Happy Friday all,
I have a few updates for this weekend, but having already sent an update this week, I’ll make it snappy.
(1) 14 Orders left to reach Full INKSHARES Publishing !! That’s right, you can stop rubbing your eyes! We have 15 days to get less than an order per day.. are we up for it?!
(2) Please check out my interview on Nell Walton’s great blog. Nell offered this feature even though the novel has nothing to do with SciFi or Fantasy , I did say I’ll look into sticking a dragon in there... Khaleesi John maybe? ;-)

(3) The Syndicate I lead here on Inkshares "Thriller Night" now has a Goodreads group. This is in effort to increase exposure of thrillers, mysteries and suspense novels on Inkshares; and to increase Inkshares’ visibility on Goodreads. We let authors who are nominated for our backing pitch their books, and a few have already done so. We encourage membership from everybody, not just paying syndicate members. You are invited through this link.
Again, thank you all for the amazing support!

Hello everyone!
Hi all - we’re on 430 pre-orders!
Here’s just a quick reminder that from every order pushed from this link https://goo.gl/3bTKYB I have pledged 3.5$ (2£) to Norwood UK children charity. Since it’s a worthy cause, I’ve cynically recruited my son Daniel to help, as he does like his thrillers...

Thank you all!!
Hi all,
A quick "just before the weekend" update:
My good friend Omer Sagiv, who’s an amazingly talented industrial/concept designer and artist (do yourself a favour and check out his stuff at http://www.omersagiv.com) has decided that the old book cover simply had to go. Even though I urged him not to (it is after-all temporary) he went ahead and designed a more "in the spirit of the novel" book cover. I personally think it turned out great - would love to hear your take on that.
By the way, this is not meant to take anything away from Dious’ gorgeous photo that will keep serving as the theme of the novel.
We are currently at 412 orders, which is an amazing number as such, but still about 10% below the optimal figure at this stage. I’ll take the opportunity and thank Auntie Ilana, who joined our forces and started actively finding me readers.
Do you have what it takes to refer readers too? top referrers will get a prize (which admittedly I don’t know what it will be yet - but it will have something to do with the novel).
In case you forgot, the next 38 orders will grant you a place in the raffle of a character named after you!!
Furthermore, if you haven’t already checked James Rasile’s excellent novel Cape’s Side Bay and Brian Fitzpatrick’s ingenious Mechcraft, then you are missing out! Both (not)incidentally are top guys that are actively helping me find readers.
I’ll part with the best weekend wishes, and the usual "this is a great day to order a Spymaster and be part of the patron list inside the book" greeting.
All the best,
Joni D.
