Ricardo Henriquez commented on Storm of Fury
Andrew, don't feel disheartened by the lack of sales. The truth is, the chances of selling a book that doesn't exist yet to a complete stranger are quite slim. You are not the only one with this problem, all of us here at Inkshares have struggled with this. You have to concentrate your efforts on the people you know and their extended networks. Gather your closest friends and family members and ask them to brainstorm 2,3 or 5 people they may know that have the potential of buying your book and ask them to make a personal ask. Get your family to ask their co-workers, your siblings or cousins to ask their classmates. Right now a personal ask, word of mouth is your biggest selling tool. Until your book is edited and available to purchase, you are selling yourself, not your book. Trust me that is the best approach. You are a great writer, fans and followers will come once your book is out. Best of luck.

    Ricardo Henriquez liked an update for Storm of Fury

    Hello everyone,

    Sorry about the recent radio silence lately, but in truth, there really hasn't been anything happening here that warrants an update. We're currently sitting at 191 copies  of Storm of Fury sold, which leaves us with 59 books remaining and 45 days to sell them.

    The number of sales has increased since my last update, which is due to the fantastic efforts of my very generous family. And while every sale is a good one, I can't help but feel disheartened by it. There has been little to no growth in Storm of Fury's following, which is a very bad thing. While I may be able to sell a few here and there, very soon sales will grind to a halt.

    As we currently stand, we have to sell more than one copy each day, at the very least, in order to hit 250 copies in time. Some might begin to worry. Others might start to have doubts.

    But not me.

    I will not doubt this project, not for a single moment and not even in its final day. I do not take my writing lightly, and I've spent years crafting story after story, and I would not dare present one for publishing that wasn't worthy of an audience. I know Storm of Fury is a story worth reading and sharing, I know it's a novel worth publishing. I've seen the reviews my fellow peers and authors have left on SoF's page, and I've seen them rally to support me. The people here at Inkshares have helped SoF rise into the view of potential readers since day one, and I know they'll continue to do so until the end. I couldn't do this without the people I've met here and I couldn't do this without each and every one of you. You, my readers, are the most important part of this whole campaign. You're the reason I haven't given up, for I know that you will someday soon hold a copy of this book in your hands.

    Thank you. Thank you for your contributions and continued support.

    59 more copies? Peace of cake.

    -Andrew

      Hey Wonderful, possibly blizzardful people,

      The Sword and Laser Contest: The Sequel has ended and there are three new soon-to-be published authors in the world. Congratulations to The Last Machine in the Solar System by Matthew Isaac Sobin, Bones of the Past by Craig Munro, and officially joining us in The Sword and Laser Collection, The Animal in Man by Joseph Asphahani.

      Remember just because the contest is over doesn't mean there aren't plenty of deserving books trying to get published, so head over to the submission page and support an aspiring author before it was cool, like the hipster that you are.

      As for An Unattractive Vampire, it moves on. I have made final approvals to both the cover and interior, so it is off to the printers. Soon, oh so soon, you will each receive your warm, pulpy copy that you can touch and smell and lick...and...uh...read...because, haha, who does those other things? Am I right? Haha. Anyway, the publishing date is March 15, less than two months away and believe me, there will be publicity. I will update you as I start showing up on podcasts and news sites near you. Until then, enjoy this relative calm before the storm. Unless you're on the East Coast, in which case, just enjoy the storm.
