Good afternoon, my Knightmares!

I hope you all had a very happy, fun, and safe 4th of July weekend! I also hope your pets made it through all the fireworks without losing their furry little minds!

As of this morning we hit 166 pre-orders! Thank you all, and thank you for the growing support and for those who have gone out of your way to push and sell my book to others. I appreciate it more than you know. 

(wow...that inserted much larger than expected, but hey, that’s how awesome I think you all are)

We have 84 more pre-orders to go before we hit our first publishing goal! I know we can do it. For all of you who are new to inkshares, I will NOT be published at all unless I hit 250. So please, spread the word and keep growing this fanbase. 

At 180, I will release the second part of my two-part mini-story you can find here. Everyone who orders between 150 and 180 will be placed into a raffle to be a character in a future story/book. That means there are only 14 spots left! 

If you buy a book, and refer 2 other people to buy my book, you will receive a FREE t-shirt! Are you curious about what that t-shirt looks like? Check it out!

Here’s the front.

Here’s the back.

More announcements coming soon!! Including new cover art and an interview or two that should be posted this week!

Here are a few other inkshares projects you should check out:

I Am Waltz by Matthew D. Dho - Waltz didn’t remember. The fugitive machine felt the Hunters closing in and 16-year-old Kyle was his only chance for freedom.

Destiny Imperfect by Peter Ryan - When the lines between virtual reality and real life blur, who’s the player and who’s the played? Beware the singularity.

And the Wolf Shall Dwell by Joni Dee - London. Just a routine day? A death in a train station thrusts John to a world of espionage, politics and Jihadi terrorism.

Good morning, backers!

I hope everyone had a great holiday week, and if you’re not American, I just hope you had  a great weekend in general. For those of you that backed Welcome to Deadland during the campaign, I have some exciting news to help you get through the rest of the week.

The eBook files will be available to download in PDF, mobi, and ePub formats on Friday, July 8th! If you have an eReader you’ll be able to start reading Welcome to Deadland a month and a day before the official release!

It’s been a long road, and I thank everyone for their patience, but there’s only a few more days to go!

And just as a reminder, make sure you have your current shipping address listed so your physical copies can be mailed out!

Thank you all,

Zac

Hello everyone!!

Can you believe that there are only 11 days left in the Nerdist contest?! I definitely can’t. Well, I am currently sitting in 2nd place and so if you could tell your friends, family, whoever to pre-order a copy that would be awesome! Also, if you haven’t pre-ordered a copy but have been following my project now would be a great time to do so! For those who do pre-order a copy, you will be receiving a FREE short story (yes free!). We are 18 pre-orders away from unlocking the 6th piece of the painting as well :)

As a hardcore gamer girl, winning this contest would mean everything to me and I hope you believe in this project as much as I do. Yes yes, I’m still pursuing my microbiology PhD, but my passion for writing has always been there and I’m more determined than ever to get my first novel published. 

Anyways, Happy 4th, stay safe, enjoy the festivities, and don’t forget about your pets!! ^_^

Best,

Alisa-chan アリサちゃん

Good Morning All and Happy 4th July to all of my ’merican friends...

Happy early 4th of July to all of my fellow Americans and non-Americans, I hope you have a great day too!

Quick update - You may be interested in following a new idea that I have placed here on Inkshares. Here’s the extremely short pitch:

Follow the life of Eugene Trickens, a survivor of WWII genetic experimentation with a secret, in this indirect sequel to AGELESS.

That’s right, I am in the planning stages for TIMELESS, a sequel to AGELESS! The plan (currently very, very rough) is you will see a lot of characters again in some capacity and dive deeper into some of the mysteries of the first book! I want to stress, this is not a direct sequel and we won’t pick up where the last book left us but don’t worry...possibly someday...whoops, I’ve said too much!

Also, we are less than two weeks from the end of the Nerdist Video Game Contest, and it’s time to jump in feet first and support TOO MANY CONTROLLERS! For those that have, I say thank you! If you haven’t, (and I’m looking at YOU James M. and a few others too) NOW is the time. We still need you! I still need you.

Lastly, if you have some time to listen, I had to pleasure of sitting down with Elan Samuel of The Warbler Books for a great interview (there are heavy AGELESS spoilers)!

And we can’t forget THE ROAD TO 100 REVIEWS on Amazon! Please leave a review if you can! 

Have a safe, happy holiday and thanks for everything!

Dear friends

I’m writing to you from beautiful but, currently, cold Chile. Unfortunately, I had to travel here responding to an unexpected family emergency, but even when dealing with difficult times, visiting my country and my family is a blessing.

We are four months away from the release of The Catcher’s Trap and Inkshares has officially started the marketing efforts to promote the book. The Catcher has been pitched to media outlets, a couple of interviews have been scheduled, and the release party is being planned. All exciting news. Even more exciting, the fact that this is only the beginning.

As for the first official The Catcher’s Trap event, if you are in the mood for meeting a hard-working new author, come and meet me at the CT HorrorFest on August 27th, at The Matrix Conference Center in Danbury, CT. I will be there sharing advance copies of the book and paving the road for an epic release on November 8th.

More info here.

Finally, don’t forget I’m participating in the current Nerdist Contest as part of an amazing anthology with 14 other, talented and creative authors. Check out our project and get your copy of this collection of short stories.

Too Many Controllers

Have a fantastic weekend.

Dear friends and followers,

Two days ago, we celebrated Canada; tomorrow, we celebrate the U.S.; and yesterday, we hit 375 orders, the exact halfway mark to the full-funding goal. It is perhaps of somewhat less national significance than the other two, but it is certainly of great significance to me. So I thank each and every one of you who have contributed so far. Thank you for bringing me as far as you have.

And we have news. As hinted in the previous update, we have an Interactive Fiction game to go with our novel: "Mustard, Music, and Murder", in which you may step into the shoes of Eric Peterkin to solve the murder of an elderly investment broker....

It is also July, which, quite aside from holidays of national importance, means it’s time to hand in a cheque to our friends at Chez Doris. I was unable to do so on the 1st, as the offices were closed for Canada Day, but I will be handing this over tomorrow morning:

My ongoing introduction of the various characters in "Murder at the Veterans’ Club" seems almost like an afterthought, now. Nevertheless, here is Jacob Bradshaw, the club secretary.

And that’s enough news for the moment, I think! Until next week, have fun, and keep reading!
