Hey, all you beautiful, sexy people! I’ve got 2 pieces of news for ya.
First off, there’s a new chapter of SideScroller up and ready for your reading pleasure. Now, this one jumps ahead a bit, so if you’re concerned about spoilers, read at your own risk! I selected this particular chapter because it’s a strong emotional moment in the book that really drives home the video game theme.
Second, Inkshares and Nerdist just announced their newest publishing contest, and the theme is: VIDEO GAMES. SideScroller happens to be about...video games. This is what Webster’s Dictionary defines as a "koinky-dink".
The contest starts June 1st, so I’ll be blazing down the campaign trail when it happens, hoping to push SideScroller to the forefront and seize the day. So get ready for a whole lot more pimping out from yours truly. Tell your family, tell your friends, even tell your enemies (assuming your enemies are avid readers), tell Oprah, tell everybody...there’s a whole lot more SideScroller up in here.
The madness begins June 1st. See you there. And thanks again for all of your support!
Cheers,
Andrew Fantasia
Today is May 29th, and you know what that means! It means...that it’s probably somebody’s birthday, somewhere. Happy birthday, person I don’t know!
But it ALSO means that we’re only two days away from the Inkshares/Nerdist video game contest beginning. And I’ve got some cool news. See that boring grey area where my book’s cover ought to be? It ain’t gonna be boring or grey for much longer. I’ve got a kick-ass cover coming soon that ought to jazz the place up a bit. Now all I need are a few throw pillows and maybe a large oil painting of myself riding a bull.
SideScroller may have been written by me, but I never would have gotten this far on Inkshares without help. So let me give a shout-out to Tabi Card and James Rasile, who’ve both been invaluable to me thus far. Without them, I’d still be limping my way through the "Make An Inkshares Profile" page. Do yourself a favour and check out their books, "Scribbles" and "Cape’s Side Bay", respectively.
The contest begins in T-minus two days. Let’s rock this.
