Amanda Orneck liked an update for A God in the Shed

Hello friends,

Remember last update? Sure you do! I talked about a bunch of stuff. Asked you to review The Life Engineered on Amazon. Discussed the future of A God in the Shed. We had a blast! Do you remember me talking about the latest Nerdist contest and how I wasn’t going to participate but had something special I might be doing instead? Well, here we are...

Probably the best thing to have come out of the whole Inkshares experience is the community of writers that I now have the privilege of hanging out with. These are driven and creative individuals who love nothing better than to tell stories, so when the theme was announced, video games, many couldn’t resist.

So while not directly participating in the contest, it’s my honour to announce that I will be contributing to ’Too Many Controllers’, an anthology written by fifteen Inkshares authors who love video games. Each of us is passionate about video games in our own way and are bringing a story under that umbrella to the table.

I’ve read some of the synopsis and they look amazing. To be honest, I came very close to declining the invitation because I couldn’t really come up with an idea that lived up to what was already on offer, but then... it hit me. Something that’s very much in the same voice as everything else I tend to write and I’m getting extremely excited for it. Go check it out. This thing is going to be a blast. 

Go check it out. This thing is going to be a blast.

Cheers,
JF

    Holy Crap!  I got my first review - and it’s a good one!  I’ve revised the synopsis and ‘About the Book’ sections.  And the first two chapters are up for critique as a part of DraftShares.  So please have a look and share your thoughts.  If you don’t, the Men in Black might show up at your door… with pie.  But is the pie a lie?

        Amanda Orneck liked an update for The Knightmares

        Hello fellow Knightmares!

        I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend! 

        Over the last few days I had a good influx of sales, and I wanted to not only thank all of those who bought a copy of THE KNIGHTMARES, but also those who helped push traffic towards the project. 

        AND, on top of all that we just hit 60 sales. Like I promised, for every thirty sales I will post a new chapter. So please check out Chapter 5: Hall of Nightmares that was just posted on the inkshares page.

        Other updates of note: I have been meeting with the new cover artist and things are progressing. It’s very tough to try and find some kind of notable imagery that ties the story down into something iconic. We think we’ve found such a scene. If you were a fan of Mary GrandPré who did the original Harry Potter series covers, then you’ll love this. 

        And lastly, I am putting the finishing touches on theknightmares.com, which will be the hub for all things about the book. Check it out when you get a chance, but make sure to come back in a few days when it’s done. 

        Thanks again to everyone!

          Amanda Orneck liked an update for Rune of the Apprentice
          Apprentices and Masters! Balticon50 was a blast! Four days of epic awesome! 

          I’m still reeling from it all, but wanted to do a QUICK follow-up for folks who have not yet pre-ordered their copy of  "Rune of the Apprentice" which you can do by clicking HERE! 


          If you have not yet claimed your credits, open your Inkshares email entitled "You’ve Got Credits!" and click the green "CLAIM" button, then order "Rune of the Apprentice" HERE 

          https://www.inkshares.com/books/rune-of-the-apprentice


          I’ll be doing a more formal update with all of my pictures over on my blog, soon! But here are a few good sneak peeks to hold you over! As you can tell, Balticon50 was a blast!


          If you were there and have pictures to share please tweet @StoneJamison, Facebook, or email them to me at stonejamison@gmail.com I’d love to add your pics on my blog!



          Remember, it’s because of support from our community (people like you!) that new authors (like me!) can get the word of mouth traction they need to succeed. 

          Your pre-order (and a honest review if you are willing) is absolutely VITAL for my book’s success, so THANK YOU! Every single pre-order counts, so please don’t wait!


          Time is of the essence, so please pre-order "Rune of the Apprentice" today!  Also, please spread the word so we can get the critical mass of visibility! Every "share" helps!

          To make things easy for you, the direct link is HERE:

          Thank you!
          -Jamison Stone



          P.S. For those of you who already have ordered RUNE, I have also just been included in a super awesome short story anthology, which you can check out HERE (more on that soon)

            Been a while since an update, but it’s looking like the first draft will be done ahead of schedule! Maybe preorders will be up sooner than expected~

              Amanda Orneck liked an update for SideScroller

              The video game contest is in one day! To celebrate, I’m going streaking through my hometown!

              To celebrate in an even BETTER way, I present to you all the new book cover for SideScroller! (I’m computer-illiterate, so I have no idea how to post the cover into this message. But you can just visit the SideScroller page to check it out in all it’s fiery glory!)

               I can’t take any credit for the beautiful artwork, though. That’s all thanks to fellow Inksharian (is that a word? I’m making it one) and talented writer, Tabi Card. Check out Tabi’s page, particularly her book "Scribbles"! You rock, Tabi!

              I’ll see you tomorrow for the launch of the contest! Thanks so much for following SideScroller. I can’t wait to show you what happens in it.
