Jane-Holly Meissner liked an update for Storm Song

Good afternoon, Sailors!

Well... we did it! It feels surreal right now, but it’s official! Storm Song is listed as the #2 finish of the Geek & Sundry fantasy contest.y The last 3 ’months have been incredibly intense and stressful, but so so so worth it. 

I’ll be keeping you guys updated on what’s what as this progresses. 

Thank you again. I’ll update again when I can be more coherent and not just a bundle of overwhelming emotions  

Until then!

- Allison

    Jane-Holly Meissner liked a review for Witherfist
    I'll summarise Witherfist in three points: wonderful pacing, skillful descriptions, relatable characters. Oh... and right from the start, it promises a magical adventure.

        Friends, Readers, and Sorcerers All,

        WE DID IT!

        We hit 250 pre-orders! Actually, as I type this, we’re at 261. Not quite enough to win the Geek and Sundry contest, but enough to guarantee publication. No matter what else happens, SORCERY FOR BEGINNERS will be printed and available for sale on Amazon. How do I feel about this?

        Seriously, I am overwhelmed by the support you’ve all shown me and this book in the last month. Some of you are family. Some of you I haven’t seen in over ten years. Some of you are complete strangers. But from now on, I consider all of you friends and rock stars. A thousand thank yous are not enough.

        WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

        The contest may be over, but the crowd-funding period continues until January 1. If we can get to 750 pre-orders by then, Inkshares will put full marketing and distribution
        support behind SORCERY FOR BEGINNERS. So keep mentioning it to friends and spreading the word, it helps us out a ton!

        BUT WHEN WILL YOU GET YOUR BOOK?

        Not until 2017, I’m afraid. When, I’m not exactly sure yet. One of the reasons I chose to publish with Inkshares is that SORCERY has a heavy design element. So we have to get notes from an editor, create around 30 illustrations, design a cover, and format every page to look like a "For Dummies" guide. I want to create something for you guys that looks really cool and different, but to do that will take a little time.

        However -- if you’d like to read SORCERY earlier, simply let me know and I will send you a PDF of the full manuscript. I’ll probably make some edits myself before sending it to Inkshares, but I can send a PDF by Christmas for those who are interested.

        Again, I’d like to take a moment to thank all of you for your support and friendship. Crowd-funding this book was one of the more scary things I’ve done, and your encouragement kept me going. Because of you, a book I wrote will be published and put into the world. Just knowing you have my back makes me want to be a better writer, and give you something you’ll really enjoy.

        On top of that, you guys raised $570 for breast cancer prevention over the last three days! I know Jeannine and all the other cancer fighters out there will appreciate it. Thanks again, and I’ll be in touch soon --

          The contest is almost over! 

          By 12pm PST / 7pm GMT the Geek & Sundry fantasy contest will be over. That means you have only a few more hours to get your signed paperback copy of Witherfist and support the book as it punches higher up the top 10.

          As a little end of contest treat, here is the last in the current series of character portraits. It’s time for Empress Lian to make her grand entrance...

            Ladies and gentleman,

            Tomorrow marks a very special day! That’s right, tomorrow is wonderful. Why, you ask? Because tomorrow is my amazing daughter’s BIRTHDAY! 14 years ago she blessed this world with her presence! She made me an honest man! I am proud of everything she does and I know she will change this world!

            Also, tomorrow marks the beginning of NaNoWriMo (for those in the dark, National Novel Writing Month). I’ve never participated in NaNoWriMo, and thought I might test the waters a bit. I have two clear goals: 1) Write EVERYDAY during the month November, and 2) try to finish as much as I can on TIMELESS: The Life and Times of Eugene Trickens. 


            Now, most writers usually stick to the 1,700 words per day tract to end up with a 50,000+ novel by Dec 1. I am NOT going to be doing that, unless it comes naturally. The ultimate goal for me is to learn how to be consistent with my writing. Consistency is integral to be a success at anything! I need to get that rolling, then we can worry about word counts. 

            I’m excited, aren’t you? 

            Great things are happening at Inkshares. Big, amazing, wonderful things. 

            Congrats to all the winners of the Crypt TV contest and I look forward to reading your books!

                  Jane-Holly Meissner liked an update for The Living God


                  Happy Monday!!!

                  Today is the last day of the Geek & Sundry Fantasy Contest. It is currently sitting at 9th. I’d really like to stay in the Top 10, but I desperately need your help to do it. If you haven’t already, please consider supporting the book by placing a pre-order. It would mean the world to me. This is a very important moment in my life and I’d greatly appreciate you support in making it a complete success. 

                  The Living God has crossed the Quill Goal, but if it stays in the Top 10 it could be featured in any contest publicity, which will greatly help with marketing it. Not to mention, it would be wonderful to say that it was Top 10 among 300+ contest entries!  

                  If you have a spare $10 bucks and want to make an author’s day, please consider throwing your support behind The Living God! 

                  Much love!
                  ~ Kaytalin
