Tony Valdez liked an update for Lucky

Dear Readers,

THE BIG NEWS: I am participating in a live Google+ Hangout on Saturday, March 26, at 3pm Eastern time (1pm Mountain time). I am excited to be joining Elayna Mae Darcy for a live version of her "Women Slaying Sci-Fi" blog series, along with Inkshares authors AC Weston and Amanda Orneck.

If you’re interested in joining us, follow the event on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/events/611136085710105/

Join us to ask questions about sci-fi, our creative processes, our favorite colors...you get the idea. :)

Still working on editing Chapter 8! I’m hoping to get it up this weekend for your viewing pleasure. However, Raiders of the Lost Ark is showing at my local cinema this weekend so I can’t promise that 1980s action movies won’t get in the way...!

As always, feel free to reach out on Twitter (@RH_Webster) or Facebook (www.facebook.com/RHWebster.ScienceFiction) with any comments, questions, or just to chat.

Have a wonderful weekend! Hope to see you at the hangout!

- Webster

    Tony Valdez liked an update for The Life Engineered

    Greetings again dear sentients!

    This week I want to talk to you guys about books. Obviously I want to slip in a quick reminder to go review The Life Engineered on Amazon and Goodreads and also to pre-order A God in the Shed (my next book on Inkshares should it fund), but I mostly want to point you to the books of three friends and acquaintances that I think you should look at.

    Since you’re into Science Fiction, obviously, I want to first point you to my friend A.C. Baldwin’s currently funding project; The Traveller’s Cup. A.C. (Amanda) is a skilled and hard working writer with a vivid imagination framed by a solid logical outlook. A perfect combination for a Science Fiction author and it shows in her work.

    Another Science Fiction project that deserves your attention, especially if you’re into having your mind blown by outlandish ideas that challenge how you see the future, is Pilot X by Tom Merritt. Tom tackles the often misused trope of Time Travel in this broadly imaginative and well thought out book about civilization living with time travel as a matter of fact. True to form, it is a very analytical and in depth exploration of the themes and their impact on society.

    Finally, a few people have compared The Life Engineered to a murder mystery of sorts. However, if you want a true murder mystery I highly recommend Christopher Huang’s Murder at the Veteran’s Club. Christopher is an incredibly talented writer that has a classic voice to his prose fitting of the time period and themes of his book.


    Check out these three books and please, browse around the Inkshares catalogue. There’s a lot of great work in there and the selection is growing daily.

    Cheers,
    JF

      Tony Valdez liked an update for Champions of the Third Planet

      Hello Champions!

      I’m extremely happy to report that Champions of the Third Planet been selected for the Nerdist Collection!  I know what you’re thinking -- "But Chris, you’re the coolest guy I know! How could YOU of all people be associated with the word ’nerd’ in any way, shape, or form? This is creating a cognitive dissonance in me that is personally shattering. I don’t know what’s real anymore."

      But it’s true! I’m now a soldier in the NERDIST EMPIRE. I don’t have a rank yet. Hoping for "berserker."

      Now back to writing!

      --Chris

        Tony Valdez liked an update for Orin and the Skyscrapers

        Hey y’all! 

        I have been busy proofreading and editing chapters 1-3. I will have chapter 4 up very soon. 

        I have begun working on a live action book trailer! So keep an eye out for updates on that, I will have a casting call and start shooting in May.  

        I am having a great time with this book and can’t wait to finish and polish it up for you guys. Thanks for the support and keep spreading the word for me. Right now we are just shy of 50% to Quill. 

        I will continue marketing after I complete some finalized artwork and produce some merchandise. 

        end of line

          Tony Valdez liked an update for Fortunes of the Space Sloth

          Greetings readers and followers of the Space Sloth!

          The big news for today (or tonight, early morning?) is that the full first draft is done!  Right now it’s sitting around 77,000 words.

          I don’t think that would have been possible without the push and support of having it on Inkshares.  So, thank you. 

          Right now I have a reviewer helping me with typos and grammar, and two reviewers are working through the draft to give feedback on the story and structure.  I’ll be getting things tightened up over the next couple weeks.

          There are 51 days left to hit my Inkshares goals.  I’ll be sending out some new tidbits and Sloth related information over the coming weeks.  In the meantime, if you have ANY contacts who might be interested in a fun space opera adventure please recommend “Fortunes of the Space Sloth”.

          Thanks!

            Dear Readers,

            Apologies for the delay in sending out updates. My IRL job was crazy over the last week and I am just now getting caught up.

            Bad news first: As you have probably figured out, we did not win the Nerdist Space Opera contest, but not for lack of trying! 

            Good news: We did make it to our Quill! Quill means that we have sold a minimum of 250 copies. We are still funding and will continue to sell copies until May 2. With luck and help from everyone seeing this update, we will get 500 more copies sold and be able to go forward with a full publishing deal!

            As incentive, I will post Chapter 8 to Inkshares once I finish editing it. I will post Chapter 9 when we get to 500 copies sold, and I will post Chapter 10 when we reach full funding goal of 750 copies sold!

            Thanks for all your support so far in this campaign! 

            - Webster
