Hey guys,

This is just a quick reminder that tomorrow at 12:00 GMT (about 14 hours from now) all of you who have pre-ordered SQUIDS IN will be entered into a raffle to win one of three cuddly octopuses from the Disney Store, in recognition of the international launch of the film "Find Dory".

if you have yet to place a pre-order, get it in now to be in with a chance of winning your own cuddly octopus.

Have a great weekend!

Matthew

Wednesday night I headed over too Berkeley for the Trekonomics signing event. Had a great time listening to people talk Trek and got to meet the author himself. Very inspiring to meet a very successful Inkshares author. Even got my copy Signed!

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

I’ve posted the novel’s new Prologue chapter, along with updated versions of Chapters 1 & 2. Any feedback is welcome, as I’d love to see reader’s thoughts on the updates. Looking ahead, I’m beginning work on marketing for the novel’s Summer push for pre-orders. Over the next month, I’ll be posting additional samples and promo-material, including artwork, pins, and posters. 

I know I haven’t updated the Inkshares page as often as I would have liked, but hopefully I can keep to this schedule going forward. I also noticed that I’ve picked up a considerable number of new followers. Thank you for subscribing either to the book, or to myself, and please consider pre-ordering a copy of The Children of the Forest if you’ve yet to do so. 

That’s all for today ~ enjoy the new chapters and keep your eyes peeled for more in the coming days.
