Is she crazy or is it all a horrible nightmare she can’t wake up from? Jayashree Atkinson has been told her whole life she’s crazy: after all, most people don’t dream while they’re awake.
Hello!
I've uploaded three chapters. With a brief stop in the late 20th century, we're now definitely in the 21st century. It's not quite the same as the world we know... there's something quite different... something to do with someone we met back in 1635. There's a few other little differences, notably the existence of our antagonist, Alexander Reynold. He's not only an egotistical megalomaniac, but he knows something about Ilaria. And he has very ambitious plans involving interstellar space travel and life extension.
I want to thank everyone who has pre-ordered so far. If you like what you read, please get your friends to pre-order. Should Inkshares publish Oculus, all pre-order royalties I receive will go to Amnesty International and Refuge. See the project page for more details.
I had a great weekend, out demonstrating with my family in London in the hope of persuading the UK government to allow in more refugees fleeing war in Syria and across the world. A big part of Oculus is about celebrating selfless acts of compassion, particularly those of women, so I would like to take the opportunity to highlight the work of a real-world hero - Gabriela Andreevska - a young Macedonian who is helping thousands of refugees. Please support her efforts, and put pressure on your leaders to help these people - not by dropping bombs on them, not by letting them drown in the sea, but providing them with safe passage and somewhere to live.

Hey guys,
Just a quick note to let you all know that there was a featured interview with me on the blog of fellow Inkshares author John Robin.
World Builders - Paul Robinson
There's some questions there that I have answered with varying degrees of success as well as an excerpt and an exclusive about the title of the sequel to Ghosts of War.
Also if epic fantasy is your kind of thing you should check out John Robin's book Blood Dawn, which is also on Inkshares.
Oh and before I forget, Ghosts of War passed 200 followers overnight and sold a couple more copies as well. If you haven't yet grabbed a copy, I really hope you'll consider doing so, there's a little under 3 weeks remaining in the Nerdist competition and every order gets Ghosts that little bit closer to the top 5.
If you have any referral credits hanging around you can put those towards the cost of the book, further reducing the commitment.
I can't do this without all of you (yes...you).
Until next time.
The Nerdist Inkshares Top 10 article is out! The Nerdist Inkshares Top 10 article is out! Life is not a meaningless lie!
Just kidding. Still, though! It's nice.
DID YOU KNOW that there's an Inkshares book close to reaching 1,000 pre-orders? THIS IS EXCITING. Trekonomics! Go pre-order it!!!
And... hey... want a hint of the secret cool thing we're doing because we obviously have a ton of spare time? You know you do...
Aaaand now you know whether or not Cara can keep a secret. (She cannot.)
Thank you to everyone who has pre-ordered! To those who have not: reconsider!
And have a wonderful weekend, either way. :)
Cara
