Romero Russo liked an update for The Life Engineered

Good day dear sentients!

The production of 'The Life Engineered' has been an interesting learning experience. It feels like I'm always handing in a revised draft or some fresh edits on something. For a book that was finished on the day it funded, there's a lot of work that needs to be done. Thursday I'm supposed to give in the final, approved, copy edited version of the draft. The 'i's have been dotted and the 't's have been crossed. This machine is assembled and ready to perform.

Except it isn't.

Because I want this to be as complete and as compelling a reading experience as possible and because I want you to be on the hook for my future projects, I'm including an entire new chapter in 'The Life Engineered'. This will, in fact, be a teaser for the sequel. So there you have it; even more content for your support. Because you deserve it.

Speaking of future projects!

We're getting dangerously close to the end of the Nerdist Collection contest and my second Inkshares book needs your help. 'A God in the Shed' is looking for new readers to get into the Top 5 in the contest. If you haven't already, go pre-order a copy now. It's a completely different genre and it may not even be your thing, but it's going to be a pretty damn good book (and I'm usually very self-critical and deprecating) and at the very least you'll be supporting my work on other projects that are more in line with your tastes. At best, you'll be one of the first to have helped make what I hope to be a trilogy come to life.

Thank you for your continued support. I'm eager to get some books in your hands.

    Romero Russo liked an update for Disintegration

    Good morning, faithful readers, et al.

    I'm going to make a not wholly scientific assertion and say that, with my 120 followers and my 98 readers, my 82% rate of readership is pretty fantastic!

    But what about the other 18% of you? Are you following just to see the nailbiting conclusion of us jockeying for position at the bottom of the leaderboard? That's cool, if so; I get it. I followed you back because I just like to reciprocate. My pulse is pounding enough without seeing all of the updates!

    However, there have to be among that 18% simply some folks that haven't pre-ordered yet. Please do. I am one away from tying the 18th spot and only 11 behind 17th. We're all vying to be the best of the rest, but ... one more! Come on! We can muster that, right?

    And, then, after that ... 10 more? Why not! Someone of you haven't spoken to your mailman yet, I'm sure. ;)

      Romero Russo liked an update for Welcome to Deadland

      500 readers! Welcome To Deadland crossed 500 readers today! I'm so excited even my T-Rex is roaring in joy!(hope you've got a t-rex shirt ready, Rick, I'm sure you'll be crossing 500 right on my heals.)

      Thank you all tremendously. Those of you that have given me your support by placing orders have left me dazed and amazed by your willingness to help my dream come true. There's still another 8 days to go, and I know we can keep this momentum moving forward. 

      For those that might have missed them, I'm including the links to two different interview that were just posted.

          Romero Russo liked an update for Exile, Magus

          Zaltruscans, dwarven slavers, and carnivorous horses, oh my!  Few too many syllables to make that one work in the original cadence, but oh well.  Suffice to say that matters go from bad to worse for Pentaz in these first parts of chapter 2.  Figured I'd go ahead and post it up before I finally went to sleep.

          As always, thank you for reading, following and preordering.  Enjoy yourselves.

            Romero Russo liked an update for Blood Dawn


            Aint that amazing? That's the work of author AC Weston (author of She is the End, which you should definitely check out!), who has toiling away on something ... awesome, which I'm not allowed to tell you about yet, but I AM allowed to tell you tomorrow, so for now, let this be a sneak peek of something bigger to come...

            Meanwhile, I'll be coloring this image in, and it will become the new Blood Dawn logo, depicting the dragons who made the world, locked together in an act of co-creation. For those DRAGON backers who have ordered 7 copies (my thanks Patazamazzon, Kazangaura, and Lazahalar), this colored logo will be on your t-shirt. I'll be sure to share a picture of this image with color soon!

            There are 8 days left in September, and I'm hoping to finish this month with my 100 for $100 draw. There's about 30 entries left, so now is the time to get in the draw before its over.

            Step up now and become a DRAGON, and you'll have 7/100 odds of winning!

            Step up now and become a GOD-KING, and you'll have 3/100 odds of winning!

            Order one copy and become a SUN PRIEST, and you'll have 1/100 odds.

            But spots are filling up fast, and I'll be doing lots of groundwork this next week connect with more readers, so if you've followed Blood Dawn and you haven't backed it yet, now is a great opportunity to support this book and have a chance to win something in the process!

            More to follow soon.

              Romero Russo liked an update for ENHANCED

              Scott Barsotti, author of Single Version, currently #7 on the Leaderboard, just became a dad. This contest has taken a backseat to parenthood as it should -- for Scott, but NOT for Single Version. Of all the many, many excerpts I've read, this horror urban fantasy is one of the four best novels in the competition.


              It's even become a thing -- Roach Punk! Please help Single Version get back into the Top 5 where it belongs.


              Who knows? Maybe this will be Baby Barsotti's college education fund. So use your credits, use your cards, grab your friends and buy this book!

                Romero Russo liked an update for Disintegration

                Today was a good day.

                I grew up a Detroit Red Wings fan, and Steve Yzerman was my favorite player. He wore 19. I wear 19 every weekend when I play ice hockey, because of him.

                The woman who encouraged me to join this contest was born on the 19th of September.

                As I go off to bed, tonight, I occupy 19th place in this little contest of ours.

                Now, that doesn't mean I've won ... no; that honor is still 254 readers away from my position ... but it does mean that I've gotten amazing support in a very short period of time (it also means there's a hell of a lot of 19 in my life). I feel good.

                I feel immense gratitude toward all of my supporters.

                Thank you. And good night.

                  Hey readers, just a short update today. New chapter (Fionna) coming up tonight. Look for it. We are quickly approaching the final days of the competition. I've gone through and cleaned up the entire draft (8 chapters) considerably, so now is the time to purchase your copy of The Children of the Forest! I want to thank everyone for their support, feedback, and help! Lets try to break 100, we're almost there!
