*Crawls out of editing cave, hissing at the light*

I LIVVVVEEEEE!!!!!

Yes, I’m still technically alive. Haven’t fallen in a deep, dark hole or anything like that. I’ve just been a slave to the editing process and, of course, my day job.

But I’ve decided to peek my head up from the abyss to send you all an update.

First and foremost, Beyond the Code news. Editing has been going slower then I’d like but very well. Results from my wonderful beta readers have given me some ideas for rewrites of the story. These changes will give some of the characters actions more of a dramatic punch that I really think you’ll all enjoy.

In other news, I will be taking my first try at pushing my book at a convention. I will be at the Edmonton Expo on Saturday. I will be handing out bookmarks to anyone who will take them to try and get the word of Beyond the Code out. I hope to see any of you there.

I also want to take this opportunity to talk about Evan Graham’s book Tantalus Depths. It’s a really well thought out world that deserves full funding and it is very close. Please, if you have not already, take the time to check it out and consider backing this great project.

Thank you all for continuing to support this my dream and I hope I can give you a fully realised product sooner, rather then later.

Regina McMenomy, Ph.D. liked an update for Rune of the Apprentice

Masters and Apprentices,

With October just around the corner... the November 1st Rune of the Apprentice launch date is nearly here! Yay!

The next few months will be a crazy Runic blur of conventions, signings, and events! So exciting! My wife Becca and I just got back from Annapolis Comic Con and had a blast! You can watch an interview I did with Landon of Reaper Legion Network below! (Reaper Legion is awesome, for those who love sick beats with a powerful message, I highly suggest you check out Landon’s very successful rap--it’s a wild mix of social justice and geek culture. So freaking cool! The interview he did with me is on their brand new YouTube Channel dedicated to science, technology, geekdom, and education. Love it!)

In other news, Rune is off to the printers! Yay! Not only does this mean that you all are one step closer to getting your copies, but that also means that I was able to upload the final version of the Rune’s Prologue here on Inkshares!

As always, Becca and I want to give a HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported us on this wild Runic adventure! Best part is that the awesomeness has only just begun! The next few months will be crazy--and this is only Book 1! We have signings across the country and events galore and want you all to join us! Once everything is finalized I will be making Facebook events so all interested can come, get some free swag, and join in on the Runic epicness!

Next convention will be the 2016 National Book Festival at the Library of Congress, here in DC! I’m super excited! After that it’s New York Comic-Con! I’ve got a lot planned for NYCC, so stay tuned! Will be a fun time filled with epic Cosplay!

Oh, yeah, and as seen below, even Spider-Man picked up a copy of Rune! So, make like Spidey and swing by Amazon to snag that 25% pre-order discount! It won’t last long and with a Nov. 1 release, Rune makes the perfect holiday gift!

Lastly, I will end with a new and recurring segment called "Praise for Rune of the Apprentice" where I will highlight a review/blurb posted online. This one is from D. L. Wainright, author of The Hollow Sun and Fractured Masks who I met at Balticon. She loved Rune and is a really great author, too! Enjoy and hopefully see many more of you in person, soon!

"Stone is a masterful world-builder, and I felt like I was truly stepping onto Terra from the moment I started reading. There is a depth and complexity to the world and characters that breathes life into the narrative itself. Reading Rune of the Apprentice was a fun and magical adventure that left me thinking about the world and its characters long after I put the book down." ―D. L. Wainright, author of The Hollow Sun and Fractured Masks

Regina McMenomy, Ph.D. liked an update for Thrum

Hey everybody,

Just did a little ready-through of the newest bit of the draft. There’s a lot of stuff there that’s decent! And there’s a lot of rickety bits that aren’t complely coherent just yet, but I tied off the obvious ones as best I could, and it’s time to move on.

I counted the songs in the book earlier. In the first 116 pages, there are 20 songs. 20! That’s probably not Tolkien level, but it’s a fair number for the likes of me. Of course, it’s a lot easier to put lots of songs in if you only put in a verse or two, but NEVER MIND THAT, TWENTY SONGS I TELL YOU.

The next chapter you’ll read is called The Clatter-Wheel. It’s about 2500 words long, which means I’m committed to pumping out 5000 before I upload it. I want to get that done by Sunday. We’ll see how that goes. Could be a high bar! We’ll See!

I’ve often wondered how an author would end up with one of those six hundred page tomes that certain authors manage, but I guess now I’m starting to see how that comes about. The characters keep doing things, and then they need to deal with the consequences of those actions, and then it’s ten thousand words later and they’re still in the well how did this even happen?

Maybe that’s what an editor is for, WHO KNOWS?

In the meantime, I’d like to invite you to read some of my other fiction, which is science fiction and not at all in the same vein as Thrum, so it will definitely delight those of you who came strictly for the musical fantasy!

http://michaelgburton.com/tag/short-story/

There are a bunch of shorts there, none of the really tied together at the moment. There are also a few snippets of Thrum, though I think even the ones I’ve uploaded here have by now transformed quite a bit.

Nonetheless, I’d like to invite you to visit. You seem like a nice person!

Hope you’re well,
mgb
