Amanda Orneck liked an update for Storm of Fury

Acolytes,

Happy Thanksgiving! 

A quick update today; firstly we are only four copies away from the halfway point to Quill! With over 50 days left, I'm excited for what is to come.

Secondly, for those of you who prefer audio books to traditional reading, I am pleased to announce that the first chapter of Storm of Fury is available! Performed by the amazing talents of my father, Jonathan Wood, the audio chapter can be found in a link on my page. So grab your friends who like audio books and get them to listen!


Have a great Thanksgiving, and thanks for you support!

    Short Turkey-Day update!

    I'll be posting two new chapters sometime this weekend, so look for those soon! The contest continues in earnest, and we've had some great support, and I'd like to thank everyone that's been pushing my story and getting the word out there about The Children of the Forest!

    I'll be seeking an extension from Inkshares, and I plan on pushing hard to add extra rewards or incentives for everyone who has currently backed the story of Fionna and Rew! 

    Have a great holiday everyone!

      Amanda Orneck liked an update for Blue Water

      Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

      I'm thankful for all of your support, because as of a couple minutes ago, we officially hit our goal of 100 pre-orders!  So, as promised, I have now uploaded "Chapter 4: fiat voluntus tua" to the BLUE WATER Inkshares site.  I hope you enjoy the trip as we go further and further down the rabbit hole into Emily Hunter's mind.

      So now, we have made 40% of our light publish goal of 250 orders.  We have 20 days left.  So if we make 50% (or 25 more preorders) I'm letting "Chapter 5: causa latet, vis est notissima" fly.  So spread the word, toss out some recommends, and get your friends to pre-order.  Together, we can discover the mystery behind BLUE WATER.

      All my best, and thank you again,

      Joseph

        HEY.

        GUESS WHAT.


        Get ready for the inaugural Inkshares Review-a-Thon!

        On December 19th, all authors and readers are invited to leave reviews on currently funding Inkshares books using the Inkshares "leave a review" option.

        Throughout the day we'll be hanging out on Twitter in the #InksharesReviews tag as we share our favorite book projects, answer author Q&As, debate the merits of astronauts with swords versus cavemen with lasers, and more!

        Then, from 6 - 8pm ET, JF Dubeau and Paul Inman of the WriteBrain Podcast will be hosting a video livestream filled with author interviews, review readings, and live announcements of prize winners!

        Prizes?!?!

        Everyone who leaves a review on December 19th by 6pm ET will be eligible to win one of our fantastic general prizes:

        • Sword & Laser Contest Winners Package - print copies of the six winning books from the Sword & Laser Inkshares contest!
        • Nerdist Contest Winners Package - print copies of the five winning books from the Nerdist Inkshares contest!
        • An immediate pre-order of the book of their choice for five winners!
        • $30 in Inkshares credits!


        Readers: Peruse the "currently funding" books on Inkshares and leave as many reviews as you want on Dec 19th. You could even start up a "must-have" list of books to order in case you win a free pre-order or the $30 in credits!

        Authors: Join our review exchange to leave three reviews in exchange for two guaranteed reviews on your Inkshares project and a chance at author-exclusive prizes! Email me at cara.c.weston@gmail.com to learn more and get on the list.

        (And authors, if you're in, please copy the message above and include it in your next update!)

        It's gonna be fun.

          Amanda Orneck liked an update for Dax Harrison

          Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

          I'm saying it today since I'll be busy tomorrow, and the first of multiple family events I'm supposed to attend actually begins tonight! ...And if you don't celebrate it in your neck of the woods, then I hope you're having a great week in general.

          BUT FIRST! I want to say I am sincerely thankful for all the support I have received on this project. Not just from family and friends, but also complete strangers. I have a few orders coming from Australia. AUSTRALIA! Which happens to be on my bucket list of places to travel. Who knows? Maybe one day I can thank a Dax fan in person out there!

          In the past few days I've been laying low with Dax and instead spending every spare minute working to give back to the Inkshares author community. My time is limited due to the day job and other obligations, but when I can, I've been sounding off on social media for my fellow authors' campaigns-in-progress. I'm sure plenty of folks on Twitter are sick of me, but if you feel like following my madness, I'm @rockhollywood8. :)

          Again, thank you thank you THANK YOU to all my friends, family, complete and total strangers, and new Inkshares pals. You're the best.

          So, reality check: As of today, the book is sitting at 149 pre-orders. As far as I'm concerned, that's an amazing feat! But there's still a ways to go. 101 more orders. 32 days left. That's a little over 3 orders a day, which doesn't seem like much, but momentum is, as it has been with most of this campaign, at a crawl.

          It would most certainly be a photo-finish if we make it in time for the deadline. But don't fret, gang. First and foremost, this is not a premature declaration of defeat. I plan to give this campaign everything I got until the possibly bitter end.


          Remember that Simpsons episode when Homer's roasted pig is rolling away on a runaway grill? And he chases after it through some bushes yelling, "It's just a little dirty! It's still good! It's still good!"

          ...And then it falls into a river and he says, "It's just a little slimy! It's still good! It's still good!"

          ...And then it gets launched into the air like a cannonball and he says, "It's just a little airborne! It's still good! It's still good!" And only then does he finally accept it.

          That will be me, if necessary, in the final hours. Still fighting the good fight. "It's still good! It's still good!" Hahaha (Click here to watch that clip!)

          And furthermore, should this particular campaign not meet it's goal, I will refuse to consider it a failure. Why? I got the word out on Dax, gained a small but excited following, and discovered an awesome community of authors eager to help each other out. For all of these things, I am thankful.

          Plan B goes into effect the second the campaign ends with 249 pre-orders or less. I will keep everyone informed on my progress, posting more content for you to review/critique/get excited over. And when the time comes, hopefully just a few short months down the road, I will let you know where you can re-order your copy of Dax, most likely on Amazon's ebook and print-on-demand services, as was my original plan before discovering Inkshares.

          But enough of that! The 12th round ain't over yet!


          Talk to you soon, guys!
          -Tony
