Matt Kaye liked an update for The Darkest Places

Hey everyone, I want to give a special thanks to the two purchases I've already received. I'm really thrilled that there's some excitement for this story. It's been mostly a side-project while I've been toiling away on The Children of the Forest, but the Sword & Laser Contest (Part Deux) seemed like the perfect time to get the ball rolling!

I will be extending my promotion for The Children of the Forest to this story as well. Meaning that the first 50 buyers will receive a custom card, decorated by the lovely and extremely talented Cara Weston, author of She is the End. It's a fantastic story, and I can't recommend it enough, if you haven't yet, go over and give it a look.

Also, I will be extending backers to The Darkest Places the same reward I've featured on The Children of the Forest. Every  purchase nets you X 1 chance for a drawing on December 10th to win a $250.00 Amazon Gift Card. If you purchase a copy of both of my books, I will double each entry (X 4 tickets total!!)

So thanks again for the follows and the support, and make sure you spread the word for The Darkest Places so I can get this thing published!

    Rune of the Apprentice and Inkshares News Update!



    Apprentices and Masters, exciting things abound! We are all busy people so I'll keep it short and to the point via bullets:

    • Most importantly, the preliminary round of edits to the RUNE manuscript are nearly complete! お待たせ致しました! They should be done quite soon and we will then hit the next stage of edits followed by cover art and soon(ish) publication! Yay!

    • Sword and Laser is doing a "Sequel" contest with Inkshares!  Aspiring authors, this is your chance to get your science fiction or fantasy book published! The top 3 books with the most unique pre-orders will be published with special Sword and Laser marketing! Although RUNE did not utilize a contest to get published, had it not been for the Nerdist contest, I most likely would not have had the courage to crowdfund RUNE / bust my ass to get this awesome publishing deal. So, aspiring authors go upload your manuscripts and get promoting, and readers, go pre-order some great books! (I also am available @StoneJamison for any questions on crowd funding and how to have a successful Inkshares campaign!)

    • Inkshares Anniversary Holiday Promotion! For those of you who are tired of "Pre-Ordering" books, head on over HERE to get a special holiday 2 for 1 deal on these AWESOME ready to ship Inkshares books! Offer extends until December 11th so its a great way to not only get a wonderful book for yourself to read, but also pick up a FREE holiday gift, too! (This is a really sweet deal, folks.)

    • Inkshares Review-a-Thon! On December 19th, leave reviews on currently funding Inkshares books using the Inkshares "leave a review" option and win cool prizes. Along with other Inkshares authors, I'll be hanging out on Twitter in the #InksharesReviews tag as we share our favorite book projects, answer author Q&As, debate the merits of astronauts with swords versus cavemen with lasers, and more! Then, from 6 - 8pm ET, JF Dubeau and Paul Inman of the WriteBrain Podcast will be hosting a video livestream filled with author interviews, review readings, and live announcements of prize winners! Prizes?!?! YES! Everyone who leaves a review on December 19th by 6pm ET will be eligible to win fantastic prizes! Go check it out HERE! 

    I have a few more exciting updates for you all, however, I will wait a little bit to share them. Until then, enjoy the Sword and Laser Contest, Inkshares Anniversary Holiday Promotion, and the Inkshares Review-a-Thon! とても楽しそう!

    And as always, please feel free to hit me up on Twitter,  Facebook, or Twitch for some Epic Gaming Goodness!


    P.S. Before you ask: no, I was not the model for this drawing of Anti-mage, but I understand why you ask, and YES I am going to grow an epic mohawk and cosplay him! "They who live by the wand shall die by my blade." -The Anti-ist Mage of all Mages

        Matt Kaye liked an update for Phantasia

        Hello! So, as I'm sure most of you already have as well, I saw the Sword & Laser contest announcement and although I'm still working on Phantasia bit by bit, I thought I'd try my hand at the contest too with this idea: 

        "Without Light (working title) - A science-fiction story set in a world consumed by shadow-like beasts, and where a mother, along with her son, must set out to find her missing husband."
