Paul Inman's latest update for Ageless

Feb 21, 2016

Well, hello there...

I see we have some new faces that have followed and some new purchasers as well.  Thanks for that! Time for some updates (fair warning: it’s been a while so there will be a lot).

First, it is with mixed emotions that I tell you the final draft has my approved and it is with the production team and will be moving to the printing phase very soon. The people at Inkshares and Gril Friday have worked tirelessly to make sure that Ageless is the best book that it can be. 

That’s it. The words are locked in. 

Forever. 

AND EVER... 

It’s frightening, terrifying, in fact...only because it makes this whole thing that much closer to a reality. Yet, I am still full of excitement and drive to make Ageless into the best experience for both you, the reader, and me. The final thing left to approve is the ebook version of the book.

Which means we have also finalized the complete cover for the book and it is gorgeous. Check it out.


Wait...what are those words in the corner?


Yes, what you see is really there. It isn’t a figment of your imagination. We have a cover blurb! For those of you that can’t quite see it, here it is in its full glory:


"An elaborate story that challenges our inner detective. The intricate plot is a fascinating puzzle to navigate and enjoy." - J-F Dubeau, author of The Life Engineered and winner of the Sword & Laser Collection Contest

How cool is that? Awesome right!?!? (Click here for my review of his book, The Life Engineered.)


We are gearing up for the promotional/marketing push for the book as well. Hopefully we will be soon locating a great local venue to have an awesome launch party/signing, if you’re into that sort of thing.

For those of you that don’t remember the books publication date is slated for May 3, 2016. But the good news is that the backers will be getting it a bit before that (barring some unfortunate catastrophe). Why is that important, you may be asking yourself... Well, it’s important because that gives us plenty of time to jump start the reviews! In this crowded world of publishing reviews can make or break your book. I will be at your mercy one last time, in desperate need your help. In order for this book to dig its roots in and take hold we must a have a lot of great reviews. What’s a lot? Let’s shoot for a 3 digit number like 100 positive reviews. So that means, about 10% of the people who will be getting a copy. That seems totally doable.

Please, please, please don’t feel obligated to review (especially if you end up less than loving it; email me and tell me how to do better if you feel so inclined). I cannot thank you enough for all you have done to make this a reality. 

I’ll leave you with the following (slightly edited) infograph about the importance of reviews borrowed from my fellow Inkshares author, G. Derek Adams, author of Asteroid Made of Dragons.
