Thomas J. Arnold liked an update for Rune of the Apprentice

Huge shout out to UMBC Comic Con! It was a pleasure to join your passionate community! (You can read the full blog post about the awesome UMBC COMIC CON here!)



UMBC folks this is VERY important:

  • DON'T FORGET TO CLAIM YOUR CREDITS and then use them to order RUNE!

Many of you awesome UMBC folks have not yet claimed your credits via email and picked up your copy of RUNE. I am able to go to conventions like this (and cover booth/travel costs) due to book sales, so please check your email, claim your credits, and then snag your copy of RUNE OF THE APPRENTICE today! Please don't put it off, it helps me a lot, and allows me to continue to meet awesome people like you at other conventions! THANKS!

As I mentioned, these credits also EXPIRE, so don't wait! Your free copy of RUNE is just a few clicks away! Simply go into your email, "claim" your creds, and then order RUNE (here) for free! EZ Mid, EZ Life! (Yes, that is a Dota2 reference, find me on Twitch here!)

P.S. Below are some SNEAK PEEKS of my new cosplay for Halloween:

I will be in NYC figuring out more details about the super top secret new Convention I have been working on, and wanted to up my cosplay game for the meetings. I'm still working on the full set, and when it is done, it will be AWESOME! Stay tuned for more on Facebook! Also, if you want to hang in NYC for Halloween drop me a line @StoneJamison

Thanks again to everyone for all the support, it means the world to me! (Don't forget to spend those credits! And you can tell your friends they can get credits, too! All they have to do is create an account and follow RUNE OF THE APPRENTICE right here on Inkshares!)

    Three outcasts find their only refuge in a world of their imagination. But when another world invades our own, these three friends will be our only hope. A modern day fantasy for young and old alike.

    Nice to see readership growing, thanks for it all. Realize I've been a bit lax with chapters recently so going to upload two now for everyone. Feel free to read/review :)

      Thomas J. Arnold liked an update for She Is the End

      Hm hmm hmm.

      Tra la la.

      What? What's that, you say? Something... happened?

      Hmm. I suppose I should read the latest message from Inkshares CEO Jeremy Thomas...



      AHHHH! CHANGES ARE COMING!!!

      Here's a quick rundown, my dear friends, family, and followers:

      New total pre-order goal: 750 instead of 1,000
      New tier for "light" publishing (light editing, limited marketing and distribution): 250 pre-orders
      New pre-order price: $20 for trade paperback + ebook, $30 for hardcover

      There are some other changes, but you should just read the whole announcement to get a sense of what is to come.

      I've put 14 years of development and 5 years of writing into this manuscript. Alex is a brutal developmental editor (love you, honey!). I'm so confident in this book, and I really think the light publishing track will produce something that I will be proud of... but I still want to shoot for the gold. I want to reach 750 pre-orders. I want to send you all signed first-edition copies of my gorgeous, illustrated book!

      So... onward! If you know of anyone who might want to order my book, tell them to order before Oct 30th at noon to get it at the lower price.

      And thank you, really, you who have already ordered. Thank you.

      NOW, AN UPCOMING EVENT:

      I have acquired a promoter (who is very enthusiastic and also particularly smart and beautiful). Leah has arranged a reading + costume contest + photo booth + scifi trivia event at Mugshots Coffee Company this Friday night!!! Is it crazy for me to suggest you drive to Minneapolis if you're not from here? I DON'T CARE! Come to this event!

      Look at this postcard she made to advertise it:



      And she's been making these graphic thingies that are pretty cool, too:



      And she even made this author quote thing from that rant I went on in an earlier update!!



      Look at all this! Is this what it feels like when people believe in you? This is WEIRD but also COOL and I like it in the sense that I've worked really hard on this book and now people are seeing value in it and talking about it, which is GREAT. But I'm also, you know, hyperventilating with anxiety from all the pressure, hahahahAHAAHAHahahaha. It's all good, don't worry. It doesn't count as bravery if you're not scared.

      Thank you, Leah. You're amazing. And the rest of you are amazing, too!

      I hope to see you Friday...

        Thomas J. Arnold liked an update for The Catcher's Trap

        Hello Friends

        Last week you received an e-mail from Inkshares announcing significant changes in their platform. These changes have various implications; the most important, though, is that pre-order prices go up, but the funding goal goes down to 750. This means that as of October 30th (when these changes will be rolled out) The Catcher’s Trap will have surpassed its new funding goal!

        These are fantastic news. Some great Chilean swears can perfectly portray how happy I feel, but I don’t think they translate well, and it would probably be frowned upon to share them anyways.

        Of course the work doesn’t end here; the work starts here. I have to finish a manuscript that I will feel proud showing to the folks at Inkshares, work with their team to turn this book into reality, convince Ronald D. Moore to read the book, sign a contract with SyFy network, agree to a film adaptation directed by James Cameron and schedule my photoshoot for the cover of Entertainment Weekly. As you can see, lots to do.

        I want to thank each and every one of you who supported me through this campaign. This is a dream come true and I owe it to you: old friends and new friends who decided to give my book a chance.

        If you are reading this, and you have not pre-order yet, please do so. Prices are going up at the end of the week, and you’ll be missing out on owning a first edition of a book destined to be HUGE  (trust me on that one)

        I will continue pushing sales and sharing updates through social media, so find me on twitter @RHfromTheGlen or the book’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/catcherstrap.

         

        Have a great week.
