Thomas J. Arnold liked an update for The Otherworld Club

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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      Again, thank you all. Until next update.

        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

              Thomas J. Arnold liked an update for Storm of Fury

              Acolytes, 

              As promised, Chapter Three is available for your enjoyment! (A little late, yes, but I had to tweak it a little.)

              Also, great news! Inkshares is adding an e-book option on November 13th! This option costs 10$ and will give you the e-book only version of Storm of Fury when the book is published. Thankfully, you don't have to hand over 20$ to buy the book anymore. (Unless you want a physical copy.) Anyone who has been considering buying, but not wanting to burn a $20 bill, just wait until Friday! 

              Hope to see you all next week!

                Thomas J. Arnold liked an update for Tale of Boulderoth

                Greetings my Boulderoleros!

                The weather in New York today is perfect for a winter in Boulderoth: cool, rainy, and kinda gross.  Thanks, god of storms.  This week I've been tweaking maps and patching up a few things with the history of the Empire.

                Watching a half dozen documentaries about ancient Athens and Mycenaean shenanigans, as well as a few about Edo period Tokyo helped me develop a more fleshed out city on the barren rocks that were the Grey Crag.  Think Manhattan, but with Greco-Roman archiecture and the tight quarters of Tokyo.  Also, quick change, the Grey Crag is now no longer the refuge of a fleeing elven prince trying to hide a sacred text.  It is now the secret stronghold of a ruthless elven warlord prince who sets up a military outpost on this small cluster of islands and develops a "magical weapon", which he then uses to destroy the islands and most of the people living in the city that has developed around the outpost.  But there is still a book.  Elves love books.  The people who survive the category 11 hurricane and the volcano that rises up from the sea floor and boils most of the people before launching them into space and junk...they wash up on the beaches of Tarkinos and the southern coast.
                 
                From there it's all zombies, kingdom, war, peace, war, empire, civil war, civil war, civil war, barbarian conquest, military revolution, civil war, political upheavals, creedence clearwater revival, and The Blackening bringing us to the home stretch with the Sacred Band (Paladins) and the fall of the Eastern Empire just like always.  Also, I'm toying with the idea of the "elves" being called the "immortals".  They're not really elf-elves, they just have pointy ears and live forever...pretty much.  They're way more like samurai.  I'll get on that.

                Earth, sea, empire.  =)

                  And then there comes the day. The day when the sun shines and you see something beautiful.

                  Here it is. The official front cover of Asteroid Made of Dragons. The entire team at Inkshares and Girl Friday Production and our designer David Drummond really knocked it out of the park. Tom and Veronica from Sword & Laser were also instrumental in guiding the style of this and I can't thank them enough. If it weren't for all these skilled, talented, kind people - the cover would have probably come out looking something more like this:

                  How do I feel?

                  Proud and terrified. This cover is marketable and slick and makes me feel very, very grown up. Also it kind of looks like a Beholder.

                  I wanted you guys to be the first to see - as you're the ones that made it happen. I'll do an 'official' reveal on my site in the next day or so, but for now GAZE DEEPLY INTO THE ABYSS.
