Greetings supporters and fans.
One week left. That’s it. At 1200 PST on 16 May 2016, the Geek and Sundry Hard Science
Contest will end and the top three books will be published. As of the writing of this post, After Man is in second place. Additionally, After Man just sold its 200th copy late last night, placing it less than fifty copies from the Quill publication option. The authors have indicated that this is a good goal to start out, but he intends on pushing After Man to the full publication contract, either through the aforementioned contest or through selling 750 copies.
The authors also highly recommend the other books currently competing in the competition, including Pocket Escrow by Tal Klein, The Pirates of Montana by Erin S. Evan, and We Clocked the T-Rex by Ronald Valle, as well as many more. Go peruse and find many other books that deserve publication. Invite your friends to Inkshares. Grow this community. There are plenty of readers out there to make this a strong, viable, long-lasting community where readers choose what gets published instead of a small team of jaded editors.
As promised, the authors have unearthed a news article regarding some of the characters in After Man.
Nancy Portman Named Director Rockefeller Center for Genetics and Fertility
New York City, 9 May 2584: The Board of the Council for Rockefeller Center for Genetics and Fertility (RCGF) is very pleased to announce the appointment of the Genetic division’s department chair, Nancy Portman as its new Director.
Nancy Portman has a high-level understanding and experience in the genetics and research sector. Her career, while a short one, includes working as the vice-director of both divisions of the RCGF as well as an internship in Washington City’s Center of Genetic Development and Research. Since returning to New York from Washington City in 2581 Dr. Portman took a position at the RCGF as a geneticist and quickly rose to the directorship of that division while at the same time completing her Ph.D.
As Director, Dr. Portman is looking forward to not only working with the highly skilled RCGF staff, but also with the larger community of genetics and fertility clinics worldwide.
Dr. Portman will start in the new position on the 1st of June.
The RCGF Board also acknowledges the outstanding work and commitment by Dr. Rebecca Adler who, as department director of the Fertility division of the RCGF for the past year after arriving herself in 2581 after her own internship in Washington City, had been the other finalist the board considered for the position of Director. Dr. Adler was unavailable for comment, however the RCGF’s publicity department released a statement from her congratulating her longtime friend and counterpart on her selection.
