A heartfelt thank you
🕑 Added 2018-05-01 23:11:13 +0000 UTC Hi -- this is going to be a little bit of a different post today.Being a writer is weird because of the uncertainty. You never know what you're going to make until you make it, so planning can be tricky.
I just went over my finances today...and this month sucks. Last month was a motherficker. Lots of bills, my expensive health expenses, and Nora 1 didn't do well.
To put this into perspective, the ebooks for Nora sold less in the first month than I've sold in a single day on a Delvers book.
Patreon really saved my ass this month. Like, I can't deny it. Without you guys helping me out, I wouldn't have had to immediately leave writing this month yet, but I might have had to make some tough choices and write stuff that I know will sell rather that stuff I think is right for my library.
Now, please don't worry. I'm not starving, ends have been met, and I'm still very blessed, but I really owe you guys this month. Wow. Like, I stay busy as hell - I write full time, I run all my groups, we are growing GameLitRPG.com... I live pretty frugally and I usually don't worry much about finances, but the last couple months have been kind of a perfect storm.
So as a token of thanks this month, I am going to do a drawing for a special, signed copy of Delvers. This will ship anywhere in the world, no CONUS requirement.
This particular book will be one of the the last individually signed copies I do for a while through the mail, and will be the only signed Delvers book with this cover. I'll explain more later, but if you're the type who's into signed books and collector's editions, this should appeal to you.
Anyway, again and sincerely, thank you. You all inspire me, you help me stay true to my work, you're all fantastic at helping with ideas...
And you're great friends.
Thank you so much. I'll even forgive some of you for dubbing me the Magnificent Bastard.

Very soon. I'm setting up sales through ebay. I'll announce the sales here and in my FB group
Dustin Cross
Did the raffle get going for the book by the way?

Can I buy signed copies of books one through three? I want to make a custom set of hardcovers for them and add them to my shelf.

I'm going to post about it in another day or two to get the raffle started
Joshua d Wilson
How do I sign up to win?
Blaise Corvin

I live in Texas so you should just send it to me. Lower shipping cost will save you money all around!

I'll even draw hearts and kisses if the winner wants it

Glad you're making it. It's fun being part of the pro-Delvers team. What we gotta do to be entered in that drawing? And is the signature guaranteed to include curlicues?

I love Nora it deserves to do well

I'm loving the Nora Series, I promote your works in several book clubs I'm in. Hopefully Nora will catch on more as more people become aware of it.

My guess is that a lot of people don't even know it exists - same way they don't know SOO exists. Amazon is really bad for pushing out notifications. That's one reason we're building GameLitRPG.com

Now, that doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. I liked Nora and it is part of the Delvers world so why wouldn’t it sell well? I’m sorry to hear that and I would hate for you to have to go and do a commercial book though I think if you did, I would enjoy that as well. Anyway, thank you for being so open about your process and everything you share with us and I’m happy to be a patron and I will continue to do so for the future.
