A.C. Weston liked an update for Winter's Law

So, I jumped into this only yesterday, and it seems like I have a ton to learn about crowdfunding - which is absolutely true. I'm not what you would call a natural salesman, or an expert marketer. I'm still learning that side of the fence, and it wouldn't be a lie to say that I still cringe when I send out updates, or teasers, in an effort to attract readers. It feels icky when I try to sell myself.

What I am, though, is an author. After a selection of short story publications, and the release of my own post-apocalyptic series, Ash & Flame, I know that I can write. I can create compelling characters, interesting worlds, and stories that stick with people. That's who I am, and what I want to do: I want to create fiction that entertains and captivates.

I want to thank you for taking a look, and for maybe taking a chance on me. That's all I can ask for. Give me that chance. 

The rest is on me.

    Hello, lovely people! Guess what?

    My campaign ends in 9 days!

    I haven't done a giveaway or contest in quite a while, so there's no better time than NOW. I'd like to finish strong by reaching 400 pre-orders by the end of my campaign. That's 30 more orders... I think I can do it!

    So: the next 15 people who pre-order She Is the End (even if you've already ordered it once) will receive a postcard print of my Ladies of Sci-Fi drawing:



    But that's not all!

    On the back you'll find a thank-you from me, along with a secret.

    A secret?

    Yeah! A secret! 

    It won't be a plot spoiler; it will be a bit of interesting information that isn't revealed in She Is the End, but is still significant.

    SO! Order now if you want in on the art with a secret!

    In other news:

    • Congratulations Tony Valdez!! Dax Harrison sauntered on into Quill just before the end of his campaign and he's now in production!

    • I WILL BE A CHARACTER IN DEUS HEX MACHINA! I get a cameo in the book because I ordered a copy during the Review-a-Thon and I'm super excited to go all cyberpunk. Order this book!

    • I got to hear the first chapter of Lost Generation by Joe Terzieva, and it's amazing. The experience was like the first time I read The Maltese Falcon (when I actually stood up in the middle of Barnes and Noble and started reading out loud because the prose was so strong) crossed with the first time I saw Children of Men. This book is going to be so good. Anyone and everyone should order it immediately.

    Happy Almost New Year!!!

      A.C. Weston liked an update for Deus Hex Machina

      Happy Monday Hexers!

      I have lots of news, so I'll get right to it:

      First of all, my new book trailer for Deus Hex Machina is up on the funding page, so make sure you check it out.  To go along with it I have officially launched DeusHexMachina.com, which was created by my talented husband.

      Thirdly, I am incredibly excited to tell you I got the chance to interview inventor and technology guru Timble Ada. He's one of the fathers of something called "perceptual computing," which seems like it might someday lead to something like the Grid in DHM. Click on over to my blog to check it out! 

      We're very close to our next giveaway mark -- 60 orders, so if you know anyone who would enjoy a rolicking cyberpunk adventure, be sure to send them our way!

      Have a wonderful Monday and a great week!

        A.C. Weston liked an update for Blood Dawn

        Blood Dawn is DONE!

        Despite that 4 months of intensive revision lay ahead before I submit to Inkshares, reaching those words, "THE END" (as you'll see if you visit my Instagram here) felt like one of the most significant milestones in what has been 67 weeks of steady commitment to producing a solid draft.

        I'm feeling immense accomplishment today!  By finishing Blood Dawn, I have finally translated the entirety of this story from my mind to actual words that other people can read -- and it holds together well and tells a riveting tale.  And by using the editorial coaching program, Author Accelerator, I've been able to absolutely nail my first draft, knowing that the amount of revision required will be completely doable in the four month time frame I've allotted myself. (Check out my timeline if you're curious how that process looks.)

        I'm excited now to update my Blood Dawn page to read, "The draft is complete." I'm excited to share this book with readers telling them not only that this book will be published but that the draft is done and it all worked out and I'm now busy making it shine.

        If you haven't purchased your copy of Blood Dawn yet, now is the perfect time to do so.

        Click here to visit Blood Dawn's page on Inkshares.

        Thank you so much for your support!
