Rick Heinz liked an update for I Think You Dropped This

It's time for me to cram yet another update into your already too full inboxes.

The sad truth is that I am far from the top 5.  The happy truth is that I'm much further along than I had expected!  This contest has done one major thing for me and that was to push me to get my book out there.  It's a great feeling that some people think that this thing that I've worked on for so long is not only worth their time but also enjoyable.  Also it's a great feeling to know that some people are very polite and preordered out of their good nature.  Another great feeling is the one that people I know get when they preorder and I shut up and leave them alone.  
I offer my sincere congratulations to all that have made it into the top 5.  Your talents and exhaustive efforts are being rewarded and even though you can't hear it I applaud you.  I especially want to congratulate and thank Rick and Dave.  Who were supportive of me very early on and really helped with my book gaining momentum. If you haven't preordered their books yet feel encouraged to check them out here:

and

For five in the contest this is the end, for the rest this is only the middle.

I won't drag this out longer than it needs to be so I'll leave you with Congratulations to the Top 5's!  

and preorder my book:  http://t.co/lKEuSDmp0R   

Cheers!

    Rick Heinz sent an update for The Seventh Age: Dawn

    "What is this madness? An update on a Tuesday?"

    Yes, yes, I know. But it's the final update in regards of the contest! So, here is the deal. After this contest, my work is not done. I still have to polish everything up, work with Inkshares, and do copy editing. Also: I have to do other things... like... get a website.... annnnd a blog... but the best part: Hitting conventions along with an avid amount of gaming and storytelling. The Seventh Age is mere hours away from actually living. 

    Don't worry. I'll keep everyone posted. For everyone who is still following. Last chance to have your vote matter for the contest!

    Speaking of having your vote matter. There is a book from a new awesome friend of mine that I've plugged before, both on facebook, and in an update. I'm sure if you read this and log into inkshares.. your time could very well be spent picking up this book. 

    Runes of the Apprentice. Which can be ordered: Here

    I mean. LOOK AT THIS TOTAL GEEK!!!! (He's totally gonna break me for this...)

    He's got a katana, make up, and glowy lighty things. With maps! If you remember last update I did featuring Runes. I highlighted fantasy maps. I have a thing for them. This is some geek pride.

    So here is the story, Runes is near the top 10 and trying to crack into that before the contest ends. If you really enjoy some epic fantasy, or want to help out this fine gentleman who spent all weekend at a convention.... go check out his work.  For those of you who don't want to scroll up. Here is the link again: Right Here

    Particularly Bella Kraft. Who has been flooding my facebook feed with other authors she's been backing. Jason Peercy, you need to convince him to come play in your game. Ellen, his style should fit you well. I've noticed more than a few of my friends getting addicted to checking out new authors. So, go his way and read a chapter.

    As for me, it's the final day of the contest. I really just want to say thank you for everyone's support so far. I will do you proud and deliver unto you one hell of a urban fantasy book. 

    Let's cross our fingers and hope our hardwork and luck holds! Thank you everyone so much! I'm going to go out and see if I can't knock on a few more doors myself!

      Rick Heinz liked an update for She Is the End

      Hey, nerds! Look I did an interview about the coloring book for the Inkshares blog looook!

      I had a bunch of new ideas for collaborative projects while I was writing it, so... be prepared for more cool stuff to come along...

      In other news, I decided Tuesday should be Museday. I'll highlight things that inspire my writing! Get it? 

      First up: music! I'll be creating and sending out youtube mixes filled with songs to help you get to know my characters - twelve songs per character for the twelve episodes in my book. (I would also love to listen to any mixes you all have for your characters or books!)

      Here's your Museday Mix: RELAI EDITION featuring...

      Wake Me Up - Birdy
      Get Home - Bastille
      Blow - Ke$ha
      Elastic Heart - Sia
      I'm a Mess - Ed Sheeran
      Titanium - David Guetta ft. Sia
      Hopeless Opus - Imagine Dragons
      Empire - Shakira
      Gold - Imagine Dragons
      Fly - Nicki Minaj ft. Rihanna
      Yellow Flicker Beat - Lorde
      Shake It Off - Florence and the Machine


      And here are some fantastic recommendations for your consideration:

      A Soul to Steal by Anthony Russo:
      Its 1948 and private eye C.A. Cavanaugh handles cases regarding magic and all that it implies. Haunted by his partner’s death, he’s ready to leave Hollywood until Winnie, his partner’s daughter, shows up to claim fifty percent of the business. (This one looks really good - a fun blend of hard-boiled and magical.)

      Forty Days by J. Durbin:
      Dr. Nerana Jackson awakens to find herself stranded on a ghost ship, drifting in orbit near an alien star. Now, she must piece together what happened to the crew and why before time runs out - or she may join them.
      (Main-character-wakes-up-in-a-travel-pod buddies! I would read books like this every day of my life. Classic and awesome.)
