9 out of 10 hypothetical doctors say that leaving a review on Amazon makes you super cool. The last doctor is your dentist who keeps trying to give you adult braces. Don’t listen to her. Leave a review!

NEWS
An Unattractive Vampire was this months featured book pick of the Paranormal Shopping Network. I also did an interview with them on Twitter which I compiled into a handy little post here. Also, I will be a spotlighted author on the 125 Pages blog in September.

 Dragon Con is accepting nominations for their new awards and there is a push to get Inkshares authors into the mix. So head over and nominate An Unattractive Vampire in either the Fantasy (Paranormal) category or...Asteroid Made of Dragons in Fantasy and An Unattractive Vampire in Horror. Either way, be sure to nominate The Life Engineered in Science Fiction.

As for events:
Tonight

 Our Fair City is having a fundraiser at Headquarters in Chicago (2833 N. Sheffield) Come out, say hi, and support your favorite dystopian mad science audio drama featuring a wall of meat.

Saturday


Our Fair City (including me) will be doing a podcasting panel at the Columbia Geek Culture Gala at 2 PM. I will have postcards to hand out and fruit will be SMASHED!

Next Week:
I will be returning triumphantly(?) to my old Quad City stomping grounds to sign books for backers at Barley and Rye in Moline, IL. There will also be copies available for those who make a donation to Children’s Therapy Center. 

OTHER NEWS:

Big congrats to fellow Sword and Laserer J-F Dubea for hitting tha magic 750 preorder number for his second Inkshares book.

Remember: there are still lots of worthy books out there looking for love in all the right places (Inkshares). For example Lucky by RH Webster and the contestants for the Live Free or Die...Hard Science competition.

So that’s all for now.

Go forth and leave Amazon Reviews.
(I must be this guy...because I keep Harping on that.)

    Hey guys,

    Sorry its been so long since I posted. Chris and I finished our rewrite of the manuscript about 3 weeks ago and I was double timing it on finding a new UI/UX contract. Don’t even get me started with that...

    I’m finding myself feeling bizarrely empty since then... Not working on the manuscript everyday has left me with this strange sense of purposelessness. I’ve been reading over what we have on the 2nd books manuscript and already see where i’d begin to make adjustments based on our first book but i’m hesitant to do anything on it until we get some Fan feedback on the first one. Stay tuned for more updates!

      Hello friend!

      It’s with dark joy in my heart and the lingering effects of celebratory scotch that I come to you this day.

      First, I have an announcement! The winner of the ’I Want to Kill You’ raffle has been decided. He’s accepting the ’honour’ of having his likeness murdered in A God in the Shed and while I can reveal his identity, we have yet to discuss the manner of his demise. Congratulations to Brad Ludwig! I can’t think of a better dude to murder... in a book. Fiction. I’m not really killing Brad.

      In more serious business, I want to ask for your help again. Don’t worry, your wallet and credits are safe this time, however...


      DragonCon is starting its own awards. I won’t bury the lead; I want to see my first book; The Life Engineered nominated. I mean, I’ll be happy if any Inkshares book gets a nomination but obviously I’d be deliriously happy if The Life Engineered got a nod in there. So this will fusion reaction powering my communications with you for the next little while: Let’s get Inkshares a Dragon Award. Have a look at the nomination page and please consider putting in The Life Engineered for the Science Fiction category. While you’re there, here are some suggestions for other categories if you feel like supporting the Inkshares platform:  

      • Fantasy: Asteroid Made of Dragons 
      • Horror: An Unattractive Vampire 
      Click here for the nomination page.

      Last but not last, I have yet another favour to ask, but this time it’s for my friend A.C. Baldwin. She’s is nearing the end of her funding campaign and she is so very close to her goal of 250 pre-orders. I know I’ve been asking a lot from you guys lately, but if you have a few credits rolling around or you’re just curious about her book, check out A.C. Baldwin’s The Traveller’s Cup. It’s a great book and A.C. is a tremendously promising author and a tireless artist. She deservers this.

      Thanks friends. Inkshares has already sent me documents to fill out so we can prepare the first production meeting for A God in the Shed. The wheels start rolling. The book is being made.

        Dear Friends today is my birthday!!

         I have many reasons to celebrate and one of the main ones is that my dream of becoming a published author will become true on November 8th, and that is thanks to all of you.  

        Because it is my birthday, I want to ask you for a small present. Don’t worry it won’t cost you a penny. I want you to please log into your Inkshares account and follow the project for my second novel Worlds Walker.

        Here is the link

        Worlds Walker is the second book in The Catcher’s Trap trilogy, which I’m currently writing. My vision for this second book is exploring the darkest side of human nature. The first book was all about the evil magical creatures from The Mist and the horrors that human slaves had to endure. I want the second book to speak about our own capacity for cruelty and the idea that humans are not only victims or heroes, we are also aggressors.

        I will continue working on this draft while uploading chapters and sharing content with you.

        My plan is to launch the actual campaign on April 20th, 2017. Yup, you heard right. A year from today, on my birthday, I will be reaching out to all of you for support, so World Walker can become a reality.

        Thanks again and have a drink on my behalf!
