It’s taken me awhile to shake the holiday blues (read: hangover). But now that I’ve gotten all the flu, food, and family one could ever hope for out of my system, I’m rediscovering cogency and am embracing the internet again.
First order of the new year: Say Hello to @Amanda Orneck, Inkshares author of Deus Hex Machina, here to share with us some key insights into crowdfunding, participating in contests, and being an Inkshares author. BAM!
What I enjoyed most about my conversation with Amanda, aside from her killer sense of humour, is how frank she is. She states exactly what an author needs to do, and exactly what an author needs to ask for from their network to get the job done.
On the topic of inspiration, other talented and successful authors we’ll be hearing from include @Evan Graham,@Jason Pomerance, @Ferd Crôtte, &@Rick Heinz. If you have questions you’d like these authors to answer, please don’t hesitate to reach out/speak up.
Sequel to It’s All Fun and Games, in which the friends continue their quest and meet some new allies on the way. If you liked Book 1, you’ll like this one too!
Ever thought to yourself, Should I buy 500 followers on Fiverr for $5? or, What are some things I should know before issuing a press release about my book?
Upcoming interviews include @Amanda Orneck and @Evan Graham , during which we dig into experiences using Reddit & other similar platforms (FYI @Liz Kerin).
One more thing: If people are interested in more than 5 min. soundbites, let me know. A few of our literary brethren have offered to discuss their experience in more depth. Huzzah!
I think that’s it! Questions, comments, etc. are all welcome (nay, they’re encouraged).

PS @Janna Grace and @Jane-Holly Meissner, I’m bulking up your YouTube video descriptions to help point people to your masterpieces. Could you check in the next few hours that I got everything right? Thank you!
I just want to take a moment to say a big thank you to everyone involved in this amazing community for everything you do. To the many brilliantly talented authors who are all laboring tirelessly on their campaigns in a dedicated push to realize their dreams, thank you. To the supportive readers who are willing to give their hard-earned resources to help others realize those same dreams, thank you. And, most of all to the incredible Inkshares staff, each of which does an insane amount of work in an unimaginably stressful job every single day, all so that we, as a community, have a chance to make those dreams come true. There’s really no place like Inkshares around, and I just wanted to take this moment to say thank you to all of you for all you do. I wish you all a very merry Christmas, a happy New Year, and an awesome everything else.
Sixty years after The Seclusion, in which America sealed itself off from the outside world, Patch Collins navigates the panoptic nightmare of a total surveillance state.
