Paul Inman liked an update for Ghosts of War

Hey guys,

From now on I'll be doing updates of a Friday, I think having them be regular like that will make things a bit neater. Also since the Nerdist comp has ended there isn't as much of a need for frequent updates on campaign progress. So without further ado.

Ghosts of War has made it to 150 unique readers! (with thanks to Tabi Card for being number 150). Here's a very quick look at the stats for the campaign so far:

294 followers
150 unique readers
234 copies sold

So we're pretty close to some cool milestones and all going well we should hit them soon.

Massive thanks to everyone who pitched in during the Nerdist comp and specifically Phil, Stacey and my Mum who helped bring in a good portion of my current sales.

On the writing front, I've set myself a deadline for completing the 1st draft, and my thinking is that by telling all of you, I have no choice but to stick to it.

So barring an act of God I'll have a finished draft by the 30th of October.

After that I'll be participating in NaNoWriMo which is where you're challenged to write 50,000 words in a month. I did it last year, which was how I wrote the first 50k of Ghosts of War, and I'm rather looking forward to it again this year.

This time I'll be using the month to do some revisions of Ghosts of War but mainly to start outlining and developing the story for it's sequel Ghosts of War: Restitution.

So, there are some exciting times ahead, thanks for coming on the ride.

Paul Inman liked an update for Blood Dawn

GREAT NEWS!

Blood Dawn just jumped from being 1/10th of the way to its funding goal, to being almost 1/4. This happened all in a split-second!

That's right -- check out my project page. Inkshares lowered my funding goal so I now only need 1,000 pre-orders to reach my publication goal. With 6 months to go, and given how quickly momentum has grown just over the last 2 months (and let's not mention all the tricks I have up my sleeve to amp up my outreach more and more with each month to come), I'm very encouraged. This book is going to be real, published, in your hands, out there for epic fantasy fans to enjoy.

Please keep spreading the word. If you have followed this book recently, I'd appreciate your support right now. Head over to my Blood Dawn page (https://www.inkshares.com/projects/blood-dawn) and look at the three options for how you can back it.

Right now there are about 100 readers following Blood Dawn who have not ordered a copy. If every one of you became a Dragon backer (7 copies), we would be at 1,000. We'd be done, just like this -- as quickly as the funding goal dropped from 2,500 to 1,000. That's an amazing thought, even if it is ambitious.

If all of you became God-Kings (3 copies), we'd be more than 50% to the funding goal. Regardless, if each of you ordered a copy Blood Dawn would be so much further ahead.

And of course, regardless of what you choose to do, I am overwhelmed by all the interest this book is generating. While I continue to make this book as amazing as it can be, I'm encouraged by the growing reader community.

This is a great moment for Blood Dawn and what lies ahead!
