James Rasile liked an update for Borehole Bazaar: A Vow Unbroken

A very good Wednesday to all!  Someone won a prize as I have hit 125 sales, but the randomizer has not yet been run.  I am in transit from my hometown of Arcata back to San Francisco, so said randomizer will spin as soon as I get back home.  (Probably tomorrow morning)

The reading was very good and quite a bit of fun!  Even though it was smaller than I’d hoped, I think it was a good crowd and, hopefully, these folks will help to spread the word!  Prizes were doled out and there was much rejoicing!  Also a whole lot of interest in whether I was going to build a D20 world setting off of this series and how exactly that would work.  I hadn’t much thought about building a system, but I love typing, so who knows!  (Well, that is to say, I’ll throw it on with the other million projects I’ve got stewing)

Now, for the weekly story!  In fact, I’m gonna put up all the previous stories, just in case you missed them.  They’re linked in, so just press the story you would like to read and BAM!  You’re there!  As always, pre-read these tales before just assuming they’re appropriate for your kids.  They should be, but…

Kiki and the Cantaloupe

Kiki Angers Ambition

Kiki meets Tranquility

Pretty Girl and Luchadore

Bosco Follows his Nose

This week’s story -->;;;;;;  Forgiveness in a Latte


And, of course, please check out the changes to Borehole Bazaar’s Landing Page!

    Layout Options

    Hey Everyone!

    So, I’ve been playing around with a variety of layout options. One option includes putting text on a white page with illustrations on an opposite page. Another layout option would include putting all of the body text on top of the corresponding images. And, a third would be more of a hybrid option.

    If you were to choose one layout, what would you choose? 

    A) White with adjacent illustration


    B) Text on images

    C) A hybrid of the two?

        James Rasile liked an update for Tantalus Depths

        Story Update:

        When only a few thin layers of fabric are the only things protecting you from an empty, hostile void, you want to make sure you’re getting the best protection available. Fortunately, Mary Ketch and the rest of the crew of The Diamelen have been equipped with highly reliable exo-suits. Will these suits be enough to keep them safe in the unknown depths of Tantalus 13? Only time will tell...
         

        Also, thanks to your continued support, we’ve hit another pre-order milestone!
         

        That’s right! We’ve officially crossed the halfway mark toward the 750 pre-order goal! We are currently right on schedule for the campaign. Keep it going, everyone! We have a long way to go, but we will get there.

          Hello my Knightmares! 

          Yesterday evening we hit 150! This is great news! And thank you to everyone who has supported me. Without you I wouldn’t be here, and without you I won’t be where I will be when all this comes to fruition. 


          With that said, I need everyone’s help! Everyone knows a friend or two who would be willing to support this book. Maybe it’s a family member who loves supporting the arts, or maybe it’s a handful of friends who dig horror fiction. Whatever the case, I need everyone to reach out to these people and try to get just two friends to pre-order. If you’re able to get two friends, I’ll throw in a FREE tshirt!

          Want to see what that tshirt looks like? 

          Here’s the front:

          And here’s the back:


          It’s a pretty good deal! Plus, for ever soft cover book order, you’ll get a free bookmark! And anyone who orders two or more books, you’ll get a FREE poster of the new cover art (coming soon!).

          AND we’re only 30 pre-orders away from the conclusion of the mini-story I posted last week! Check it out if you haven’t already. You can find that here.

          Please follow my fan page on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GAFinocc/
          And follow my instagram @the_knightmares

          And if you get the chance, check out some of these other projects that I have my eye on:

          Terminus by Jaye Milius
          In a future where technology lets the living speak with the dead, the afterlife is big business. Families can be reunited, lost loves can be together again, aging rock stars can even play reunion shows with long dead bandmates... all for a price.
          https://www.inkshares.com/books/terminus-9198

          They Are the Last by Elayna Mae Darcy
          All Piper wanted was to escape the tortures of Edgemont, but when her godmother returns to rescue her, she finds herself on an epic journey to master her Light and save the world she comes from, that she never knew existed.
          https://www.inkshares.com/books/they-are-the-last-7039

          Lucky by RH Webster
          Lucky was going home when she’s suddenly in the middle of an interstellar conspiracy. Who can she trust when she doesn’t know anyone?
          https://www.inkshares.com/books/lucky

          Please, if you like to read, check out these books. And if you want to buy another copy of The Knightmares for a friend, please do! Spread the word! 

          Take care, everyone!

            James Rasile liked an update for Dirt Face

            Hey everyone, 

            I hope the week is treating you wonderful. I will be sharing chapter 13 of my my novel tomorrow and it will be the last chapter I share until the book is in final edit and published. So if you want to read the rest help me reach my funding goals by ordering a copy or sharing with your friends. 

            Chapter 11 is action packed with sex, violence, and of course drug use. Our protagonist is put in a very vulnerable position that shapes the continued story. Events begin to unravel and this chapter is just a new beginning. 

            https://www.inkshares.com/books/dirt-face/book_segments/chapter-11-0653a2

            Excerpt from chapter 11: "Exhausted and sore I sweep away the glass and lay down on the blood stained bed. I stare at the ceiling until it leaves my focus. A blurry background to the night’s memories playing out like a savage movie. A crime scene becomes my cradle." 

            Please follow and pre-order Dirt Face at https://www.inkshares.com/books/dirt-face

              New Images, Gaining Traction

              Hey Everyone! Thanks for supporting and share Our Family’s Elephant with your networks, families and friends. It really means a lot that you appreciate the book and help to contribute to its success.

              This afternoon, I completed two new illustrations, with a few more to go! Check them out below! 

              If you have a chance, I’d really appreciate any recommendations (both here on Inkshares or your Social Networks) to get some more momentum.

              Thanks again for the continued support!

              “And last week, we even had an adventure in our front yard! With the pretty red and yellow leaves on the ground, our whole family raked them into a giant pile that was bigger than my head. Then we all took turns running and jumping into them!”

              “Where was Al?”asked Ms. Sharon.


                “Just as I was about to climb out of the pile, I was certain I heard him shouting for his turn.”

                    Hello everyone!

                    A quick midweek update: NEARLY THERE..!

                    Amazing 724 orders - a spitting distance from FULL INKSHARES PUBLISHING !!  
                    Though I’ll save my thanks for when we actually cross the finish line, I must say that a huge thanks is already due for these past two weeks to some colleagues, as well as invaluable help from Naomi at ICAP (my firm)’s marketing department, & to Evan Graham - who’s brill Tantalus Depths I have already asked you guys to order.

                    It’s not too late to order and get Wolfie through!
                    26 orders are all I need... 
                    You can still make a difference also to Norwood children’s charity using this link https://goo.gl/3bTKYB

                    And a while ago I promised a small something to top referrers - so ta-da: I made these mugs which I really hope they aren’t going to jinx this (a few colleagues already found it extremely amusing)  ...  they’re still up for grabs :-)

                    Let’s do this!!
