Matthew Isaac Sobin liked an update for A God in the Shed

I won’t take much of your time. Just felt like celebrating with the people most responsible for this (after the staff from Inkshares) :

Let’s keep on trucking guys and gals and creatures from beyond the veil. Today, just today, I feel like there’s nothing that can stop us.

    Very quick update, my lovelies:

    I got to interview Jeremy Thomas, the CEO here at Inkshares, and you can read it here:

    http://renderositymagazine.com/writing-wednesdays-with-michael-haase-interview-with-jeremy-thomas-ceo-of-inkshares-com-cms-487

    It was quite kind and generous of him to lend his time to me for the interview. Be sure to read it, you’ll learn a thing or two about Inkshares!

    Also, I apologize for any delay in responding to any of you. Writing and everything else has kept me quite busy. I am currently revamping my schedule to be more regular, and I will get back to you soon, my friends. Lots of movin’ and shakin’ going on over here!

    In the meantime, go browse through the books on here and support some amazing authors! 

    And definitely check out the Geek & Sundry Hard Science contest, because I know from personal experience that every author involved is in a state of high stress, and a purchase from you could literally make their day.

    Have a great day everybody.

    -Michael.

       Hello dear supporters!

      I wish I had a more clever name for you guys. Something from the book. I could use ’Watchers’ as I’m using with levels of support but I’m planning on changing that name in the manuscript. It’s too obvious and on the nose, but I’m getting off topic before I even get started.

      Good news! We’re above 600 pre-orders! In fact, as of this writing we are at 616. We have less than 140 pre-orders to get which feels almost attainable. The bad news is we have less than ten days to do so.

      Good news redux! A lot of my writing buddies here on Inkshares have banded together to help me out and they’re doing an amazing job of it. Christopher Huang, Andre Brun and John Robin have been spearheading herculean efforts to help me get to the 750 pre-order goal and it’s been incredible. Please click on their name and check out their books. Each is doing something different and beautiful.

      Now, I know a lot of you are still on the fence about pre-ordering or are just hanging out because of whatever reason and I totally respect that, but let me try to get you to support A God in the Shed by reminding you of the incentives. This is what you get if you pre-order this book: 

      1. Each pre-order enters you into the ‘I want to kill a reader’ raffle. The winner will have his name and likeness used in the book as a minor character that gets killed off. The author will work with the winner to find the appropriate means of demise to satisfy both the winner and the story. 
      2. Each physical copy of A God in the Shed will be signed and numbered as an exclusive first edition item. 
      3. Free, exclusive A God in the Shed bookmarks will be included with the physical copies and mailed to eBook supporters. 
      4. Orders of three or more copies guarantees your name to appear in the Patrons list printed at the end of the book. 
      5. You get to enjoy the satisfaction and pride at having supported both art and literature.
      Finally, I want to point out that this book is a bit of a proof of concept. I don’t know that many authors have been able to double-dip in the Inkshares pool yet. I want to show that a writer can fund more than one work of literature on the site. That this can be a viable platform for repeat use. This is important because it can demonstrate that Inkshares is a marketplace for books in development. I want readers to shop on Inkshares and encourage books, not just writers.

      So pre-order your copy or get someone you know to pre-order a copy. Aside from the (cool) gimmicks above, you’re helping literature break free of the bonds of traditional publishing in a way that self-publishing still hasn’t achieved.

      Thank you,
      JF

        Matthew Isaac Sobin liked an update for Exile, Magus

        Hey everybody, I know I’ve been quiet lately but that’s just because I’m still in work mode.  This update isn’t about me or Exile, Magus though(I’ll talk about that this weekend).

        Right now I just want to make sure you’re aware of a great book which I hope to see hit 750 preorders soon so that it can get the full Inkshares treatment.  Its currently near that funding goal with only 133 pre-orders needed as of this typing to get full funding.  I think it’s worth your attention and I hope you’ll agree. Check it out:  
        A God in the Shed by J-F Dubeau is a Fantasy/Horror story set in the forgettably small village of St-Ferdinand, in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. The villagers have been hiding terrible secret for generations, but when their mysterious captive escapes but gets inadvertently trapped in the McKenzy’s backyard shed, it’s up to the Venus and her friends to figure out how to dispose of this terrible and malevolent burden; an Old God of hate and death.

          Howdy hexers!

          I’m going to pause the cyberpunk madness for a little bit, to let you know about another book that needs your help. J-F Dubeau’s novel A God in the Shed is a Lovecraft meets Twin Peaks romp through the suburbs of Quebec. I know several of you are huge old gods nerds, *cough* Kidthulhu *cough*, so this is definitely up your alley. 

          Here is the spiel. Take a look, and if you have credits or cash to spare, give this book some love:

            Hello there faithful companions! 

            I come bearing gifts! 

             (These are not my hands, in case there was any confusion)

            In this modern age, it can be hard to find time to crack open your freshly downloaded ebook version of Ageless. But do not fear, because I have come to your aid and brought with me the opening three chapters in the form of an audio sample read and recorded by yours truly. Now, listen while you drive, run, walk, sit, cook, eat, cut your grass, tie your shoes, roll your eyes at the annoying neighbors, scale a mountain, scale a fish, scale a dragon ...you get the point. 

            OVER AN HOUR OF THE BOOK READ TO YOU! (just enough to really hoooooook you in! And, according to the ebook and ABSOLUTELY no studies, that hook point is about 13% of the total book)

            Just CLICK THIS LINK and download your audio excerpt of Ageless by Paul Inman (that’s me)

            ****Takes a break from the Ageless promoting****

            Ok. Here’s the deal...

            There’s a project that’s nearing its funding goal that I’d like to bring your attention to. It still needs a little over 180 pre-orders to get full funding on Inkshares. I think it’s worth your attention and I hope you’ll agree. Check it out:
