Joseph Asphahani liked an update for She Is the End

Hey, kids.

It’s been a while. A lot has happened. And by ’a lot’ I mean... a book.

She Is the End is almost done.



Release date: March 1st.

I’ve toiled over it, shared it with people I trust, and brought it to a state where I’m really proud to share it with you. I think it’s pretty darn good.

Hey, remember that time when I organized the production of a coloring book promoting 12 different authors in just 10 days during the first Nerdist Contest? Good times! Or when I coordinated the Review-a-Thon? That was so fun! Plus a whole year of the Drinkshares podcast... I’ve met an amazing group of authors here and I will always be incredibly grateful for that.

I’m parting ways with Inkshares now to self-publish, and I wish everyone there all the best. You should be getting your refunds promptly if you ordered via credit card. I sincerely hope you’ll re-order when the book is released.

My book! MY ACTUAL BOOK!!!



I’m sorry, I really am writer, I just got excited. This draft took seven years, people. SEVEN YEARS! Full-time work, grad school, three babies - and now, it’s finally done.

I really hope you love it as much as I do.

Find me on Twitter @acwestonwrites and keep an eye out for the book on Amazon, B&N.com, or ask your local indie bookstore to stock it - they’ll be able to order it through Ingram. I’ll be sending out updates via email from now on, which you’ll be able to opt out of if you want.

Thank you all so much for your support. I’m sorry the journey took so long... I think it’ll be worth it.

    Now available on Kindle and Amazon. TTG is an operatic space adventure with conflicted characters and dangerous consequences.
    Joseph Asphahani liked an update for Sister of the Circuit

    Isidore RAM steps into the Font, sweeping the cables connected to her Shroud behind her like a train. She flips a switch, connecting her synapses to the Circuit and sighs one whispered phrase, like a prayer "July 10, 2018." 

    That’s right friends, publishing day has been decided for Sister of the Circuit. Things are finally in motion, and you can find the Amazon preorder page for the book already if you click here. You all have been incredibly patient as I went through this process. Who knew that this little book would grow so much over the course of two years? I’m giddy with happiness knowing we’ll see the book published this year. If you haven’t gotten a copy (or want another one) go ahead and preorder one at Amazon. I’m sure Inkshares would love to know people are anticipating Isidore, Dax, and Clover.

    Thanks for being here with me. We’re almost at the finish line, and we all get to win the race together.

      Joseph Asphahani liked an update for The Seventh Age: Dawn

      It’s been a full 1 year anniversary! So, time for a bloody damn hand-biting update. 



      I’ve finished the first draft of the sequel! Pix Pl0x is 100% done and is going up on Amazon later this week (announcement on that soon) and I need more reviews on the original. 

      If you’ve read the first book - Please go here and leave a review. 

      Click Here!

      In other news, now that I’m done with the 1st draft of book 2. I’m in the market for more awesome art. If you know anyone who wants to do some doodling so I can start building more awesome art like this Death Lords from the 7th Age!

      But please please please - It’s review time guys. 



      You’ll hear more in the coming weeks now that projects are finished and work on production begins in earnest. 

      Thank you for everything in the past year!

        Joseph Asphahani sent an update for The Animal in Man

        I got some numbers for you. 

        Do you know what this means?!?! I FINISHED EDITING MY NOVEL!!! It was quite a slog for me. I’m not one of those writers that can easily overlook the minutiae in order to focus on the bigger picture. My editor gave me some great notes calling for some big sweeping changes and clarifications, but even still, if I saw something on the page that bothered me (and gosh was there a LOT that bothered me), I had to change it. Staring at pages like these was how I spent what little free time I had for the past four months:


        Look at all those revisions!!! Just to be clear, this is not the end of the editing process. It’s back with the Editor / Head of Story at Inkshares, Matt Harry, who’ll look over the changes and make further suggestions. (Hopefully I cleared the higher hurdles the first time around the track and the next lap is easier.) From there, somebody’s gotta clean up my terrible, awful, hideous, redundant word choice… Cover design conversations with the artist… Where is this all going, you ask?! Well, it means it will still be a wait. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a 2018 release, but I can’t say for sure.

        In the meantime, I literally don’t know what to do with myself any more. If I’m not working on something, I’m getting ANTSY. While I wait for the Inkshares wheel to turn another notch in Animal in Man’s production track, I’ll be putting more words down for my next novel “The White Shadow”, which you can read the first few chapters of HERE. (I added a chapter to my website since the previous time posting about it, and I’m eleven chapters beyond that point in the writing.) I might even be putting up an Inkshares draft page for the book soon. Who knows.

        To all of my supporters, all of you who’ve hung in there this long and longer: Thank you.
