Ashley Grigsby liked an update for Not Afraid of the Fall

Hello Not Afraid of the Fall team,

Now that the dust has settled from the stampede of last minute preorders that ultimately propelled us over the goal and into the land of full publishing... I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you once again.

Inkshares is unique. They take the time to find what I like to think of as "Diamonds in the rough". They give first time authors, like myself, an opportunity to prove that their book, their idea, their experience is worth the professional editing, marketing, creative direction and developing that Inkshares has to offer. They give people an opportunity to put in the time and effort required to convince people that this book is worth having on their bookshelf at home. None of this is guaranteed, it simply an opportunity.

This opportunity was very close to slipping away. 

As Ashley and I watched the clock tick away Saturday, with hundreds of preorders left to reach the goal, I thought it was over. I thought that there was no possible way to obtain the same amount of preorders in ONE DAY that we had in the last FOUR MONTHS COMBINED. 

Then you guys happened. 

We received an overwhelming amount of support from people like you. When numerous people reached out to tell us that they were tracking the preorder bar at home, at the bar, even at weddings... I could not believe how lucky Ashley and I are to have this support. 

Thank you. Thank you for not only preordering this book, but also sharing statuses, videos and the book itself to your friends and family. This is our accomplishment and I am excited to have you on the team as we continue this journey.

This is just the beginning and there is a lot of work to be done, but I am excited to see where this book will go.

I will keep you updated every step of the way on the progress of the editing, developing, marketing etc...

THANK YOU

Your inspired author,

Kyle James

    Check out the "Not Afraid of the Fall" Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/notafraidofthefall/) to see the video clip that accompanies this excerpt from the book:

    "Jumping for the first time is scary. I wasn’t afraid of landing on anything. The water that resembled blue Gatorade was clearly twenty feet deep. I also wasn’t afraid of drowning. I am not a great swimmer, but I am a magnificent water-treader. What scared me was the fall itself. I was afraid of jumping because as soon as I left the familiarity of my rock, I was no longer in control. I couldn’t decide that I preferred the comfort of my rock halfway to the sea and turn back. It was all or nothing. Gravity would take over and whether I was ready or not, I would be seeing my rock from a different perspective. Despite the fear of the unknown, I decided I had spent enough time on this rock and jumped. When gravity introduced me to the Adriatic, she welcomed me with open arms."

    P.S. - For those of you not counting  at home, we only have 40 days left to reach the 750 preording goal! This means we need all hands on deck! Please share this with your friends, colleagues and family to spread the word!

    I know we can do this. After all, they don’t call it March Madness for nothing.
