Happy Friday!!

Well, Adventure Readers & Air Pirates ... We made it!

Just a few days ago, we made it past the 250 preorder mark, so "Wings of the Pirate" will be published by Inkshares sometime in 2017.  It has been a long hard road to sell a book that is completed, but not published yet, but I am so very grateful to all of you who have shown their support.  We still have twenty some days until the campaign ends, so if a Treasure Hunting pair in the South Pacific, flying around in seaplanes is your taste, go ahead and place that preorder.  The more orders received means the more promotional resources the publisher will  put toward selling the book.

To show my gratitude, I will be raffling off a hand-painted Grumman Seaplane model representative of what our hero and heroine fly around in during the tale.  Contrary to what my kids and I think, my wife informed me that not everyone gets as excited about seaplanes as I do.  So ... to give away even more tokens of gratitude, I will also do a raffle for the newly published "Wings of the Pirate - Adventure Coloring Book".  Illustrator, Al P. Bringas did over 30 sketches for the novel and I put some of them along with a bit of story in a coloring book for all ages.  

Here’s what we’ll do:  Send me a message (Inkshares or email: leandogs@gmail.com) if you’re interested in the Grumman Seaplane model and I will put all those names in a hat to be drawn on November 7th.  All other names will be put in a hat and 10 separate winners will be chosen to receive a free Wotp coloring book.  Of course, for each order, you will have a chance to win (multiple orders = multiple chances).  If you haven’t already, put your order in before we do the drawing and let me know if you’re interested in owning a seaplane!

Thank you for all you wonderful support and making this book happen.

Sincerely,

your Flying Boat Captain,

O Supporter, Well-Wisher, and Fan of Fine Literature,

This is it: the final week of the Geek & Sundry fantasy novel contest. The last days to join (and help others join) the growing host who are treating themselves to a great novel and helping the world become a better place. The glorious finale of this epic campaign, and the perfect opportunity to put this thing over the top.

Here’s what you can do to make this the ne plus ultra of literary launches:

1) If you haven’t pre-ordered yet, you would be an outstanding human being if you did so. Precipitantly. Joyfully. With great anticipation! Like, right now.

2) Take 4 minutes to call out a friend, coworker, sibling, neighbor, mentor, or other brilliant person--by name--with a short email. "Hey, [name of visionary friend]! I’ve found this awesome novel, Leaf Falling, that you can get in in on from the get-go if you pre-order it on Inkshares. I’ve done it, and I feel like the sun shines brighter, the birds sing with more haunting beauty, and I may have achieved some small measure of transcendence. Join me, my friend! Give it a look! https://www.inkshares.com/books/leaf-falling" would do nicely.

3) Take a moment to bask in the warm glow of your own excellence for having supported the novel. I can’t adequately express my gratitude for your support.

Onward and upward!
