Under a day in, and...wow. Just wow!

Update #1 · Jun 12, 2012 · 2 comments

14% already? In under 24 hours? That's nuts, folks. Nuts and awesome! And it's all because of you! Thank you so much for your support in this project. I am shocked and in awe of you guys and gals, and I just wanted to take this time to let you know how much I appreciate it. I mean it. Thank you.

In related news--since this is an update, after all--Falon sent me some more drafts of the cover yesterday. They're superb. I think we're closing in on a final design that really fits the tone of the novel. The image and layout are going to stay the same as the cover in the sample, and now we're having to nitpick fonts and that kind of thing. Right now, we feel the cover's font is too "generic fantasy novel," which is certainly not Birthright! It's anything but a generic fantasy novel, right? 

So as soon as a decision is made and the final cover is ready to be unveiled, y'all will be the first to know. Exciting stuff!

Thanks again. You guys really are awesome. Now get out there and spread the word!

      Tony, you make sure you let me know when you get a project or a book online, alright? Because I feel the exact same way. :)
