Let me thank you for your support. Either financial for those who've pre-ordered a copy of A God in the Shed or moral for those who are just following my antics so far. If you're in the later category, I hope to convince you to pre-order.
Let's start with a gift to those who pre-ordered and incentive for the ones still on the fence: Here are the first three chapters from the current draft of A God in the Shed. These follow the chapter currently on Inkshares (it's more of a prologue really) and to be honest will be re-writen almost entirely. Especially the first part of chapter three which just doesn't work.
I hadn't thought of doing another book campaign on Inkshares for a little while. However, after I handed in my final draft for The Life Engineered, I started looking for my next project. I have a few things planned but they're all long term endeavours. I wanted something that would light the proverbial fire under my butt. When the Nerdist contest was announced I looked at my archive of other projects and found A God in the Shed lying there. Staring up at me from my laptop. I took a look at some of the notes and re-read some of the pages and remembered how much I loved this setting and these characters. This is the first book I sent out to get rejected by publishers. I could probably polish it again and try to get an agent, but I think it can find a good home on Inkshares.
So the plan is to get this thing funded. The contest is just an incidental. This is where I become more demanding than I have any right to be. You already support and follow me friends, but can I be so bold as to ask if you'd also help spread the word? I'll figure out a way to repay you. I swear.
Fifteen year old Tommandros must survive the road where brigands wait to steal his powers—or take his life—in order to reach the Summoner’s trials where he must prove himself worthy of his Calling or lose the legacy he never knew he had.
