James Rasile liked an update for A God in the Shed

I won’t take much of your time. Just felt like celebrating with the people most responsible for this (after the staff from Inkshares) :

Let’s keep on trucking guys and gals and creatures from beyond the veil. Today, just today, I feel like there’s nothing that can stop us.

    James Rasile liked an update for The Battle Within

    Good evening,

    Ever wanted to appear in a book? Now’s your chance.

     As of right now, the next person to pre-order 5 copies of The Battle Within will get mentioned as a character in the actual book (although the book is finished, there’s a few perks to being the author!) In other words, $100 will get you immortalized in print - just saying. Once the lucky person pre-orders, I’ll confirm the details with them (ie character name) via e-mail. One caveat - if your name unfortunately happens to be Boaty McBoatface (http://ind.pn/1T3cyTY), I’ll be exercising my editorial powers. Sorry, but not sure that would fit into a novel about PTSD.

     Looking forward to seeing who wins and thanks for your support!

    Alastair

      Trekonomics review in Publishers’ Weekly

      Dear friends and backers of Trekonomics,

      I am delighted to let you know that the first reviews are in. In particular, here is a nice one from Publishers’ Weekly (read in full here: http://publishersweekly.com/978-1-9417-5875-5). And this is the screenshot for your convenience.

      We will be announcing a series of events shortly!

      In the meantime, as usual,

      Live long, and prosper!

        Very quick update, my lovelies:

        I got to interview Jeremy Thomas, the CEO here at Inkshares, and you can read it here:

        http://renderositymagazine.com/writing-wednesdays-with-michael-haase-interview-with-jeremy-thomas-ceo-of-inkshares-com-cms-487

        It was quite kind and generous of him to lend his time to me for the interview. Be sure to read it, you’ll learn a thing or two about Inkshares!

        Also, I apologize for any delay in responding to any of you. Writing and everything else has kept me quite busy. I am currently revamping my schedule to be more regular, and I will get back to you soon, my friends. Lots of movin’ and shakin’ going on over here!

        In the meantime, go browse through the books on here and support some amazing authors! 

        And definitely check out the Geek & Sundry Hard Science contest, because I know from personal experience that every author involved is in a state of high stress, and a purchase from you could literally make their day.

        Have a great day everybody.

        -Michael.

          James Rasile liked an update for A God in the Shed

           Hello dear supporters!

          I wish I had a more clever name for you guys. Something from the book. I could use ’Watchers’ as I’m using with levels of support but I’m planning on changing that name in the manuscript. It’s too obvious and on the nose, but I’m getting off topic before I even get started.

          Good news! We’re above 600 pre-orders! In fact, as of this writing we are at 616. We have less than 140 pre-orders to get which feels almost attainable. The bad news is we have less than ten days to do so.

          Good news redux! A lot of my writing buddies here on Inkshares have banded together to help me out and they’re doing an amazing job of it. Christopher Huang, Andre Brun and John Robin have been spearheading herculean efforts to help me get to the 750 pre-order goal and it’s been incredible. Please click on their name and check out their books. Each is doing something different and beautiful.

          Now, I know a lot of you are still on the fence about pre-ordering or are just hanging out because of whatever reason and I totally respect that, but let me try to get you to support A God in the Shed by reminding you of the incentives. This is what you get if you pre-order this book: 

          1. Each pre-order enters you into the ‘I want to kill a reader’ raffle. The winner will have his name and likeness used in the book as a minor character that gets killed off. The author will work with the winner to find the appropriate means of demise to satisfy both the winner and the story. 
          2. Each physical copy of A God in the Shed will be signed and numbered as an exclusive first edition item. 
          3. Free, exclusive A God in the Shed bookmarks will be included with the physical copies and mailed to eBook supporters. 
          4. Orders of three or more copies guarantees your name to appear in the Patrons list printed at the end of the book. 
          5. You get to enjoy the satisfaction and pride at having supported both art and literature.
          Finally, I want to point out that this book is a bit of a proof of concept. I don’t know that many authors have been able to double-dip in the Inkshares pool yet. I want to show that a writer can fund more than one work of literature on the site. That this can be a viable platform for repeat use. This is important because it can demonstrate that Inkshares is a marketplace for books in development. I want readers to shop on Inkshares and encourage books, not just writers.

          So pre-order your copy or get someone you know to pre-order a copy. Aside from the (cool) gimmicks above, you’re helping literature break free of the bonds of traditional publishing in a way that self-publishing still hasn’t achieved.

          Thank you,
          JF

            James Rasile liked an update for The Decaying Destiny of Rob the Zombie

            To my zombie horde: I’ve decided to raffle off $25 Amazon gift card every time the preorders hit the 25 increments! All that have ordered their copy WILL be included in the first drawing and as an added incentive, any people that you do refer and they do purchase my book WILL grant you extra entries in subsequent drawings during my campaign, just have your referrals direct message me and to drop your name so you can get the bonus drawing. Your referral bonus will garner you the same amount of entries as your friends. For example, if someone your refer orders theSuper Horde (Super Reader) which is worth 5 entries, then you will get 5 entries too!


            Other ways to garner extra chances:
            Depending on which level of purchase you will determine how many entries you can get and the system is as follows:

            Zombies (E-book) = 1 entry!
            Brain-Eaters (Paperback) = 2 entries!
            Super Horde (Super Reader) = 5 entries!

            I’m asking that you share this with your friends and other followers so that they may help me as I progress in Rob the Zombie’s story. I truly want to get this story published because Rob keeps threatening me that if I don’t get more orders, I’m next on his menu! I kinda love my brain and wish to keep it! Enjoy!

              James Rasile liked an update for Mission 51

              Hello everyone! Hope your week is going smoothly, and that you’re reading and writing away!

              I’m working on yet another pivotal chapter, this one called "Roswell Revisited." I have it mostly outlined now, so I just need to fill in the blanks. Some of the coolness includes Dr. Linda Deltare’s first look at the dead alien and his spaceship in Roswell, AND... her very first glimpse of her assignment, Mat!

              Peace, y’all!
              Ferd.  :-)
