A.C. Weston liked an update for Dax Harrison

Good morning, Dax fans!

DAX COUNTDOWN: 5 days, 15 orders to go!

In my foolish, sleep-deprived state, I previously forgot to mention a few thank yous in my last update...

Dax received a plethora of amazing reviews during Saturday's Review-A-Thon event. Yes, a plethora, which gave me a big lump in my throat, made me a little weepy eyed, and generally left me about as happy as El Guapo on his birthday...

You know, before the Three Amigos crashed the party.

Thank you to Vincent Lim, Amanda Orneck, Andrew Wood, Jamison Stone, G. Derek Adams, Jason Pomerance, Shannon Saldin, Paul Inman, Landon Crutcher, Thomas J. Arnold, Alan Tucker, Steve Soldwedel, Jim McDoniel, and Chris Robinson.

I've tagged each of their names with links directly to their respective projects, because they deserve your support too! To post all of their kind words about Dax here would be far too self-serving. But I at least have to share G. Derek Adams's epic review, as it is a bit of a hilarious work of art unto itself:

G. DEREK ADAMS
"Comedy is harder than drama. Drama is open to interpretation, discussion, analysis -- everyone knows funny. And you can't force funny via interpretation, discussion, analysis. It is either funny or not funny. The Grand Binary. Dax Harrison is funny. Tony Valdez is funny. I love the setting and the crazy-ass Buck Rogers pastiche, I am 100% on board with the aesthetic and the plot arc I see developing in the first excerpts. Interrogating heroism, public perception, duty - I am HERE for all these grand concepts explicated through a patently silly premise. But what's really exciting me is that this book is funny. The punch lines land, the asides are light and bouncy, it never stops and alerts me that 'THIS IS A JOKE'. This is a rare thing. A precious thing. A shiny, shiny unicorn who wants to take you to McDonalds and talk about Macross continuity. Recognize it and treasure it. Sidebar - if you can watch Tony's video and not make a pre-order then you are a mean person who can't feel joy and puppies hate you."

Sci-fi & Fantasy author Amanda Orneck also posted a lovely review of Dax on her author blog, Immersive Cursive. READ IT HERE!

And last but not least, another big thanks to Amanda and Inkshares team member Avalon Radys for organizing a guest post for me on the official Inkshares blog! READ IT HERE!

Stay tuned, gang. We're in The Final Days of Dax, and we're going out with a BANG!

-Tony

    Everyone!!

    The Review-a-Thon happened and it was AMAZING! Call me foolish, but I didn't really understand how much the positive reviews for my book were going to mean to me, personally, as an author. There was a lot of goodwill flowing around the world of Inkshares this weekend, and I LOVED IT!

    Byron Gillan, Renee Horsman, Alan Tucker, Jamison Stone, Craig Munro, Thomas J. Arnold (seriously, man, I cried), Rochelle Germano, and A.R. Patterson - thank you so much for your kind words about She Is the End!


    Here's the link to the livestream, which is saved on youtube for all posterity:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pSOpnFYGMM&feature=youtu.be

    Chrome crashed on me about 60 seconds into the live broadcast, which was exactly what my stress level needed at that moment, hahahahaha *internal screaming*. But the rest was great! Go watch it!

    Sincerest thanks must go out to the following amazing people, without whom the entire event would have been lonely and boring for me, sitting there all by myself:

    For kick-ass hosting abilities:
    JF Dubeau
    Paul Inman

    For giving awesome interviews:
    Gary Whitta
    Rick Heinz
    Jeyna Grace
    Jim McDoniel

    For being helpful, interesting, creative, supportive, and brilliant:
    John Robin
    Joe Terzieva
    Amanda Orneck
    Christine Brenneke
    Tony Valdez

    And for pretty much everything:
    Jeremy Thomas, Adam Gomolin, and Matt Kaye at Inkshares

    I'm not really seeing things with much perspective right now, because for me this was a huge amount of work with fabulous results... so I'm kinda just reeling. It was just one day, but man. A supportive writing community is a glorious thing to be a part of.

    Thank you, really, everyone who participated.

    I have already been scolded extensively for not jumping at the chance to talk up my book during the livestream. I was in producer mode, guys! Give me a break!

    I need to get better about that. So, in that spirit, I'll say: pre-order my book!

    Relai's not going down without a fight! Milo is a big muscly marshmallow! Tannor doesn't take any crap! Goren doesn't know what's going on but he's probably gonna shoot somebody at some point! And Ky's just along for the ride, no secret angst here, hahahaaaa!

    Pre-order it!

    And thanks. Really. Thank you, everyone.
