Dear readers,
I was a guest on the WriteBrain podcast! Episode 12 of JF Dubeau and Paul Inman's popular podcast aired yesterday and for the first time they had a guest. I was honored to be their first.
Come and listen here on JF's site, where we talk about writing, publishing, some of the fun we all have as authors on Inkshares, and even ... murder confessions!
And while you're there, be sure to check out JF's work. You can pre-order The Life Engineered on Amazon right now. (Here's a link for that: http://www.amazon.com/The-Life-Engineered-J-F-Dubeau)
JF is also still funding his book, A God in the Shed, so if you're into a story about an ancient trans-dimensional god in your backyard shed, check it out and please show your support!
Happy Hump Day! In the spirit of distraction and fun, I'd like to share a couple of recommendations for other Inkshares projects that are currently funding. This may become a bi-monthly thing (two books, twice a month), provided I remember to continue doing it. ;)
BTW - If you haven't visited the site since ordering Seven Shards, I invite you to log back in and see if you have any free credits on your account. And if you do, I encourage you to spend them!
Onto the recommendations!
First up is Exile, Magus by Thomas J. Arnold. This is a true fantasy book for fantasy lovers. If you're at all intrigued, act fast because its funding window ends in two days!
“First in a series following a dwarven magus entering a world he grew up only hearing of. As he strives to find a place amid countless dangers (and at least one too many gnomes) his naivete in life and love may bring more danger than any foe could.”
&
Women Like Us by Jason Pomerance, a fictional tale of family and food. Be sure to check out the recipes Jason's been sharing towards the bottom of his page!
“A down and dirty chef and her starchy ex-mother-in-law must bond when a crisis threatens a member of the family.”
That's it for January. More recommendations are due to land early next month!
Thanks again to everyone for your continued support! You're amazing, inspiring, and just plain awesome. It's been a pretty crazy week, but I have to say that having the Quill mark behind me has lifted quite a heavy load of stress off my shoulders. And as a result, my creativity is flowing like a river once again!
One of the things I've been toiling with these past few days is a new cover design. At some point I'll need to re-do the cover (with the appropriate font and image rights), so I figured I might as well get a head start now. Here's where I'm at so far:
My plan is to create some sort of symbol or simple illustration in the center. But before I get into that, does anyone have any input to share? Do you like the font and spacing? Have an idea for the symbol/illustration? Do you miss the triangles? Let me know!
Cheers and have a great week!
