Thomas J. Arnold liked an update for Phantasia

Hey, fellow readers/writers, I've recently written a guest blog post HERE! So, if you'd be so kind as to give it a read, that would be awesome! Thank you! Also, a special thank you goes to Jamison Stone for allowing me to write this small piece for his website!

    Thomas J. Arnold sent an update for Exile, Magus

    Bit later in the day than is typical of me, but its update time.  Unfortunately I'm going to have to make a liar of myself since I did not manage to complete a good version of the Zaltruscas map yet.  Unfortunately while my annual layoff ended Monday means I again have a regular paying job, it also means I have less time to work on other projects.  Editing on Books 2 & 3 are my top creative priority right now, and between that and pitching I have not had the time I would have liked which is why there is no map today.  Sorry about that.

    Beyond that, as you all have already likely heard, there is now the option to order ebook only.  In the case of my book this option is only $10.00.  This change has also further extended the campaign deadline to 1/22/16.

    We've continued to gain followers, to the point where now if every follower who hasn't already ordered were to preorder, then we would only be 21 off the light publishing goal(actually only 18 off thanks to one wonderful super reader).

    That's all I've got for now, hopefully I can successfully use the weekend to get more work done and have a map or two for you all next Tuesday and Friday.  Keep reading, reccommending, and thanks again for all of your time and support.

      Hi everyone! I realize it's been a while since I last contacted you, but life has been a bit busy. For one, I'm planning a wedding! Also, I'm doing another NaNoWriMo book this year, so that's been taking up some time. But at long last, here's an update! Chapter 5 is now up for your perusal.

      Also, I've got a special surprise: Stephen's character sheet, using the D&D 5th edition rules! I hope you enjoy!

        A message specifically for any fellow Inkshares crowdfunders who have followed my project but not pledged for a preorder - please know that I will absolutely and immediately reciprocate should you place a preorder for Feyside. Best, Peter.

          Thomas J. Arnold liked an update for An Unattractive Vampire

          This just in...



          Galleys! I have galleys! And instead of sweaty men with oars, mine have pretty, pretty fonts. I dare you not to fall in love with that chapter title. Dare you.

          Also, adding to last update, I'm currently sitting in a Barnes & Noble with an open window on my laptop where you can buy my book from Barnes and Noble.

          http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/an-unattractive-vampire-jim-mcdoniel/1122232287?ean=9781941758649

          To say I'm excited is an understatment. Again, thank you to everyone who has bought my book so far. None of this would have happened without you and your support.

          Now, I have a few plugs for other books:

          It's the final days of Scott T. Barsotti's Inkshares campaign for his horror thriller Single Version. He's already surpassed the light publishing goal and is very close to his full publishing goal. Put this acclaimed horror writer over the top by ordering your copy today, won't you. And I mean today. 

          https://www.inkshares.com/projects/single-version

          Also, Ken McCoy's Hellrazor campaign will be ending soon. Nazi occultism. Norse gods. Murder. And that's just the first chapter. Head over there and order while you can.

          https://www.inkshares.com/projects/hellrazor

          And if you haven't already spent all your money on books and the return of Mystery Science Theatre 3000,  how about the newcomer Dracula v. Hitler for all your non-Yulric vampire needs. 

          https://www.inkshares.com/projects/dracula-v-hitler

          Again, thank you all. Until next update.

          Jim

            Look what I just finished...



            Now I need to scan it in, order prints, and send them off to my longsuffering coloring contest winners!

            I think prints will be a prize for another thing I'm planning, too.

            Happy Veteran's Day!

              Dear followers! 

              What a time to be alive! 

              You'll soon be able to pre-order ebooks on Inkshares for half the print book price, MST3K is coming back, and John Robin showed us his stupidly handsome face!

              What will happen next???

              Anyway, here's one grainy shot of me reading at the MNSpec 2015 Local Author Showcase hosted by Conrad Zero on Sunday! Video is coming soon, they say. Everyone was very complimentary and encouraging, and I was impressed by the quality of the other readings. 10/10 would do again.



              The coolest part of this event by far was meeting other interesting authors. Notably, Linday Loree, who read from her short story that's part of Twin Cities Speculations: An Anthology of Sci-Fi and Fantasy! She's super cool and awesome and I recommend you check out that anthology.

              I also made friends with two awesome kindred spirits, Erika Hammerschmidt and John C. Riker, authors of Kea's Flight. They are everything I'd want out of a local author scene and MORE.

              Speaking of awesome things from the Twin Cities...

              GUESS WHAT

              TIME FOR A TOUR OF MINNESOTA

              Today's Museday Mix: Tom Wood Edition will float you down a Mississippi River of awesome Minnesota artists. Did I mention my characters spend Episodes IV - IX in Minnesota? Well they do!

              Tom is me if I were single, jobless, bearded, and believed aliens live among us. He is ridiculous.

              Museday Mix: Tom Wood Edition

              Lady You Shot Me - Har Mar Superstar*
              Where Have You Been - The Fattenin' Frogs**
              Only Life I Know - Brother Ali
              Bei Mir Bist Du Schon - The Andrews Sisters
              Junkie - 4onthefloor live at First Ave***
              Times They Are A'Changin' - Bob Dylan cover by Peter Jones
              Purple Rain - Prince
              Closing Time - Semisonic

              You get only 8 songs because Tom doesn't enter into the story until Episode V.

              Finally, here's a serious recommendation:

              Tacos. Eat tacos and pre-order Tacocity: Los Angeles Through the Eyes of a Tacophile by Rob Gokee. Because tacos.


              I have some plans and events coming up, but I'm thinking I'll do a separate "upcoming events" update on Fridays from now on!

              Until then...

                Thomas J. Arnold liked an update for Fall of the Forgotten

                I see some new followers have found me! Hello everyone! I still have not figured out a way to message each of you individually aside from the ever-awkward pitch feature or leaving random notes on your own projects, so the all-encompassing megaphone that is the update feature will have to suffice! Btw, if any of you DOES know how to message followers individually, would you kindly share your knowledge with me?

                Okay! Anyways, Thanks for being interested in my project enough to follow and I sincerely hope to earn your support with my project. I have been trying to get Fall of the Forgotten into print since I published it on Amazon as an ebook. If you're on the fence about pre-ordering a print copy, feel free to download the entire book digitally and scope it out:

                http://www.amazon.com/Fall-Forgotten-Lost-Mythologies-Tamoreh-ebook/dp/B00DI8G2E4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1447264781&sr=8-1&keywords=fall+of+the+forgotten

                Also, I am happy to support any other aspiring authors out there with pre-order trades. Pre-order a copy of mine, and I will pre-order a copy of yours. Thanks again for showing your interest and support!

                Cheers,

                Amanda
