Way late on this. Obviously, I didn't make the cut. I came in sixth. Someday I'll have the time and resources to finish this book. In the meantime, thank you thank you thank you to my fans and supporters.

HANGING ON BY A THREAD!

OK, here’s the story. Cinnabar hangs on in 5th place with 461 preordered copies. The first place book has 532 (with others trailing at 517, 507 and 500). We have until MIDNIGHT TONIGHT to at least salvage a place in the top 5, though another contender is hot on my heels at 557.

BIG stakes here. The top five will all be published by the Sword & Laser collection. The rest, no.

**My last note said Cinnabar had 561 pre sold. That was a mistake. It's 461.

Tomorrow's the last day of the Sword & Laser contest.

All the best, Ed

Two more days in the Sword and Laser contest. Which book will draw the most preorders? Cinnabar was in the lead for several weeks, but now there are three others in front of me. (Go to Inkshares.com and click on "Sword and Laser contest" to see the running tally.)  Winning would mean money to edit and publish the book and funds to allow me the time to finish it. Can you help one more time? Can I catch up between now and Sunday? There's not such time. As always, grateful for your help. Yours, from the edge of the galaxy, Ed
