CONTEST!!!

An Adventure With Dada needs your help!!! 35 days left, 164 orders until Quill, BUT WE CAN DO THIS!!!

Two things:

First, if DADA reaches Quill, then someone will win this 1960’s Smith Corona suitcase typewriter!!!

It is fully functional, electricity-free, and ready to go! I will be cleaning it up and having it refurbished, but if DADA reaches Quill, then everyone will get their name put into a drawing for each recommendation, preorder, and review made, so there are plenty of opportunities for multiple entries...I will cover shipping to anywhere!

Also, NO MATTER WHAT, if you preorder An Adventure With Dada, I will send you a .pdf file of the entire first draft!

I love this book, and I’d love to see it published, but honestly, I just want it to be read. So! Even if the book does not get funded, I will send the entire first draft to every reader who preordered! This means that if you preorder and DADA does not fund, your money will be refunded BUT YOU STILL GET THE BOOK.

But if DADA funds, then you get the book, and a chance to win a piece of writing history.

Not a bad deal, eh?

And fellow authors, I’m up for looking at your book and discussing a trade, if you’re into that sorta thing...

LET’S GET DADA FUNDED!!!!

Love and love and love and love,

-Michael/Dada

P.S.- After every multiple of 25 is reached (starting at 100 orders), I will raffle off the opportunity to name a character in the book. There are a ton of little devils and other various atrocities of hell involved, so there are plenty of names to go around...

Michael Haase recommended Borehole Bazaar: A Vow Unbroken

This is written with expert language and imagery. This book is brave, complex, and unique. I'd love to see it funded.

Borehole Bazaar: A Vow Unbroken

Surviving abuse leaves no soul unscathed, and this is especially true of Ptielieren, an elite elvish bodyguard involuntarily integrated into an aversive-heavy culture. Strength can exist absent a ringing victory and weakness does not signify defeat.

Michael Haase liked an update for Destiny Imperfect

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!

For those of you not down with the lingo, beta readers read an initial draft of the book and give feedback for edits for the final manuscript submission. I have a great crew aboard, four strong thus far. But if you have any interest in being a beta reader for Mr. Butler, then speak up now and send me a direct message on Inkshares!

I’m very proud of how this story has blossomed. I rewrote a lot of it, and it’s all for the better. I haven’t changed the bare bones of the story, so don’t panic. It’s still the same basic idea that you funded. But it’s better now.

Thank you for your patience and support. I’m looking to submit the final manuscript to Inkshares in late August/early September. I plan on the wait being well worth it. Thank you for everything.

My other book, An Adventure With Dada: Escape From Hell, is in trouble. 37 days, and 164 orders to go.

Dada needs your help!

As I have said, once 100 orders are achieved, I will release the ENTIRE FIRST DRAFT TO READ. Yup! That’s gonna happen. You can read the book after investing just a little bit of money, and then everyone can decide, based upon the entire book, whether or not the rest is worth funding. I’m that happy with this little dark comedy inspired by parenthood.

Also...

I’m announcing my FIRST EVER CONTEST!

Once, not if, everyone pulls their weight around An Adventure With Dada, and the book passes 250 preorders and Quill status, I will put everyone’s name who helped get the book where it is into a drawing to win this nice, fully functional 1960’s Smith Corona Typewriter. I’m in the process of polishing, cleaning, and oiling it:

It’s one of those amazing portable typewriters that comes in its own suitcase. It works 100% and I’ve replaced the ribbon and will get it professionally restored. These things go for $150 easily when they’re in good condition like this. Plus, you can take it anywhere to write, as it is purely mechanical, no electricity needed.

Once Dada funds, I will put everyone’s name into a drawing to win this wonderful piece of history. I will ship it anywhere. In order to get your name into the drawing, you must do one or more of the following:

1. Preorder An Adventure With Dada

2. Write a review for An Adventure With Dada

3. Recommend An Adventure With Dada

4. Critique An Adventure With Dada

Each time you do any of the above, your name will be entered into the drawing. If you do all four items above, your name will go in four times, unless you also order multiple copies of An Adventure With Dada, in which case you will receive an additional entry for each copy you order. The drawing will not occur if the book does not make it to Quill. If that is the case, everyone’s money gets refunded anyway, so what’s the risk?

If you have already ordered or recommended the book, then you are already entered. Please let me know if you have any questions by sending me a direct message on here.

Thank you for all of your support! Let’s get An Adventure With Dada FUNDED!!!

-Michael/Dada
