Thad Woodman liked an update for Blood Dawn

It's my birthday today, and guess what the big highlight has been?


That's right! After overwhelming feedback from readers this weekend -- all of it near unanimous in support of switching to the new funding model and qualifying for the Quill imprint -- I decided LET'S DO THIS!

As of now, Blood Dawn has reached its funding goal! Blood Dawn will at the very least be published under the Quill imprint (click here to read more about what that entails).

However, we still have until April 11th to push hard and get Blood Dawn to 750 pre-orders. If we can do that, then Blood Dawn will be published as a full Inkshares production, with all the added perks.

Either way, Blood Dawn will be a print book and an ebook, which means it will get out there for readers to enjoy! All of you who have supported this book and the many who have emailed me expressing your excitement for Blood Dawn will soon be able to read it -- hold it in your hands, live Rena's story the way I've been living it for the last 14 months.

So, if you haven't pre-ordered this book, or if you've been waiting until it picks up a bit of momentum, now you can jump on board knowing your pre-order is going toward helping Blood Dawn reach 750 pre-orders so that it will get full Inkshares support including more in-depth editorial, design and distribution services. Most importantly, you can order knowing this is a book you will get to read no matter what.

Visit Blood Dawn's new page and order here: https://www.inkshares.com/projects/blood-dawn

You'll notice if you visit the Blood Dawn page that there are now four options:

  • Acolyte (1 ebook = $10)
  • Sun Priest (1 print book = $20 + $15 shipping for non-US residents)
  • God-King (3 print books = $60 + $15 shipping for non-US residents)
  • Dragon (7 print books = $140 + $15 shipping for non-US residents)

Here's to Blood Dawn, and THANK YOU for your generous support. Without you, none of this would be possible. You've helped me live my dream, and I promise, this adventure is just getting started.

    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!

      (I don't feel like this needs any context at this point. Just... space wolf angel.)

        Storm of Fury
        For untold ages, Na’lek, creator of mankind, has tolerated the sins of his people. But no more. Soon, his Fury will pour over Lantrelia, wiping humanity from the face of existence. If brave heroes do not rise to challenge him, all hope is lost.
