Inkshares just released a new blog post where they asked the current top ten authors in the Nerdist video-game contest to single out one (or more) of their competitors, either inside or outside of the current top ten, that has caught their eye.

Greetings from Memphis!

I am continuing my onward trek across this country and taking in thee sights with Emma in tow. I do enjoy adventures, and traveling like this is no exception. We are just 6 orders away from Quill, and I can’t believe it. This is going so well, and I can’t thank you enough. 

Then I get to wake up to the news The Sleeping Man has been blogged about! Christopher Irvin, the author of Wrestletown, has posted about this book for the whole internet to see if you would only just click here.

Well, I’ve taken advantage of this hotel’s breakfast they have termed as free, whereas I would use the term, nonexistent. Now I’m going to Elvis’ house to see if there’s a pretty little thing waiting for the King, down in the Jungle Room.

Sweet Dreams,

Stephen

Author spotlight!

This week, I’d like to direct your attention to the fascinating dark fantasy Borehole Bazaar: A Vow Unbroken, by  Kendra Namednil 

 

This is a fantasy epic of a different breed. Familiar fantasy creatures coexist and interact in unfamiliar but truthful-seeming ways in a world where one must tread carefully amidst hostile forces on all sides, at all times. Kendra expertly sets the tone and breathes atmosphere into this masterwork of dark fantasy. This isn’t a fantasy land for escapists: this is a brutal, savage land full of danger and catastrophe. In a world like this, where everything is at odds with you no matter who you are...just imagine what kind of hero can arise.
Get this book to Quill, because I really want to read it.

Also, Tantalus Depths is only 4 pre-orders away from 400. Just saying ;)

Good evening all!!

Since we’ve hit 125 orders, it’s time for me to reveal another piece of the digital painting! As a reminder, everyone who pre-orders a copy will automatically get this free digital painting :D 

After my recent visit to Wisconsin, I felt inspired to draw some of the characters you will meet in AYSYWTQ?. Below, I have a rough pen drawing of a certain dragon that will make his/her debut in Chapter 4 - Scorchlands. Check it out! 

Please pre-order a copy if you haven’t yet :) Thank you all for supporting my project and dream of publishing my first novel. Have a great night!!

Best,

Alisa-chan

Story Update:

When only a few thin layers of fabric are the only things protecting you from an empty, hostile void, you want to make sure you’re getting the best protection available. Fortunately, Mary Ketch and the rest of the crew of The Diamelen have been equipped with highly reliable exo-suits. Will these suits be enough to keep them safe in the unknown depths of Tantalus 13? Only time will tell...
 

Also, thanks to your continued support, we’ve hit another pre-order milestone!
 

This is it, guys...
