Extremely brief update:

Wow, we’re climbing towards 100 followers! Soon as I hit 100, I shall release a chapter (though some of you, the ones who click that recommend button, will get that chapter earlier *hint hint*).

And about that chapter. Um, well, writing this has been the most unconventional project I’ve done. Ever. The world of 2120 is just so big, and I keep stopping to figure out a bunch of HOW’s and WHY’s. It’s tedious, but with each venture into various future things, this story keeps coming into clearer and clearer focus.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and an easy Monday!  Not much to update today...The Army of the Man is still coming along nicely.  But I found this picture and had to share :).  

One tiny request though...PREORDER!!  Please please please!  It would mean the world to me to put this book in the top three of the Geek and Sundry Hard Science Contest, and I need your help to make it happen.  Preorder, recommend, send a friend over to check it out...all would be so appreciated!

PEOPLE ARE GETTING THEIR BOOKS!!

Take a pick of the book and tag me on Twitter (@PaulInmanSC) Instagram (PaulInmanSC) or Facebook with the hashtag #AgelessByPaulInman and hashtag #scifi

DON’T FORGET TO REVIEW! It keeps the book alive and gives it more visibility!

AMAZON REVIEWS ARE OPEN! Please leave a starred and written review of the book as you finish! I am shooting for 50-60 reviews on or before publication date of May 3rd.WE GOT THIS! The more reviews the better the viability for the book!

Goodreads is also open for reviews! Just copy and paste the review from Amazon; I won’t tell. Pinky swear.

REMINDER:

I do a podcast with JF Dubeau called WriteBrain. It’s about Inkshares and crowdfunded writing and publishing. Check out this article on Examiner.com we did talking about the podcast! Also go and nominate us (url:www.jfdubeau.com/writebrain/)  for the Podcast Awards(People’s Choice and Arts categories, and nominate up to 20 other of your favorites podcasts)!

Oh, if you ordered A God In The Shed, thanks! There are only 5 more copies needed. Click the link and go buy it!

The update in which I ask you to buy other people’s stuff...

Hi everyone!  No shameless self-promotion this update.  Instead, I want to point out to you a few projects that I would like you to take a look at.

First and foremost, JF Dubeau’s second novel on Inkshares, A God in the Shed, is nearing the end of its campaign.  He has 4 days left to sell 14 copies.  I read his first novel, The Life Engineered, and gave it a rousing 5 stars.  This guy can write.  If you’ve got some extra scratch laying around, please toss it his way to get this book published.  You won’t regret it.

Second, Amanda Orneck, who I still owe at least one firstborn (if not two), for helping me with my interim cover during the Nerdist Contest, has a novel funding as well, called Deus Hex Machina.    It’s a Shadowrun-esque world, and the first bits I’ve read are great.  I’ve also read her first novel, Shadow of the Owl, which I really enjoyed (as has everyone I know who has read it...the ebook is only 99 cents at amazon - check it out).  DHM’s got a bit more left in her funding period, but she still needs people to commit to her project.  Take a look.

Lastly, something that came across my Twitter feed is a Kickstarter unrelated to Inkshares.  You may remember my championing Sadie McGrady back in the fall - empowering little girl-people is pretty important.  Kazoo Magazine is in its last week or so of funding, and still needs a whole herd of people to get on board.  It’s targeted at girls ages 5-10, so if you’ve got one or more of those in your life, take a look.

Thanks for reading.  I promise to self-promote much more in my next update!

Cheers
Dave

Here we are almost two weeks ahead of schedule and my re-writes and fixes for The Bones of the Past are finished! Not only that, but after struggling with my acknowledgements, I have finished all the associated paperwork and writing Inkshares and Girl Friday Productions need to get the ball rolling on their end. All of this means I should have a schedule for edits and even a tentative publication date sometime in the next few weeks!

I had also been toying with the idea of including a map but hadn’t managed to find an artist that felt like the right fit for my book. Little did I know he was in front of me the whole time. My amazing map was drawn by non-other than John Robin, the author of Blood Dawn (if you haven’t pre-ordered his book yet you can and should do that HERE!). The hand-drawn style perfectly fits with the flavor of my world. I hope you like it!

Thank you all once again!
