HARK! There is news!
Children of the Teller has received some positive feedback early on in the Inkshares/Geek & Sundry Fantasy contest. Despite this, our sales are off to a slow start. I have devised a brilliant plan to help ramp up this effort and get it off to a better start - RAFFLES! Everyone loves a good raffle, right?
Allow me to elaborate - Children of the Teller is still in production, meaning that I have a lot of creative freedom with names going forward. So here’s what we’ll do - as sales reach each goal, I will (randomly) choose one person to name A Thing within the story.
- At 20 orders, a fortunate soul gets to name a town to be featured in the story.
- At 50 orders, another fortunate soul gets to name a horse (it’s a fantasy story after all - the horses are always named).
- At 100 orders, a winning name will get to name a sword.
- At 150 orders, a lucky personage of high standing shall bestow a moniker upon a character.
- AND AT 250 ORDERS, a person of incredibly blessed stars will be asked to create a minor character to boost the plot at the opportune moment.
- At 500 orders...ooh, you’d love to know that, wouldn’t you? You’ll just have to stay tuned for that momentous announcement.
Of course I reserve the right to tell you your name is a dumb one and if you name anything in the spirit of "Boaty McBoatface" I’ll simply ignore it and move on to the next person in line. Don’t make me do that, please?
So if you want the opportunity to name things, you should definitely share this information with all of your family and friends and random strangers that fix your coffee at Starbucks this afternoon.
Happy reading!
