Hello dear readers,
It’s been a little while. I try not to be too much of a bother and besides, we’ve just come through another NaNoWriMo and I’m glad to say that I’ve pulled through and met my word count.
This NaNoWriMo was different
Indeed, this time around I didn’t just set out to write a 50, 000 word novel in thirty days. Instead, I’ve embarked on a lifestyle. NaNoWriMo isn’t just a one month each year event any longer. Rather, it’s an every day thing. Without fail, I will write 1666 words each day unless I’m actively editing a book at the time. But this is boring to you. I’m boring. Let me talk about exciting things.
The Life Engineered is drawing close
We are less than three months away from the release of The Life Engineered and we’re starting the first few steps of the marketing campaign. Obviously, a lot of what’s going on is rather hush-hush, but I’m excited to say that the work Inkshares is doing on that front is incredible. It kills me that I can’t share more details with you but consider yourself teased.
The Sword & Laser Collection Contest : The Sequel
Very excited to announce that Sword & Laser is running another contest for their Collection. You might remember that collection where The Life Engineered makes its home. I am not participating in this contest. I have significantly too much on my plate right now that I can’t see myself pushing a book on top of everything. I highly encourage you to go check out the contestants though. Already a few of the new books participating look very promising and the selection promises to get better with every week.
My friend Andre is participating with his book Lies and Deception. Check it out and if you have spare credits toss them his way.
While I’m not in the contest I am still trying to get A God in the Shed funded to the 750 pre-order level. I’ll be powering up the promotion engines to push that project forward in the next few weeks but in the meantime, if you know anyone who’d be interested in a cool Fantasy/Horror book and helping an aspiring author, send them this link and tell them to pre-order A God in the Shed today.
As always, thank you for your support. It’s changing my life in ways I can’t begin to describe yet.
Cheers,
JF
