Sharyl Friend Pavlisko liked a review for The Phantom Forest

The premise is immediately exciting, and written in such a way that I am sorely disappointed that this book isn't published already. Poetic, moving prose speeds the story along, peppered with gorgeous descriptions so vivid they jump off the page. Well done.

Sharyl Friend Pavlisko liked a review for The Phantom Forest

THE PHANTOM FOREST is an impressive debut from writer Liz Kerin. It is a wholly original, beautifully written fantasy novel that reminded me of A WRINKLE IN TIME with added elements of the YA dystopian craze that has swept through publishing over the last few years. What sets it apart from others in its genre, however, is its deep meditations on life, death, spirituality and what it means to be human. This book deserves to make it out into the world and readers' hands - do whatever you can to read it!

Happy Holidays, readers! Before everyone jets away and shuts down for the next couple days, I’d love to share the beautiful book trailer we’ve just completed for The Phantom Forest. Here’s the link! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxpOzZEoi7U

It’s also available to view on the book’s Inkshares homepage. It’s so exciting to get a cinematic glimpse into the potential of this book for the first time.

I hope you all enjoy and have a wonderful, relaxing holiday! The campaign has just 25 days left to go, so please do continue to spread the word. :)

Have a Happy Merry!

Liz

Dear Richard,

I do hope you keep us here, updated!

I too, have a couple of stories I’d love to share with all of the wonderful readers/writers here, but honestly feel a bit intimidated to do so, and like you, have no idea how to go about promoting my stories to actual novels! Lol!

I’m on this site called Wattpad, so I can at least get feelers out and readers to vote & comment.

Feedback is key, as well as my inspiration!

Us unknown authors do not have the luxury of writing and promoting, editing, etc., full time, so I totally relate to your last update comment.

I’m sad to see you go, but really hope you’ll come back to Inkshares, or at least keep us Followers in the Loop, regarding this and any other work you have!

Good Luck in your writing endeavor!

I wish for you success and prosperity as an upcoming author!

Never stop creating!

Blessed Be,

Sharyl Friend Pavlisko

Hello everyone.

So, some sad news; the campaign for A Day in the Lies of Inari Meiwaku will be finishing soon.

At this point there is no way that this story will reach the publication goal on Inkshares. Those of you who were wonderful enough to pre-order this book should be getting your refunds at the end of the year.

So is this the end of Inari Meiwaku and her adventures?

No.

I am still fully invested in writing this story and plan to explore other methods of publication. First though I’m going to concentrate on finishing the first draft. It’s become clear that I don’t have the energy, time or marketing knowledge to campaign for a book while also writing it at the same time.

So I’m going to write it. Then I’m going to learn how to market it. Then I’m going to find some way to unleash it on the world. Quite possibly through the Amazon Kindle store but we’ll see how we go.

I’m greatful to Geek and Sundry and Inkshares for creating the competition which spurred me on to actually start writing this book. It’s been a blast and I hope that one day other people will have as much fun reading the finished article as I have had writing it.

In the meantime I’ll use my author profile on Inkshares to promote the book and keep people updated on how its going. (Unless the folks at Inkshares object to this). Maybe I will even relaunch on Inkshares if I get enough readership to make it worthwhile.

Most importantly. Thank you everyone for taking an interest in this project, it is the greatest compliment you could ever have paid me.

Bye for now, though not forever.

Richard.

Sharyl Friend Pavlisko liked an update for Dax Harrison

Psst! Hey friend,

Just a reminder that phone cameras are dumb and always make my forehead look like a fivehead.

Also, MERRY CHRISTMAS! And Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Festivus, etc...

Oh, and Life Day. Can’t forget the Wookiees.

7 days left until THE LIST 2016 contest comes to an end. Bought your copy of Dax Harrison yet? Good. Convinced all your friends and family to buy it too? That’d be swell.

Whatever the outcome, let’s hope the new year brings a swift publishing date for Dax and his pals.

Cheers!
Tony V.
