Friends, Readers, and Sorcerers All,

Two updates this week. First, we broke 300 copies sold! Y’all got me like:


Second, SORCERY FOR BEGINNERS has been sent to our editor at Inkshares! It is very official and awesome. We’re talking about cover designs and illustrations and other cool stuff. I am very excited to get the editor’s notes and dive into the final re-write in January. 

Also, we are super-close to hitting number 3 on The List. Only 19 unique orders left to go. Do you know any friends with 10 year-old kids? People who like reading about magic? Breathing human beings who believe in goodness and light? Share the link to our project and see if they’d like to pick up a pre-order. It’s only $10. That’s less than a movie, and they’ll actually be making dreams come true. 

Thanks again for all your support -

    Jim & Bonnie Garrison recommended Sorcery for Beginners
    Sorcery for Beginners is apt. In the vein of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or Worst Case Scenario series, Sorcery for Beginners shepherds readers with a breadth of solutions for even the most trivial wizardry necessary in daily life; highly recommended

    Readers, Friends, and Sorcerers All,

    A couple of updates before my favorite holiday of the year. First, the Leaderboard for The List was posted on Sunday, and SORCERY FOR BEGINNERS is currently at #4! This is great news, but only the top three are guaranteed full marketing and distribution by Inkshares. So we need to sell some more copies. 30 more unique readers (that means new people buying books) would get us there. 

    If you haven’t purchased a pre-order, now is the time. Or if you have, beg someone you know to pick up a copy. In the spirit of the holiday, I would be very thankful. 

    We also have a NEW INCENTIVE! After weeks of design and discussion, we’re ready to unveil a very cool prize for everyone who picks up a pre-order at the Mage level or above. It’s a BOOKMARK!

    But not just any bookmark. This actually plays a key role in the novel itself. As you may know, Codex Arcanum is the bookstore where Owen first finds Sorcery for Beginners.  He is given this exact bookmark with his purchase, but pretty much forgets about it until much later, when the bookmark plays a key role in the final act of the story.

    If you look closely, there’s also an Easter Egg that hints at future books in the Codex Arcanum series. Let’s just say Sorcery is only one of many Arcane Fields of Study, which include Cryptozoology, Cryptocartography, Time Manipulation, and Multiverse Exploration, to name a few.

    But to get to those topics, we first need to publish this book and get it out to as wide an audience as possible. And YOU can help us do that. Please think about purchasing a pre-order if you haven’t already, and think about sharing this with your friends on Facebook and Twitter. It helps us out a ton.

    May you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving if you celebrate, and if you don’t, an excellent week. Again, I really appreciate the support!

    P.S. Special thanks to Juliane, who designed the bookmark!
