Tony Valdez liked an update for The Life Engineered

 

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.

    What are the haps, Space Crew?

    I wish I had more news. If I had to choose a highlight of the week, it would be that I came up with a twist for this novel that has left me cackling uncontrollably. So that’s fun. I mean, of course I planned and plotted every detail and had an extremely polished draft already. What?

    The only thing I want to talk to you about this week is getting the expletive to 300 orders. (I’ve chosen to omit actual expletives from the newsletters  in favour of expanding our Crew.) We’re currently at 281, so it’s extremely close. But I need to push it over the edge; and when I do, I’ll be sending you the theme song!


    I’ve already asked my 300 closest friends for support, and most of them came through. Some came through with a passion rivaling your puppy who hasn’t seen you for an hour. But what I’m really saying is that I’m out of people to ask. 

    If you’re getting this newsletter, you’re (on top of being a fabulous and unique individual) in one of two categories: those who have ordered this book, and those who have hit ’follow’ to show support or interact with me in some way. 

    Space Crew, my orderers, you’re what has kept me going. I’m going to keep leaning on you between now and our deadline in September because you’ve proven yourselves to be amazing people who can do amazing things. Please, keep sharing this story. 

    Space...Standbys? I’m uncomfortable with the plural form of this word. But you guys could easily set this book over the 300 mark. You could push it over 400. I’m dying to know what it would take to get you in my official Crew. You can connect with me on Inkshares or Twitter; I’m always up for a chat!

    Your Stewing and Sinister Space Captain,
    -AC

      Tony Valdez liked an update for Sync City

      Greeting Jackolytes,

      Christmas in July! The word is I’m getting the copy-edited version of Sync City back mid-July. I’ve got to say I’m excited (and nervous) to see what comes down the pike.

      I’m also off to Canada tomorrow. Hopefully in a couple of days I’ll get to meet Christopher Huang and some of the other Montreal Inkshares crew – and, in all honesty, that’ll be awesome!

      I’m  also still feverishly banging away at Destiny Imperfect to try and get into the top three of the Inkshares/Nerdist contest. It’s amazingly tight at the top and if you could throw a pre-order my way, it’d be much appreciated.

      Have a great day!

      Cheers,

      Peter

        Guess what?!

        We have an official book cover! I’d like give a very special thanks to folks over at Inkshares and Girl Friday Productions! I couldn’t be more thrilled with how everything has progressed. 

        Head over to the Space Tripping order page to check it out!

          Tony Valdez liked an update for Monkey Business
          Thank you to all 28 of you wonderful people who have left an Amazon review. You are all, to quote the great William Shakespeare, awesome as f**k.

          So if you have a few minutes this weekend, leave a review! Be part of the super awesome 100 people who help make this little book a true American classic. Your grandchildren might be reading this book in English class. But only with your help! And only if English class really goes downhill. A boy can dream.

          If you’re wondering why reviews are so important, here’s a little bit of info: If you went to Amazon and searched "monkey business" the first week the book was published it was somewhere around 112 down the list of search results. If you do it today it’s the third result. Behind one other business book and a Marilyn Monroe movie. Marilyn Monroe! I’m told if we make it to 100 reviews even more magical things start to happen.

          I don’t know what those magical things are but I’m excited to find out!

            Tony Valdez liked an update for The Seventh Age: Dawn

            Greetings friends... today we have some excellent content for you to slice through while you await the season finale of Game of Thrones. 

            First up: My final copy edited chapter 1. While the entire book is done, I’m only putting up chapter one for you guys to read. If you want to have some literary fun and compare the old chapter 1 vs the copy and proof edited version I’ve made it easy. 

            Click HERE for the old one. 

            Click HERE for the NEW FINAL SUPER AWESOME one. 

            When you are done, feel free to leave a review. Consider it practice for when I start showing up at your houses begging you to leave other reviews on Amazon or Goodreads in November. 

            Next: We cleared the milestone mark of 1k! I did an interview with Chris Irvin (Author of Wrestletown) for his blog HERE. Finally, Publishers Weekly has listed The Seventh Age (Gotta scroll down a bit, but I made the list!)

            I’m waiting on some final artwork before I begin the raffles, so I’ve decided to leave it open. Anyone who preorders a copy of The Seventh Age before I get my final demon hunter kit ready for raffle and the art needed will be eligible. (Thinking early July).
