Craig A. Munro liked an update for Tantalus Depths

Time for this week’s spotlight update!
This week I’d like to direct your attention to Proxy, by Rebekka S. Leber:
 

Proxy serves up a complex, thoroughly fleshed-out urban fantasy world with a tone that manages to be both whimsically magical and irreverently sardonic. We’re given a deliciously flawed protagonist, whose superhuman destiny is offset by her extremely human weaknesses. Max Lucas promises to be a new icon in the tradition of hard-bitten reluctant heroines.

If you liked Jessica Jones (and if you didn’t, you must not have seen it yet), Proxy is right down your alley. I can’t wait to see how this train wreck of an antihero chooses to use her powers when she becomes the last hope of a world that’s done nothing for her.

    Craig A. Munro liked an update for Sync City

    Greetings Jackolytes,

    The copyedited manuscript of Sync City has landed! This is fantastic news as it brings Sync City one critical step closer. I now need to gird my loins, park my butt in front of a computer and take on the words of wisdom passed down by the editorial gurus at Girl Friday Productions. It should be a fascinating experience.

    Also, for those that missed it, Jack has a new drinking buddy! Destiny Imperfect shrugged off some awesome late competition and clung onto third place in the recent Inkshares/Nerdist contest. This means Destiny will become a fully published reality. Many  Jackolytes have already hitched your carriage to the Destiny train, but if you haven’t, head over to here to check it out. We’d love to have you on board.

    Have a good one!

    Cheers,

    Peter

      Craig A. Munro liked an update for Cape’s Side Bay

      Hey Cape’s Side Bayers!

      We have only 200 pre-orders left until we reach full-publication! I have to say I am grinning non-stop at this. Thank you all for your support of this book, it has been incredible. I can’t wait for you all to read it!

      46 days remain in this campaign and I am exhausted, but it’s far from over and 200 orders is still a mountain to climb! 

      So please, if you have not yet pre-ordered your copy of Cape’s Side Bay you still have a chance to see your name in the back of the book! And if you have ordered, thank you so much and please continue to spread the word and share this book as much as possible (most of you have and I cannot thank you enough!).

      Huge congrats to Joni Dee having And The Wolf Shall Dwell reach full-publishing!

      Until next time,

      James

        Craig A. Munro liked an update for The Sleeping Man

        Good morning Dreamers,

        We made it to San Diego... after some brief stops in Vegas and LA, but we’re finally here and I’m about to report in to my intermediary school and then I’ll be on a Destroyer sailing off to [REDACTED] to [REDACTED] some pirates! Also, my Masters classes will soon be drawing to a close and then I’ll have to submit my thesis, which, as it turns out, I cannot use The Sleeping Man anymore because it will be published. So, now I have to write another book for my thesis. #FirstWorldProblems 

        Also, I would like to announce the formation of The Reviewer’s Association Syndicate (Patent Pending)! This is not only to democratically select books for a block of pre-orders, but to have its members suggest books for review by the syndicate members, and by joining, the agreement is that its members will review the books put forward. 

        I chose to do this because I had a pre-order campaign fail, and by spending hours a day reviewing and reading books on Inkshares, I have now had that failed campaign succeed (and it’s not even over yet). I want to further this positive network and I want to do that by passing on the tools I used to succeed. 

        I can’t thank everyone enough for their support, and since we’re guaranteed to get a copy, why not pre-order if you haven’t, share if you have, and help raise money for a great cause.


        Sweet Dreams,

        Stephen

          Oh - there is a brilliant break-down and discussion of this over in the scribophile forums: http://www.scribophile.com/forums/writing/21040

          (I realise I seem to be having a forum conversation with my self, but I figure this may be useful to others, and eventually someone else will join in :) )

            Craig A. Munro liked an update for Disintegration

            Good morning, everyone.

            Still chugging along.

            I got a couple nibbles about beta readers, but could certainly use some more. I know you’re all getting a lot of Inkshares email if you follow half as many people as I do but, if you happen to catch a glimpse of this update, let me know whether you’d like to join the beta crowd. I expect to have something for you by August.
