Summary: As we record and broadcast this, Fiction Unboxed continues to roll along. The rewards keep stacking up and we've set an AAAAAMAZING stretch goal involving opening up a shared story world for all of us to write in. Be sure to check it out and spread the world so that we can hit that goal! The more the project funds, the more EVERY BACKER WINS. After a bunch of odds and ends, we got into the meat of the show by adding in Darren Wearmouth to our blokish mix. It was odd, because Darren is a fan of the show… and we're simultaneously fans of the stupendous feat Darren managed with his first and (currently) only novel, First Activation. Darren had one book -- his first -- and hit Amazon's Top 100 with it at launch through a very cool strategy of pricing low, advertising heavily, and trying to hit critical mass. And it totally worked. This is a great strategic show and gave us things to think about for our own future launches. Darren also promises to touch base after his next indie launch and let us know if it works a second time.
