This is it, guys...

9 DAYS LEFT IN MY CAMPAIGN!

I know I said I’d make a video update, but that kind of fell through at the last minute, so here I am pleading that you help me make one last big PUSH for the Quill finish line!

Rest assured, if we don’t make Quill, I will be looking into some other publishing options, but I REALLY REALLY want to be an Inkshares Quill author! The Inkshares community has been so good to me, I’ve made lots of great friends and have reached a kind of solidarity in the thought that I’m not alone in this crazy endeavor...this dream of being a novelist. 

I will see how things go in the next couple of days and if I see light at the end of the tunnel, I will ask for one final extension. So, PLEASE, help me get there! 

Thank you!

Jason

    EBOOKS ARE COMING!

    Hi everyone!  Guess what?  We just reviewed the ebook files (both kindle and epub), and they’re looking pretty sweet.  What does this mean?  An early weekend present for all my backers - the ebook should be downloadable by this Friday, so if you’d like to dive into the story over the holiday weekend, you can!  Huzzah!

    To access the ebook, you must return to www.inkshares.com, log in, and when you click on your profile picture (top right hand corner), select "Bookshelf."  From there you’ll be able to download the book to your computer (or other device).  Then transfer the file into whatever folder holds your ebooks, and boom, you’re good to go!

    In other news, the physical books are in as well, and should be shipping out some time in the next week or so.  So if you’d rather have the feel of paper between your fingers, it’s not that much longer of a wait.

    For those of you who live in the Maine area, look for a backer thank you party soonish, as well as possible events at Bull Moose stores.  I’ll be sure to let you know!

    One last thing - in a few weeks I’m going to be leaning on you all to do me one more favor: post reviews on Amazon (and Goodreads, if you’ve got an account).  Amazon’s algorithms  take into account, among other things, the number of reviews a book has when it is deciding what to include in email newsletters, as well as "you may also like..." links.  They don’t have to be long, they don’t have to be good (though remember what your mother said about not having anything nice to say), they just have to be.  So look for that harassment in the coming weeks, as soon as the book officially goes live over there.

    Thanks again for your support!  I’m so excited to deliver the book to you that you blindly ordered almost a year ago.  Super cool.

    Cheers
    Dave

      Hello Everyone!

      I’ve just received 100 decals (stickers) of Hendrix the Octopus and am going to send one to each NEW person who pre-orders SQUIDS IN. You can see an example of the decal on my guitar below (if you can find it. It’s a bit like a Where’s Wally situation I know).


      At the end of the campaign, if I have any decals left, I will share them among everyone else who has been a supporter of this project. Sorry if any longtime supporters are disappointed at potentially not being eligible to win one of these frankly awesome stickers. Send me a message and I will see what I can do for you.

      Hope you’re having a great Tuesday!

        Tony Valdez liked an update for Welcome to Deadland

        Hey guys!

        Keeping it short today! Welcome to Deadland was sent to the printer nearly a month ago, meaning it won’t be too much longer until copies are shipping out all over the world! I know some readers, and myself included, have moved since the campaign began last year, so I wanted to remind everyone to check their address listed on their Inkshares profile and make sure you have your current address so you’ll receive your copy!

        The wait is nearly over!

          And here we have what (may) wind up being the final cover for The Children of the Forest. There are two other pieces en route, but I’m especially in love with this one.

            Tony Valdez liked an update for A God in the Shed

            Oh, hi.

            I know it’s been a while and I’m sorry. It’s just been very busy. So very, very busy. Turns out that manuscript that was ready to go for A God in the Shed? I’ve been increasing its level of readiness for the past month and a half. The good news is the end result is going to be that much better. The other good news is that it’s not going to noticeably slow down production. There’s no bad news. Not for you guys. Also, I feel fine now that I’ve forgotten what sleep feels like.

            So what’s the point of this update? Bullet time!
            • A God in the Shed is going to be in Inkshares and Girl Friday’s hands by the end of the week. This I vow.
            • The Life Engineered is 4 reviews away from 100 on Amazon. Have you read The Life Engineered? Liked it? Be one of the final four people to push it over 100 reviews. Rumour has it I get a unicorn when that happens. Amazon is vague about the benefits.
            • Most important, crucial to my survival and well being, please go check out Too Many Controllers. I’m supposed to be promoting this incredible project. The other amazing writers participating in the anthology are hustling like machines to get attention to this book. Meanwhile I’m not pulling my own weight. See above about not having time for anything. So give me a hand in not looking like the dead weight of the group and maybe pre-order a copy. It’s going to be a great book. Also, if I don’t do my part I’ll get murdered. I think I signed a thing that says that.
             Is that it? Oh yeah! Go follow Arch-Android. I’m going to be making some sweet announcements for that project in the coming weeks and you don’t want to miss out.

            Now I’m done.

            Back to work. Thank you for your support and patience.

            JF out.
