Hi lovely people!

If you think about it, Friday is pretty much the weekend. And if you close your eyes and breathe deeply on a Monday morning, you can almost imagine that it's still the weekend. SO here's my Friday update!

Everyone go read this absolutely stellar interview, "What's Hybrid Publishing All About Anyway?" by John Robin on book coach Jenni Nash's blog. If you ever wondered how to explain Inkshares to friends, family, and strangers, read this!

Here's the video of me reading an excerpt from the end of Episode I last Sunday at the MNSpec 2015 Local Author Showcase! I have that problem where I'm mortified watching myself on video and hearing the sound of my own voice recorded, but OH WELL!

(I say "uh" about 17 times at the end. You'd think I've never done any public speaking before! UGH CARA WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU.)

Upcoming Events:

• I'll have an artist's table at the Holiday Geek Expo Dec 5th and 6th. I'll be selling a bunch of art and trying to hock my book, of course!
  

Look at this mock cover Alex made from my illustration!

• Inkshares Review-a-Thon Day! (Date TBD)

I'm planning a day of getting people (authors and readers) to review books on Inkshares. We already have several prizes in the works for people willing to post reviews during the event. I want to do author Q&As throughout the day, maybe hold something live like a Google+ hangout, and I'd love for authors to come up with their own ways to participate. Make up your own contest, give away prizes, whatever you want!

 IF YOU WANT TO HELP ME PLAN THIS THING message me on twitter @acwestonwrites. Thanks!

• Inkshares Authors Showcase Coloring and Activity Book, 2nd Edition!

Yep, we're doing another one. Details to follow.

FINALLY:

If you liked the Wheel of Time series, go check out Storm of Fury by Andrew Wood:

The Fury has stood for a thousand years, and the bones of men are scattered beneath its terrible winds. Legions of horrors are forged within by a vengeful god and march outwards to wage war upon all sinners. This is humanity's fate.

ORDER IT!
