Nicola Sarjeant liked an update for Squids In

Hey All,

OK so following overwhelming support for the new cover, I have pushed the button and switched it over. I have also uploaded chapter two and written a brand new overview of the book. All of this can be found below:


Squids In tells the story of a burnout called Toby who befriends an octopus that animal activists stole from a lab and dumped in his pool. After noticing that the octopus is really good at playing video-games, Toby unleashes the octopus onto the competitive online gaming scene, amassing both wealth and fame. No one knew that the mad gaming skills belonged to an octopus, all they saw was Toby’s face and all they heard was Toby’s voice. It wasn’t until some enterprising hackers compromised Toby’s computer and the octopus is stolen that the wheels start to fall off this mass deception. So what happens next? Pre-order to find out... 


PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS NOT A BOOK FOR KIDS. IT CONTAINS FREQUENT USE OF PROFANITIES, MILD DRUG USE, MODERATE SEX SCENES AND ONE VERY NAUGHTY MONKEY!

You can either read Chapters One and Two on Inkshares by clicking the links below or follow the Audiobook link over to Dropbox in order to play/download Chapter One in audio format. Please note that there is swearing so be mindful of who is around you when you play it. Duration is 12 minutes and 40 seconds.

Thanks for your continued support. Please be sure to recommend the book, any lines of text you particularly like and pre-order if you have not already done so. 

Following a massive surge of activity yesterday, the book is now only 13 pre-orders away from breaking back into the top 3 in the Nerdist competition!

Have a great day!

    Tantalus Depths is only 6 away from 300 pre-orders! As I’ve said, once I reach that number, I’m going to make my original short story, The Perspecive Machine, temporarily free for download to all, as a way to say thanks.
     

    Let’s hit that goal asap, so I can give you all this thank you gift :)

      Nicola Sarjeant liked an update for Destiny Imperfect

      Greetings Destiny-followers,

      I just got my first podcast mention! JF Dubeau and Paul Inman of WriteBrain fame have a chat about the Inkshares/Nerdist contest in general, their awesome book in particular (one that I have pre-ordered), as well as giving honorable mentions to Destiny Imperfect and another top read (and my closet competitor), SideScroller (a book I have also pre-ordered). Go and have a listen to their podcast!

      And, if you haven’t already, take a look at Destiny Imperfect and see if it’s something you could pre-order. I could do with the help!

      Cheers,

      Peter

        Nicola Sarjeant liked an update for LOUISIANA BLOOD - A Chandler Travis and Duke  Lanoix mystery

        Hi you blood thirsty lot. 

        I’m just updating you all with what’s going on in my world. I’m finishing a final edit before joining the Quill gang and getting the publishing boat launched for Louisiana Blood.         As some of you may know, I’m also writing the follow up called  Bruges Blood as well.  What would be really great is if you could all take a spin over to the Bruges Blood site for that book and become a follower over there. By all means also leave any comments, it’s thanks to you that the book is being published and I’d like you all onboard for my reader update when I gear up to promote  BRUGES BLOOD.  

        You can check it out and follow me by clicking HERE!    

        Also while I have your attention there are a couple of books that you might like to throw some credits at as they are all first class reads.

        The author of SYNC CITY is not resting on his laurels either and has a cracking Sc-Fi project in the works DESTINY IMPERFECT check it out! 

        Another great novel I love is Pixilated Obsidian Roses  As the universe draws to a close, two young men befriend the mysterious Shedim, and their parallel worlds begin to converge--an experimental dark fantasy, in the vein of Lovecraftian Cosmic Horror. 

        Check Pixilated Obsidian Roses out HERE

        And finally,  another great genre mashup. Check out  SEVEN DAYS DEAD a brilliant new slant on a Zombie outbreak set against the backdrop of a middle east conflict.  Christopher has done a fantastic job of injecting something fresh into the undead genre and he deserves to succeed in getting this published.  Take a bite out of his novel and tuck in! 

        Okay, that’s my update.  Look forwards to seeing you all over on the side of Bruges Blood!

          Nicola Sarjeant liked an update for Sync City

          Greetings Jackolytes,

          Come Monday morning Jack gets exposed to the harsh light of a new production editor over at Girl Friday Productions. This both awesome and daunting at the same time. I shall keep you updated on Jack’s behaviour throughout the process.

          And Sync City’s potential stablemate, Destiny Imperfect, is currently in a battle royal (I had to check the spelling on this as I always thought it was royale!) for second place over at the Inkshares/Nerdist contest. There are a few worthy foes knocking on (and potentially knocking down) the Destiny Imperfect door, and I need your help to vanquish them. If you could check out Destiny Imperfect here and hit pre-order, that’d be very cool.

          Have an excellent weekend!

          Cheers,

          Peter

            Nicola Sarjeant liked an update for Destiny Imperfect

            Greetings Destiny-followers,

            Thanks so much for your excellent support. I awoke this morning (Seoul time) to see a pack of excellent writers nipping at the heels of Destiny Imperfect (third place is only two away). It would be tremendous if we could put some daylight between us and them. If you’re following Destiny Imperfect but have yet to hit the pre-order button, I’d love it if you could check it out again and consider doing so. If you have already pre-ordered Destiny Imperfect, grab your nearest and dearest and explain to them the critical nature of a video game-based book and its significance within the wider framework of reality. And then get them to pre-order! The contest has a long way to go and I could do with your help!

            Have a great weekend.

            Cheers,

            Peter
