Sadly this will not be the lengthy update I have been planning for some time. We have just over three weeks left, and although the odds of hitting the Quill goal seem to be quickly dwindling it is still possible to make it happen. It’s obvious that my own attempts at marketing and raising awareness have not been as effectual as they need to be, so I implore you to spread the word. 

I’ve had to adjust my plans for promotional material as certain things have fallen through the cracks due to circumstances. The additional crew write-ups will be coming shortly, sadly without art, in an effort to make a final blitz of marketing as we go into this stretch.

      Trekonomics review in Publishers’ Weekly

      Dear friends and backers of Trekonomics,

      I am delighted to let you know that the first reviews are in. In particular, here is a nice one from Publishers’ Weekly (read in full here: http://publishersweekly.com/978-1-9417-5875-5). And this is the screenshot for your convenience.

      We will be announcing a series of events shortly!

      In the meantime, as usual,

      Live long, and prosper!

      Manu

        Very quick update, my lovelies:

        I got to interview Jeremy Thomas, the CEO here at Inkshares, and you can read it here:

        http://renderositymagazine.com/writing-wednesdays-with-michael-haase-interview-with-jeremy-thomas-ceo-of-inkshares-com-cms-487

        It was quite kind and generous of him to lend his time to me for the interview. Be sure to read it, you’ll learn a thing or two about Inkshares!

        Also, I apologize for any delay in responding to any of you. Writing and everything else has kept me quite busy. I am currently revamping my schedule to be more regular, and I will get back to you soon, my friends. Lots of movin’ and shakin’ going on over here!

        In the meantime, go browse through the books on here and support some amazing authors! 

        And definitely check out the Geek & Sundry Hard Science contest, because I know from personal experience that every author involved is in a state of high stress, and a purchase from you could literally make their day.

        Have a great day everybody.

        -Michael.

          Thomas J. Arnold liked an update for A God in the Shed

           Hello dear supporters!

          I wish I had a more clever name for you guys. Something from the book. I could use ’Watchers’ as I’m using with levels of support but I’m planning on changing that name in the manuscript. It’s too obvious and on the nose, but I’m getting off topic before I even get started.

          Good news! We’re above 600 pre-orders! In fact, as of this writing we are at 616. We have less than 140 pre-orders to get which feels almost attainable. The bad news is we have less than ten days to do so.

          Good news redux! A lot of my writing buddies here on Inkshares have banded together to help me out and they’re doing an amazing job of it. Christopher Huang, Andre Brun and John Robin have been spearheading herculean efforts to help me get to the 750 pre-order goal and it’s been incredible. Please click on their name and check out their books. Each is doing something different and beautiful.

          Now, I know a lot of you are still on the fence about pre-ordering or are just hanging out because of whatever reason and I totally respect that, but let me try to get you to support A God in the Shed by reminding you of the incentives. This is what you get if you pre-order this book: 

          1. Each pre-order enters you into the ‘I want to kill a reader’ raffle. The winner will have his name and likeness used in the book as a minor character that gets killed off. The author will work with the winner to find the appropriate means of demise to satisfy both the winner and the story. 
          2. Each physical copy of A God in the Shed will be signed and numbered as an exclusive first edition item. 
          3. Free, exclusive A God in the Shed bookmarks will be included with the physical copies and mailed to eBook supporters. 
          4. Orders of three or more copies guarantees your name to appear in the Patrons list printed at the end of the book. 
          5. You get to enjoy the satisfaction and pride at having supported both art and literature.
          Finally, I want to point out that this book is a bit of a proof of concept. I don’t know that many authors have been able to double-dip in the Inkshares pool yet. I want to show that a writer can fund more than one work of literature on the site. That this can be a viable platform for repeat use. This is important because it can demonstrate that Inkshares is a marketplace for books in development. I want readers to shop on Inkshares and encourage books, not just writers.

          So pre-order your copy or get someone you know to pre-order a copy. Aside from the (cool) gimmicks above, you’re helping literature break free of the bonds of traditional publishing in a way that self-publishing still hasn’t achieved.

          Thank you,
          JF

            Greetings spies and superspies! 

            I just wanted to step aside from promoting my own book to shed light on another project that’s nearing its funding goal. It still needs a little over 130 pre-orders to get full funding on Inkshares. I think it’s worth your attention and I hope you’ll agree. Check it out:

            A God in the Shed by J-F Dubeau is a Fantasy/Horror story set in the forgettably small village of St-Ferdinand, in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. The villagers have been hiding terrible secret for generations, but when their mysterious captive escapes but gets inadvertently trapped in the McKenzy’s backyard shed, it’s up to the Venus and her friends to figure out how to dispose of this terrible and malevolent burden; an Old God of hate and death.

            You can find out more about this dark and beautiful, read sample chapters, reviews and pre-order you copy of A God in the Shed by visiting: www.inkshares.com/books/a-god-in-the-shed

            You can listen to the prologue as read by Ageless author Paul Inman here: youtu.be/XJw5oZhqtXo

            Need more incentive?

            •You get to enjoy the satisfaction and pride at having supported both art and literature.

            A God in the Shed is the first part of a trilogy that pushes the line between beauty and horror by telling a story that changes how we look at magic and the world around us. You have a chance of being part of making this book a reality and supporting a new author on his journey.

            However, time is running out! The campaign ends April 22nd. Don’t miss out and order today!
