Matthew Poat sent an update for Squids In

Honest to god my sons choice of outfit was just a happy coincidence! 

So anyway, SQUIDS IN has dropped all the way down to 6th place in the Nerdist competition, a full 10 orders behind the book that currently holds 3rd place. 

If you could dig deep and send some pre-orders over this way, Hendrix the octopus would love you forever!

    Matthew Poat liked an update for Destiny Imperfect

    Awesome news Destiny –followers,

    The ‘For the Love of Fiction Syndicate’ has selected Destiny Imperfect as their book of the month! This is fantastic news and I’d like to say thanks so much to the Syndicate for choosing this book.  If you’re an Inkshares regular, then joining a syndicate like this one is a great way to meet new people and help authors get published. They really do make a difference. Follow the link above and see if it’s a syndicate you can get into!

    The other good news is that Destiny Imperfect has broken through the 50 pre-order mark and is currently sitting second in the Inkshares/Nerdist contest. You guys rock! More than 50 pre-orders in a little over a week is sensational. But I still need all the help I can get as there are a bunch of excellent books right behind. If you are following Destiny Imperfect, I’d love it if you could pre-order and keep us ahead of the pack. It’d also be great if you could share the love and recommend it to friends and family.

    Thanks again to the ‘For the Love of Fiction Syndicate’ and have a great day!

    Cheers,

    Peter

      Matthew Poat sent an update for Cupid by Proxy

      Hey Guys, 

      Sorry it has been so quietly recently on the "Cupid by Proxy" front, this months Nerdist contest has been taking up a lot of my time because my entry "Squids In" has been somewhere in the top 7 from the start. It’s currently in 5th place so I really should be working on getting that book back up to 3rd, but I’ve been neglecting CbP for too long and need to issue an update. 

      So last week I went and did some research at Alnick Castle and Grounds, specifically the Poison Garden, which houses the plants a lot of medicines and illegal drugs are derived from (including opium poppies, cannabis, cocaine, khat and even... rhubarb?)



      This whole section of the grounds is gated and protected by security for obvious reasons. You can only enter when accompanied by a trained botanist who provides additional insight into each plant, its effects and some extra snippets of really interesting facts. It truly was a pleasure to visit and I recommend it to all.


      It gave me some wonderful ideas with regards to the plants "The Arcanum" will utilize in their various concoctions and I plan to upload chapter 4 a little later this week after giving it another once over.

      Thank you for following "Cupid by Proxy". If you are interested in something equally quirky but very different, please go check out my other project about a video-game playing octopus.
