Yo, readers!

  Welcome to our 6th Detective Sunday! I almost lost count haha. I hope you all are enjoying yourselves this summer. It’s been extremely hot where I live, and there’s not many pools in sight that I can have all to myself. Oh, and remember to stay hydrated. I remember feeling really really tired to the point that I almost fell out during football practice. It’s not a great feeling; especially with sports, mind you. Anyways, onto the update!

  Well, I have a little surprise for you guys. This weekend I did some browsing through Inkshares and I felt I was missing plenty of things that other stable campaign books have. I wrote down some of the things and labeled them as weekly goals until I’m ready to start pre-ordering and such. Each Detective Sunday, I’ll bring something new to the table, or update the book synopsis and ask for opinions. However, today, this is the new "thing".                          https://youtu.be/0lJToqCG_n0

  That link leads to a video I made for Detective Diaries. It’s just a video of simple still images with text and instrumental music in the background. I’m starting to get familiar with the program I use, which is Premiere Pro, but it’s a paid program I won’t hold onto for long. So, I will be testing out different programs, and if you guys have suggestions, please don’t hesitate to message me. Also, this is my first time doing something like this, so excuse any errors. I’ll post the video on the book’s page as well for people checking out Detective Diaries. 

  Look forward to Chapter One: The Ward (Edited Version) sometime early next week. The beginning will be very different, and it will even feature Rean Bates--another key detective among the Detective Agency. Have a great morning/afternoon wherever you are, and remember to like the chapters and spread the word!

  Until next time, A.J.III

Good morning Dreamers!

Well, I’ve had quite the weekend. I have two huge elements of news that are equally important in different ways. I’ll go in the order of why I’m telling you. First, The Sleeping Man was June’s pick for the Epic Fantasy Syndicate! https://www.inkshares.com/syndicates/john-robin-s-epic-fantasy-syndicate. Having one syndicate pick is amazing, but having a second bathes me in a warm light. Secondly, I got promoted and had my daughter pin the new rank on: 

The support and interesting for The Sleeping Man is amazing and I cannot thank everyone enough. Now we just need to push to Quill, and there is plenty of time. A guest blog post, interview, and two syndicate picks can’t be wrong, so pre-order now! Pre-order again! Recommend! Share! Ride forth!

Sweet dreams,

Stephen

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

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

Greetings...

Since everyone liked my update where I shined a light on the JPL. Here are some quick tidbits about the Vampire Legend: While vampires had been around in legend and even part of mass hysteria in eastern Europe very early on. It was the novel The Vampyre written in 1819 that got the ball rolling. Bram Stroker’s Dracula came about in 1897. 

In some legends, creating a vampire was as simple as having an animal jump over a corpse. In others, it was curse from God or Russian Witches. Still, to this day, my favorite method of destroying a vampire from legend:

Iron Nails ran through the chest followed by a Hawethorne stake through each leg. Bits of steel placed in the mouth, over the eyes, and in between the fingernails before burial. Then decapitation of the head, turn it around, fill the coffin with rosepedals and bury the damn thing. This wouldn’t actually kill the vampire mind you, only keep it trapped. As of 2006, they are still finding corpses being dug up with this treatment. 

Which in my head just means they set the vampires free right?

Oh right! Artwork! Speaking of being set free.... here is a scene painted by Lizzy Perez of The Seventh Age:

We are so close to 1000 orders guys. If you are following this campaign and haven’t jumped in yet: 27 spots left. I’m collecting more art such as what’s above for prize raffles when we hit the magic number. Hop in, follow the updates for more bite-sized facts about strange occult legends... and a kick-ass book about what happens when they all come crashing back. 

Hey guys, I’m just simply asking for recommendations, get the word out more than what it is. My brain is exhausted and my brain is running out of glucose. Headaches are setting in and the emotional turmoil is turning me into a dinosaur. 

Good morning!! As I promised, here is the first piece of the painting! The subsequent pieces will be revealed every 25 pre-orders from here on out :) And thanks to all of you I’m currently in 3rd place in the contest! I want to ride this momentum and push myself to write even harder this weekend :)

Friday update! That means its time for my first vlog! Which means it’s time for my first nightmare with editing and rendering problems galore...which means it’s more like an early Saturday update.
But whatever, here it is:
 

Also, in case I haven’t yet made it literally impossible to forget, please place your pre-order for Tantalus Depths if you haven’t already!

Race to 100 reviews on Amazon!

I even created a graphic for this sh*t so you know I’m serious! Right now we’re at 17 and we’re not stopping ’til 100 you dirty little monkeys!

LEAVE A REVIEW HERE!

 

Thank you guys for all the support! Get in there with those reviews! Remember you don’t have to write much, just a couple words an a couple stars will do!
