Did you enjoy your audio gift of chapters 1-3?

Here’s another gift...

That’s right! Your books have all shipped and are on the way!

I’ll be honest, I need you help. I haven’t done this without you, and we can’t finish strong unless we do it togehter! 

AMAZON REVIEWS ARE OPEN! Please leave a starred and written review of the book as you finish! I am shooting for 50-60 reviews on or before publication date of May 3rd. WE GOT THIS! The more reviews the better the viability for the book!

Goodreads is also open for reviews! Just copy and paste the review from Amazon; I won’t tell. Pinky swear.

I do a podcast with JF Dubeau called WriteBrain. It’s about Inkshares and crowdfunded writing and publishing. Check out this article on Examiner.com we did talking about the podcast! Also go and nominate us (url:www.jfdubeau.com/writebrain/)  for the Podcast Awards (People’s Choice and Arts categories, and nominate up to 20 other of your favorites podcasts)! Nominations close April 30, so hurry!

Speaking of JF, he’s SOOOO close to funding his 2nd book on the Inkshares platform. 

At the time of this update, the project ONLY needs 71 more pre-orders to get FULL FUNDING on Inkshares. I am super jealous, but I think it’s worth your attention and I hope you’ll agree. Check it out:

A God in the Shed by J-F Dubeau is a Fantasy/Horror story set in the forgettably small village of St-Ferdinand, in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. The villagers have been hiding a terrible secret for generations, but when their mysterious captive escapes and gets inadvertently trapped in the McKenzy’s backyard shed, it’s up to Venus and her friends to figure out how to dispose of this terrible and malevolent burden; an Old God of hate and death.

You can find out more about this dark and beautiful book, read sample chapters, reviews and pre-order your copy of A God in the Shed by visiting: www.inkshares.com/books/a-god-in-the-shed

You can listen to the prologue as read by Ageless author Paul Inman (that’s me) here: youtu.be/XJw5oZhqtXo

 Need more incentive?

•Each pre-order enters you into the ‘I want to kill a reader’ raffle. The winner will have his name and likeness used in the book as a minor character that gets killed off. The author will work with the winner to find the appropriate means of demise to satisfy both the winner and the story.

•Each physical copy of A God in the Shed will be signed and numbered as an exclusive first edition item.

•Free, exclusive A God in the Shed bookmarks will be included with the physical copies and mailed to eBook supporters.

•Orders of three or more copies guarantees your name to appear in the Patrons list printed at the end of the book.

•You get to enjoy the satisfaction and pride at having supported both art and literature.

 A God in the Shed is the first part of a trilogy that pushes the line between beauty and horror by telling a story that changes how we look at magic and the world around us. You have a chance of being part of making this book a reality and supporting a new author on his journey.

However, time is running out! The campaign ends April 22nd. Don’t miss out and order today!

Thanks everyone! We are in the home stretch!

Hello there faithful companions! 

I come bearing gifts

 (These are not my hands, in case there was any confusion)

In this modern age, it can be hard to find time to crack open your freshly downloaded ebook version of Ageless. But do not fear, because I have come to your aid and brought with me the opening three chapters in the form of an audio sample read and recorded by yours truly. Now, listen while you drive, run, walk, sit, cook, eat, cut your grass, tie your shoes, roll your eyes at the annoying neighbors, scale a mountain, scale a fish, scale a dragon ...you get the point

OVER AN HOUR OF THE BOOK READ TO YOU! (just enough to really hoooooook you in! And, according to the ebook and ABSOLUTELY no studies, that hook point is about 13% of the total book)

Just CLICK THIS LINK and download your audio excerpt of Ageless by Paul Inman (that’s me)

****Takes a break from the Ageless promoting****

Ok. Here’s the deal...

There’s a project that’s nearing its funding goal that I’d like to bring your attention to. It still needs a little over 180 pre-orders to get full funding on Inkshares. I think it’s worth your attention and I hope you’ll agree. Check it out:

I just realized...

ONE MONTH from today is the publication day for Ageless!

So I thought I would point out this review of #AgelessbyPaulInman was left on the Goodreads page a few days ago. Thought you might want to know what someone thinks...full disclosure: I don’t know this person, but I’m glad she enjoyed the book! I’ve added the link at the bottom, but read it below if you prefer.

"And the crowd goes wild! Ageless is an Inkshares production, meaning that hundreds of people voted this book into existence. And with good reason, the hook is irresistible to we ephemeral folk who shuffle off our mortal coil. (Or should I go with ’out, out brief candle,’ even Shakespeare knew mortality was a dead end.)


Aless been on the run for her whole life, living in the shadows, from the day she was liberated from an underground lab. The Nazis had her, the CIA wants her. Ageless careens from decade to decade, and characters grow old and die while Aless is forced to hide her secret from everyone. Will she ever be able to stop running?


Filled with surprises of the ’wow’ sort, there’s even a little romance. (There’s also a scene in a lab the squeamish may want to skim. Fair warning.) This crowdfunded debut book, and winner of the Sword & Laser Collection Contest, is a fresh take on a ageless theme.


I received this book in exchange for an honest review."

Goodnight. 

I forgot one thing the other day. My other project, Motor City Chronicles - Book One: Transgressions has recently gotten a GREAT book trailer. Check it out by CLICKING HERE!

Paul

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.
