Hello everyone, I hope you had a great long weekend! I just wanted to send a quick update letting you know that the pre-order launch will begin at the end of the week, so please keep an eye out for that! I have been tightening up the manuscript as of late and have been receiving some excellent feedback. I’m excited for the future of Cape’s Side Bay! 

Also wanted to let you all know that I will be posting a section of the chapter FRIDAY EVENING very soon!

You can always check out Cape’s Side Bay on Facebook & follow me on Twitter.

Happy Tuesday!

James

Happy Monday Readers and Followers!

I am in the process of streamlining the early chapters of the book to be more concise and action-oriented so I can try and snag readers early on into the adventure ahead! This is one of the great thing about Inkshares, you can share these early drafts and based on the feedback you get from your beta readers and followers you can fine tune it into a force to be recokoned with! It’s like one big collaboration!

We are at the 40 day mark and only at 76 pre-orders!  We can still make it to Quill, but I need your help! So, if you haven’t pre-ordered yet, pick up your copy now! 

Also, if you’ve got a hard science fiction story to tell, Inkshares has teamed up with Geek & Sundry for the latest contest! You can check that out here. 

Finally, I have a nice, short and sweet video up on the project page made with Adobe Voice! It’s a cool little app, so if you’re not skilled at making book trailers or don’t want to sit in front of a camera awkwardly rambling about your project, Adobe Voice makes the process a lot easier, makes a slick looking video and you can share it anywhere! (no, Adobe is not sponsoring me or anything...I wish)

As always, feel free to reach out to me directly. Those who asked for cover art magnets, worry not, they are on the way!

Thanks for the support!

p.s. The June 4 deadline will come sooner than you think - so if you are serious about this, we suggest you get cracking on those entries!

A little update for everyone: As some of you know I am a Teacher and we have EOC testing this week. I have been pretty busy to say the least. However, my research and development is almost to an end as I round out the last details of Orin and the Skyscrapers! I’m extremely excited about this book and I hope you are too! 

Keep an eye out for the live action trailer due to start filming in May! Please keep spreading the word and we will get this adventure published! Thank you all for your patience and support!

Friends, it is Easter in the Western Church, and I hope everyone is having an excellent day. The weather up here is lovely, and it definitely looks like Spring out there.

It is also one week since we opened up for pre-orders! Some of you have already stepped up with your support, and I am grateful for it. I do confess to moments--no, hours--of crippling self-doubt. And some of you may already be aware of this, but I’m promising to donate $1 for each pre-order beyond the first 250 to a local women’s shelter. I have plans to add other charities at the 450 and 600 levels, but it may be a little early to think of that right now.

Now, let’s talk about some of the other books out there.

First off: Sync City, by Peter Ryan. This story has a really excellent narrative voice: Ryan’s hero is earthy, a little salty, and self-assured enough to make his toughness believable. That voice is going to grab you and take you for a ride, believe me.

A couple of hidden gems: Vendetta in Valletta, by MT-B, and Samba: Princess of Thieves, by Kevin Smith. Please take a look at them. They’ve somehow managed to slip under everybody’s radar, and I’d like to correct that.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: The Amaranth Chronicles, by Alexander Barnes and Christopher Preiman. I do not understand why this hasn’t already hit the 750 mark: to my mind, it’s got sci-fi geek bestseller written all over it.

Of course, there’ The Traveller’s Cup, by A.C. Baldwin. Enough has been said about the space dragons (maybe too much has been said) but, as Alex Barnes notes in his review, the interesting thing about the story is the fact we have an aristocratic hero being forced to work in isolation with the underclass ... never mind the worldbuilding; I suspect we may have some very interesting social commentary on the side.

And I’d still like to see A God in the Shed, by JF Dubeau, reach its 750 pre-order full funding. Seriously, I think this will be better than Dubeau’s first book.

That’s the news for now. I’m still looking at books here, so this catalogue is far from complete. Until next week, dear friends.

Hey Everyone! 

Just a quick note that I’ve loaded a new sample chapter of PIPERVERSE, Chapter 5 - Beach Party On The Moon   (In it, my little "space opera" finally gets to space!) As always, comments welcome (preorders too...hint, hint.)

Good luck to everybody who’s thinking about entering the upcoming Inkshares/Geek And Sundry Writer’s Contest! (I think they announce the theme tomorrow.)

And finally, for those who celebrate it... ...for those who don’t, have a lovely Sunday.

Alright!

Mat made landfall in "The Crash." Now a reasonable first draft of "Containment" is done. It’s too late in the day now, but I’ll upload it tomorrow for a light Easter read.

Good night!

Ferd.  :-)
