31 Orders, Space Crew. 

That’s all that’s separating us from publication. Every single order counts. 

I need your help to keep our momentum going. Because I don’t want to stop at 250. I want to go all the way to fully funded, and for that we’re running out of time.

If you’re following this project but haven’t yet grabbed a copy of your own, now is the time. 

If you ordered the e-book and are now considering a physical (signed) copy, that gets us closer too. 

If you haven’t yet recommended the book to your friends, you can use the Inkshares recommendation links and earn credit at the same time. 

All of these activities also mean prizes! (info here)

So please, keep that support coming. I’ve already started on the theme song. 

Your Sophisticated and Sensational Space Captain,
-AC

Well, here we go!

THE EBOOK IS LIVE AND READY FOR YOUR DOWNLOAD! Just login to Inkshares, click your profile pic in the right corner, go to your bookshelf and DOWNLOAD!

Also, the physical copies of the book are at the warehouse and begin shipping ASAP! By the end of the week (roughly) you should have your copy of AGELESS in your hand, just like the one below!

When you get it, TAG IT and yourself on ALL social media with the hashtags #AgelessByPaulInman, #scifibooks, and tag me @paulinmansc on Twitter and Instagram!

REVIEWS ARE THE LIFE BLOOD OF BOOKS - read the story then keep Ageless alive (heh, puns) by posting a short written review on the following platforms:

GOODREADS PAGE - NOW OPEN and we are 4.75 out 5 stars!

AMAZON PAGE - Not open yet, but it will open SOON (around Pub date, May 3rd). Just copy your Goodreads review to the Amazon page when it’s live.

I’m shooting for at least 60 positive reviews on these platforms, which is VERY doable! Just talk about why you liked it...or I’ll make it easy for you - just copy and paste -

I loved the book! Pick up a copy!

(IF you feel like the story wasn’t up to your standards please contact me HERE in lieu of a poor review, and tell me how I can grow as a writer for my next project. It would benefit me more to have an open conversation with you than a poor review)

Don’t forget, WE HAVE A VENUE FOR THE LAUNCH PARTY! I’ve partnered up with a local comic book shop called Coastal Comics! Saturday, MAY 7, 12-2pm. Come and hang out with me! Get your copy of Ageless signed and maybe hear a reading and MAYBE get some free swag...(again, who is paying for that?) Also, pick up a free comic book while you’re there for Free Comic Book Day!

Last, but certainly not least, this entire experience is possible because of YOU. I couldn’t have made it this far without your support. Thank you will never be enough.

Hi all-as you may have noticed Daughter of the Mara has gone back into draft mode following the end of its funding cycle yesterday. However this is not the end of the road for Jay’s story. I am currently working on yet another edit with plans to self-publish sometime in late May/early June. Once I have a more firm timeline on that I will send an update her and will also update my Facebook fan page (please check it out if you haven’t already). Once again thank you all so much for your support-it warms my heart to know that this story about a girl with waking nightmares appeals to people other than me :)

Dear friends,

We are now three weeks into the pre-sale campaign, and just today we hit 126 orders: that’s halfway to Quill funding, and 17% to full funding. That’s pretty terrific, and it’s all thanks to you.

(If you haven’t pre-ordered already, I hope you’re making plans to do so, or at least trying to convince that one cantankerous mystery-reading friend or relative that they really want this book.)

So! Let’s talk about some of the other books funding on Inkshares!

1) JF Dubeau’s "A God in the Shed" is getting close to the end of its campaign, and I’m really hoping it makes its full funding goal. It’s Lovecraft meets Twin Peaks in rural Quebec. How can you not love it?

2) AC Baldwin’s "The Traveller’s Cup" is short of Quill by just >;;;;;;;;this

3) I’ve been poking around, and I’ve unearthed a couple of interesting finds. First: "Thunder in Marrow" by Rue Lazzaro. It’s a Weird West Fantasy. Some of you may have enjoyed the Deadlands tabletop RPG, and this is much the same in the same vein. Also, there are orcs; and from what I’ve seen of the opening chapter, there might also be some interesting society-observation shenanigans happening there. Apparently, the plot concerns dead people showing up to vote in the town elections. I know. I’m intrigued, too.

4) Second: "Ragno - A Novel" by Alessandro Renesis. This is billed as a romance, and, perhaps unusually, it’s told from the male point of view. Our hero is an ordinary guy, and he finds himself in an affair with a supermodel. I know, it’s probably every straight guy’s fantasy; but I get the impression that the story starts with the affair and explores the reality of the aftermath. I wonder if the fantasy will prove to be so perfect the morning after, and it would be interesting to find out.

Until next week, dear friends; keep reading, and have fun.

ONE GOAL DOWN!!  THANK YOU

So we JUST hit the quill goal which means the book will be published it will get an ISBN and it will be real honest book!

You all are the best. I’m so excited to get this story into people’s hands and I can’t thank you enough.

ONWARD to the full goal!

So we’re a third of the way to the full publishing goal. If we get 750 pre-orders we not only get published but get a full edit and polish, professional type people sweating over the cover art and armies of marketing people planning spectacular things including author events, bookstore placement and more!

So if you can, please spread the word. In fact, mathematically speaking, if each of you convince two other people to preorder, we would be guaranteed to get the full publishing goal. It’s science!

In celebration of hitting this first goal I’m adding a new sample chapter for you to take a look at. I hope you enjoy!

Tom
