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~

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.

Hello friends, family, and readers, 

I hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend. 

Since it was Memorial Day (yesterday), I wanted to highlight some of the Veterans or currently serving people who are writing great stuff here on Inkshares as a small token of gratitude, and just because these are promising books: 

• The Battle Within, a thriller and suspense novel about struggling with PTSD.
  
• Taming the Sun, a memoir about recovery.
  
• Seven Days Dead, a hard science fiction novel about the beginning of a zombie outbreak in the Middle East.
  
• Cries of Battle: Selstra, science fiction about a galaxy at war and humanity fighting against genocide.
  
• (If I missed someone, please let me know)

 If you served, thank you for your service. 

 ... 

 PS...

1. DraftShares is here. 
2. The next Nerdist contest starts tomorrow.  
   

  Hey readers! I have entered the latest Nerdist contest here on Inkshares! Tell your friends and grab your pre order! Let’s dominate this contest together! https://www.inkshares.com/books/w-a-s-d  

Hey all! I’m in the thick of it with chapter 8 on Deus Hex Machina, and things are getting CRAZY. Mechs and Goldfarmers and hexing, oh my!

But I want to talk to you about what I’m working on after DHM. I’ve joined an all-star writing team to put together an anthology all about my second love (after writing) -- video games. It’s called Too Many Controllers, and will feature stories from me and 14 other writers from Inkshares. I am SUPER DUPER excited about this guys, and have been itching to tell you about it.

Today the project went live and I’d love if you checked it out and backed it. Here’s a link: https://www.inkshares.com/books/too-many-controllers?referral_code=302fcf04

If you have any questions about the project, I’d be happy to answer them. I’ll give you a hint as to what my story will be about: It takes place on the Grid. Want to know more? Preorder today and find out!

So a resentfully, sober dwarf, an uncontrollably, honest goblin, and the world’s ugliest human walk into a dungeon...

Want to know more? Check out Too Many Controllers (https://www.inkshares.com/books/too-many-controllers?referral_code=cd07e0a9) an anthology of some of the nicest and most talented authors I know that I am lucky enough to be included in.

Apologies for the lack of snazz in this update.  It’s the curse of mobile!

Greeting Jackolytes,

First of all, thanks so much to those people that pre-ordered and pre-ordered again this past week in aid of wildfire relief in Northern Alberta. You truly are champions! I sent the donation off this evening. This donation will be matched by the Canadian government – bonus!Jack is still bumping and grinding his way through the production process, and there are still plenty of opportunities to pre-order. You can reach him at: Sync City . Spread the word to your friends, neighbors and enemies. There’s always space for more.

Cheers,

Peter
