          Greetings wonderful followers, 

          I have some news. I have contracted Mickey Mikkelson with Creative Edge as my publicist. He will help me build a strong writer platform and get the word out about Beyond the Code. He’s already booked me to be a guest on the awesome writers video podcast, Spilling Ink, on Feb 17/18. Look out for it. 

          With any luck, we’ll have plenty more events to announce in the future. I’ll keep you informed the best I can. 

          Also, I’m being told that the email address confirmations have been going out to my wonderful readers. So if you have moved in the recent future, make sure to input your correct address. And don’t forget that once you have read Beyond the Code, make sure to give it a review. Reader reviews are a first time authors best friend. 

          Thank you all for following me this far. It’s been a long road but pub day is fast approaching.

            Jason Pomerance liked an update for A Gentleman’s Murder

            Dear friends and followers,

            Things continue apace, and I think we’re on track for publication before summer. It’s a lot more work than I bargained for! The big news, though, is that we’re changing the title of the book. The story will now be published as "A Gentleman’s Murder". Well, if a gentlemen’s club, then of course a gentleman’s murder, right? And one has to admit it rolls off the tongue more easily.

            It does mean I’m going to need a new header for these news bulletins....

            The other big news is that we’ve also got a new cover!

            It’s not quite final yet, I’m told, but I gather that this is a pretty good taste of what’s in store.

            And now, I had better get back to those edits. Before somebody murders me....

              Jason Pomerance liked an update for Sunshine is Forever

              Today is a great day, thanks to you, and Inkshares. 

              I can honestly say I wouldn’t be where I am without the experience I had working with Inkshares on Sunshine is Forever. I have had both negative and positive experiences with the company, but I know their editorial process really improved my writing and taught me a ton. I want to thank Inkshares and all of you for supporting me with this book. You helped elevate me to the next level.

              I’ve been querying to get a writing agent for 7 years. Well, I can finally announce that I have officially accepted representation with Jennifer Soloway at Andrea Brown Lit. I am thrilled! Here’s to a long and prosperous writing career! 

              http://www.andreabrownlit.com/

              I appreciate all of you! Don’t forget to review Sunshine is Forever on AMAZON!

                Jason Pomerance liked an update for Storm of Fury

                Ladies and gentlemen...we are published!!

                After four years of development, the first book of the Storm of Fury trilogy has been released! You can order it here on Inkshares or find it on Amazon! If you pre-ordered, you should already have your ebooks, and your physical copies have shipped out to you.

                I want to thank everyone who supported me from the beginning of my campaign and endured the long road to publication. I can’t believe it’s finally here! I’ll have another update for you in a few weeks, detailing my next steps and how you can help bring Storm of Fury to new readers. In the meantime, thank you so much for everything, and enjoy the novel!

                Regards,

                Andrew Wood
