Nicole Bruno Cox liked an update for The Children of the Forest

Yes, I’m still alive (though you wouldn’t know it from my lack posts recently) and working hard on finishing up the novel so that it can be submitted for final edits. It’s a long process, and time-consuming, so I haven’t had many opportunities to post here. 

Looking ahead, I’ll be doing some update work to the main page for "CotF" - which includes adding additional artwork, along with updated versions of the entire first act of the novel (15 chapters, fully edited and finalized). This should serve as a healthy preview of the final book, giving readers an entire arc to work their way through as the novel prepares for wide-distribution. 

I’m also scheduling my first con appearances, so be on the lookout for videos and promotional-material I’ll be posting in the upcoming weeks. That’s pretty much it for now - I’m hoping to have the updated samples and everything else up by the end of next week, though things can always change. 

P.S. 

I do have one treat for everyone, although it’s still only a WIP, I think the quality (by the lovely Ellie Yong) speaks for itself. Taken from Fionna Cohmwell’s encounter with the Spirit of the Forest, from about half-way through the book. 

Enjoy ~

    Nicole Bruno Cox liked a review for Tracing the Synapse
    Tracing the Synapse is a vivid world with beautiful imagery and a fantastic story. It is always a pleasure to discover new worlds and this one is no exception. One of the stronger aspects is how much history is apparent within the pages, and I cannot imagine this work not reaching its publishing goal.

      Nicole Bruno Cox liked an update for It’s All Fun and Games

      Hey everyone!

      So last week I teased you about some other exciting piece of information.  Well here it is:

      We’ve sold the audiobook rights to Audible!  So in addition to ebook and paperback, we’ll be able to follow Allison and her friends’ journey while driving, walking the dog, or doing whatever else it is that people do when listening to ebooks.

      Before you ask, I have no idea who’s doing to be performing it.  Audible takes care of all of that.  I just smile, wave, and wait to see what happens.

      Thanks again for all your support.  Just a month from this Saturday is ebook day!  Perfect July 4 back yard reading!

      Cheers
      Dave

        Nicole Bruno Cox liked an update for Anthills

        So I’ve officially started writing a really rough draft for Anthills. It’s definitely fun and interesting to write and will hopefully be just as fun and interesting to read. Just think of this as Walking Dead meets Hunger Games meets Gundam. Yeah, I know it sounds crazy just stick with me and I promise you won’t be disappointed. I should have something decent up by this time next week. Probably sooner.

          Nicole Bruno Cox liked an update for SideScroller

          Hello, Inkshare homies!

          Just wanted to extend a HUGE thanks to all of you for your support thus far! The video game contest is chugging along nicely and I couldn’t have done it without your help!

          Also, today is June 8th...it’s my BIRTHDAY!!! I’m 29 years young. To be honest, I miss 28. 28 is a nice, round, sexy number, with lots of swirls and curls. 29 is different and jarring; it feels like I’m in the middle of a gunfight and I’m down to one last bullet, with a giant 3-0 looming ominously on the horizon, waiting for me to empty my clip so it can swallow me whole! But regardless, YOU can help make my birthday fantastic my spreading the word about SideScroller to anyone you know who loves reading or video games or reading things ABOUT video games.

          Thanks again for your support, everybody, and I’ve got more SideScroller surprises coming soon!

          Cheers,

          Andrew Fantasia

            Nicole Bruno Cox liked a review for Orion: When The Galaxy Folds
            By blending the author's voice with that of the protagonist, Orion: When the Galaxy Falls brings the reader into the world by directly addressing them. Also, by informing us the situation is life or death, we need to know what is happening with his situation. Creating this dichotomy between the seriousness of his situation with his story because he feels like sharing, is effective at bringing the world to life.

              Dear Sweethearts,

              I hope that you are doing well and that your Wednesday is off to a fantastic start! It is a perfect Spring morning here in Brooklyn, all bright blue skies and sparkling sunshine - absolutely perfect! 

              I have a few really exciting things to share with you today. First of all, the final edits of the manuscript are in! Which is absolutely thrilling, and a little terrifying. I cannot wait to share this book with you all, and to hear what you think of it. 

              Recently I had the pleasure of writing a short essay/article for the website Read It Forward called Writing as a Means of Survival. In the essay I spoke about how writing this memoir wasn’t just something I wanted to do, it was something I needed to do.  It was integral to my survival and to my healing. If you’ve ever wondered how or why I began writing this book, this article will absolutely give you some insights! After you’ve read it, please feel free to comment, or ask any questions. I’d love to hear your thoughts!

              Also, I just created a How to Get Run Over by a Truck Facebook page, which you can find here. I’ll be posting updates on events, articles, quotes, pictures - it’ll be awesome, I promise! 

              Thanks so much for taking the time to read this update, and thank you again for being a supporter of this book. There have been so many beautiful and amazing things that have happened over these past few months, and I know that it is because of you and your belief in this memoir.  I am so grateful to you, and for you! 

              Heart, 

              Katie

                Nicole Bruno Cox liked an update for The Battle Within

                Hello everybody,

                Just wanted to follow up on the e-mail you should have received earlier from Inkshares letting you know that The Battle Within has reached its funding goal. I’m still a little in shock that this has actually happened, so I’ll try not to go on a long rambling note, but I wanted to get in touch with everyone who’s supported this project as soon as possible to say thanks.

                This dream couldn’t have happened without all of you. Many of you will know my personal background that lead me to this point in my life, but for those who don’t, let’s just say that for me, it definitely embodies Frost’s ’road less traveled.’ Thanks to all of you, that road has become a bit less daunting and I am humbled at the support. From here on out, my focus will be on working with Inkshares to make sure you get the best story I can possibly deliver - I hope you’ll enjoy it.

                Very Respectfully,

                Alastair Luft

                The Road Not Taken, by Robert Frost

                Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
                And sorry I could not travel both
                And be one traveler, long I stood
                And looked down one as far as I could
                To where it bent in the undergrowth;

                Then took the other, as just as fair,
                And having perhaps the better claim,
                Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
                Though as for that the passing there
                Had worn them really about the same,

                And both that morning equally lay
                In leaves no step had trodden black.
                Oh, I kept the first for another day!
                Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
                I doubted if I should ever come back.

                I shall be telling this with a sigh
                Somewhere ages and ages hence:
                Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
                I took the one less traveled by,
                And that has made all the difference.
