Time for this week’s spotlight update!
This week I’d like to direct your attention to Proxy, by Rebekka S. Leber:
 

Proxy serves up a complex, thoroughly fleshed-out urban fantasy world with a tone that manages to be both whimsically magical and irreverently sardonic. We’re given a deliciously flawed protagonist, whose superhuman destiny is offset by her extremely human weaknesses. Max Lucas promises to be a new icon in the tradition of hard-bitten reluctant heroines.

If you liked Jessica Jones (and if you didn’t, you must not have seen it yet), Proxy is right down your alley. I can’t wait to see how this train wreck of an antihero chooses to use her powers when she becomes the last hope of a world that’s done nothing for her.

Crawls is chugging along and hopefully more on the way for your perusal. Until then, please stop by and follow my new children’s book (a departure from Crawls I assure you) entitled Come Out of Your Shell. As soon as illustrations are completed I’ll need all the support I can get. Thank you all again for the kind words of encouragement and continuing readership. 

Hello everyone! 

Sorry about the radio silence over here, but I’ve been busy with my revisions. As for that, I am approximately one third of the way through all of my re-writes and revisions for the final draft. I’m still optimistic for an early 2017 publication date. 

In other news, thanks to the services rendered by John Robin -the author of Blood Dawn here on Inkshares- and his team of people, I am pleased to unveil the official cover for Storm of Fury! Thanks for following and reading, and remember, if you know anyone who would like a good fantasy book, direct them to Storm of Fury!

Thanks,

Andrew

Tantalus Depths has just received one of the biggest conceivable honors it could have been given on Inkshares.
I am indescribably honored to announce that Tantalus Depths has been selected as the July pick by the Break the Bechdel with Strong Female Characters Syndicate.
 
I’ve mentioned this before, but it bears mentioning again now: one of the primary reasons why Tantalus Depths was written in the first place was to create a story with a strong female lead. I wanted to do my part to break the gender imbalance in sci-fi media. I wanted to write a female lead that could inspire and impress male and female readers alike. I took great pains throughout the entire writing process to make Mary Ketch feel like a real person, her experiences relatable and accessible.
To be honored by the Bechdel Syndicate is to be assured that I have, at least in part, realized my goal. Truthfully, this moment is almost as important to me as earning my full publication goal. If Tantalus Depths hadn’t been worthy of an honor like this, in my own eyes it wouldn’t be worthy of publication either.
With the support of the Bechdel Syndicate, Tantalus Depths is now ahead of schedule. We’re only 214 pre-orders away from our full publishing goal, and we will not settle for anything less than 100% success.
To the Depths!
