchased!
The other, immediately gratifying landmark is that we are at the 140 follower mark!!! This means that Chapter Four: A Small Concession is up for perusal. Here, we begin to understand why our arrogant protagonist is still alive and we begin to see him start to fall into the dangers of routine. It’s worth a gander.
I am so pleased with every last one of you who have helped to make this dream come true! I am truly honored by your support, your belief and, from a fair number of you, from your delectable Pre-Orders. It truly means the world to me that y’all are helping to make this aspiration a reality!
OH! In case y’all didn’t know, I’ve written this book, it’s sequel, and all the books from it to book 8. This is a fully fleshed world and, despite all the pain and terrible choices presented, hope and the ability to mitigate harm flows through it. This isn’t just an excuse to torment an elitist elf; it’s a look at humility, the deep reserves of inner strength that come when external sources cannot offer aid, and the trials necessary to develop empathy.
I wish everyone an amazing day and tons of success! Seriously, y’all are fantastic.
