Craig A. Munro liked an update for Dax Harrison

All right, Dax fans, LISTEN UP! This is Commander Dax Harrison himself speaking.

What happened to Tony? Well, he’s cooling his jets in the brig as we speak. His crime? Not getting his Inkshares Reader Updates out in a timely fashion. No worries, though. He’s learned his lesson, and he extends his humble apologies for keeping you fine folks waiting for his book.

Speaking of which, when Tony approached me to write my official tell-all story, I thought "Sure! Go ahead! Be sure to make me look good, we’ll slap my face on the cover, and badda-bing! We’ll have it out by next Friday!" What he didn’t tell me was that he was actually going to be writing his first book ever and that it was going to be a bit of a process.

So now I’m here to help convince you fine folks that our mutual friend isn’t some kinda Old West snake oil salesman who rode off out of town with your business. Though, I did find this old photo of him on his Facebook. Judging from the intensity of that mustache, I’m really starting to wonder...

But never mind that now. Impressive facial hair histories aside, I’ve come to tell you that Tony has in fact COMPLETED my story! Yes, the book is written. So what happens now?

Well, if anything is going to have Commander Dax Harrison’s stamp of approval, you better believe it’s going to be my life story. So we’re not quite done yet. Now, Tony will be sending the book out to a select group of trusted beta readers. These folks will review the book for him, and advise him on the stronger parts, the weaker parts, what works, what doesn’t work, what’s great, what’s not so great, what’s downright terrible, and so on. If my story is going to be told, it’s going to be told right!

So hang tight, cadets. This is where the real fun begins. The polish. The spit-shine. Whatever your preference. And I’ll see to it personally that Tony sends you out some regular updates. If he doesn’t, I’ll get some Verdasian moonshine in him, strap him to the hull of my ship and zip around Neptune a couple hundred times.

Yours truly,

(The Legendary) Lt Cdr. Dax Harrison

Craig A. Munro liked an update for Disintegration

Hey, all. We made 400!

Thanks in particular to the generosity of Seamus Scanlon. Check out his book As Close as You’ll Ever Be, published by Cairn Press, which is run by the great Joshua Cochran. Seamus is a playwright and a poet ... and an author well worth getting to know. And so is Josh.

400 means we’ve got 350 orders left to go to reach fully funded status. There are 37 days left in my campaign. That means I need a huge effort on the part of you, and those you know, to chip in and support Disintegration.

I know it’s not the easiest thing to visualize, but Inkshares is just like Kickstarter ... except it’s only for books. Ordering a copy isn’t just ordering a copy, it’s a donation to the success of the project.

As with all donations, the more you can donate, the greater the help. Please consider pushing me further along by encouraging friends and family to contribute ... and yourself, if you’ve got anything else to give.

Speaking of final pushes, J-F. Dubeau’s book A God in the Shed is in its final eight days and he is so close to being fully funded!

He’s made amazing progress in the past few weeks because people have rallied around him, including the amazingly magnanimous writer’s champion John Robin, author of his own staggering work: Blood Dawn. John’s is yet another title deserving of publication, like so many of our works on Inkshares. A few of my other favorite titles are She is the End, Ghosts of War, Single Version, Louisiana Blood, Tears of the Assassin ... and too many to list, here, though I’ll try in subsequent updates.

There are so. Many. Great. Books!

Help J-F. Help John Robin. Help the other authors I’ve mentioned. Help me.

Help fledgling authors get their first works published. Give a damn about creativity. We are the future, but we can’t do it without you.

Craig A. Munro liked an update for How to Get Run Over by a Truck

Dear Sweethearts,

I hope that you are doing well and that you have had a wonderful Wednesday! I have been trying to not overwhelm you all with too many update emails, but I have a few things to tell you!

I have been working on the edits of How to Get Run Over by a Truck, and it has been really incredible. The editors at Girl Friday are so talented, and I cannot wait to share it with you! It will only be a few more months and you will have the book in your hot little hands.

The other more immediate news is that in collaboration with the designers at Girl Friday, we now have a fancy new cover! Do you love it? I LOVE IT! The photo that is on the cover is one that I took while on the Williamsburg Bridge about 4 years ago. I remember the urgency I felt while taking that photo, I needed to capture that moment because I was so blown away by how beautiful the bridge looked. I had walked over that bridge tons of times, but I had never really noticed the street art, and how pathway looked like it went on forever - it made me feel so joyful. It was the perfect reminder that everything in life is better when you remember to look up.

Thank you so much for your support, and I really hope that you like the new cover!

Heart,

Katie

Craig A. Munro liked an update for The Madness of Mr. Butler

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.
