Welcome to my world.... where getting killed in one of my books won't write you out of the story. Curious? Visit My Official Website to read a few chapters!

Need a HEAD COUNT, Please...

All right folks, it's about time I took an informal survey to have some idea how many copies of "Zion Rising" (that'll be BOOK 3, those who are waiting!) I'll need to order.

Since there's been a LONG wait, I'm willing to put out a First Edition on my own while I shop it to publishers. (Yes... my 2nd publisher also ceased to publish books last year, so I have to start all over... again) I have several options to look into, but the bottom line is business, and I don't want to wind up with too many--I can always reprint.

So... if you're waiting, AND are going to BUY the book, not just snag a copy from your friend (which is OK! I'm happy you're reading it!), please leave a comment here with a # of how many you'd pre-order.

This is NOT an official pre-order call! I need a better spreadsheet before I work that out.

But if we're all lucky, and it's a green light from the first readers without massive plot rewrites, my hope is to have something available to all you wonderful people before the year is out. Keep praying for me... I do need them. :)

Thanks!

PS: I'm doing a scary thing here and opening up my blog to comments by "Anyone" temporarily, so you don't need a Blogger/Google account to chime in on this one.
This is a TEMPORARY setting! Please don't abuse it. :) Thanks!

Two for me! I just thought about you last night and thought, "You need to email a 'Nudge' to her!!" I can only re-read Refining Fire so many times!

Make the day great!

Judy Reynolds Risenmay said...

I need one and my sister will also. I am glad that I can still buy the first two books, because I borrowed my sisters. I need to read the first two again before the third comes out. So I purchased them today. You have such a compelling story, that I think of both books quite often, and am very anxious to get the thrid, so please don't delay. Thanks Judy

Candice said...

I think you'll be happy to know that I "passed the word" this week. My friend is flying to DC and needed something to read. So I had her go get the first one out of the library and take it with her. :) I'm evil. I know. Now she'll never be able to stop.

Linda Adams said...

Judy, thanks! I received your order & will ship this week.

Candice - yes, thank you! bwahahaha... quite true... my 1st publisher said he felt a little guilty releasing a drug on the world. A nice compliment...

KATIE said...

I will so buy your book. I love this series! Bummer about the publisher thing. I just found your blogsite or I would have responded faster. So please don't forget me!

Kim N said...

Doh! Thought I had already commented. Definitely one for me!

Brett Gillespie said...

one for me too please. I just now check this site for an update (I last looked in July). I'm so happy you're going to be able to work on the book more...the series is genuinely magnificent. do you have an idea of how much they'll go for, yet?

Lesta said...

Hey! Put me down for two! Please!?!

That puts us up to 35 - by word-of-mouth. Not bad so far! Keep counting!
