Joseph Asphahani liked an update for Ghosts of War

Greetings.

This morning Facebook reminded me that it is 1 year today since Ghosts of War successfully finished it’s funding campaign. This is actually mildly awkward because I thought it was the 13th...not the 11th...

So, while I don’t have anything for you today, on Friday (the 13th....oooOOOooo...spoopy) I will have a nice, proper, full of info update. 

So yes, today may be the anniversary, but the party is on Friday.

    Joseph Asphahani liked an update for Fae Child

     

    It is a new year! I hope 2017 finds you happy and healthy. Fae Child is sitting at 152 copies sold, which blows my mind (in a good way), but there’s still a long way to go. 98 copies to pre-sell before the end of February, which, I don’t need to tell you, is only a month away, and the shortest month of the year.

    I am doing a Twitter takeover for Young Entertainment Magazine ( @youngentmag ) tomorrow about my experiences as a first time author, which should be entertaining at the very least. If you don’t follow me on Twitter, my handle is @hanejolly - I look forward to seeing you there!

    Progress on the first draft is continuing on pace. I’m very happy with how things are turning out, and I think you will be too.

    Lastly, I have a favor to ask of you. Can you send one friend an email about Fae Child? Here’s a sample email you can copy/customize for your own use:

    Hi (insert name)!

    I just pre-ordered a new YA fantasy book called Fae Child. It’s a sweet, exciting book about a girl who accidentally falls into the land of the Fae, and her father who will stop at nothing to find her. You can read some sample chapters, view a book trailer, and order a copy at https://www.inkshares.com/books/fae-child

    I really think you’ll like it!

    Cheers,
    (your name)

    Thank you again for all your support, and I will update again soon!

      Joseph Asphahani liked an update for Human Resources

      Happy New Year!


      I hope this update finds you all well and relaxed after the holidays. Now the competition / campaign has finished, I’ll be sending out reader updates for Human Resources less frequently. The competition was intense, but the publication process should be a more measured journey. I’ll aim to update you all roughly every month. If you would like to chat, or get some questions answered, I’m happy for you to reach out. You can get hold of me on Inkshares, on Facebook, or Twitter.


      Before Inkshares can commence the publication process, there is some remaining work I need to do to tidy up the manuscript. To make sure I don’t hold this process up, I’ve taken the leap and will be writing full-time through January. I’m one week into this and it has been amazing — something I never thought I’d be able to do, and wouldn’t if it wasn’t for the support I’ve received from my wife.


      I’ve included a simple table below to give you an idea on progress. The first draft of the manuscript has been completed and I’m now working on a rewrite to produce the second draft (which is what I will submit to Inkshares). As you can see, I’m a long way through the second draft, and expect to have it ready for Inkshares by the end of the month.


      Once the manuscript is handed in, it will take about twelve months for the book to hit shelves. This includes approximately five months of editing, followed by the actual manufacture, distribution, and marketing efforts.

      Thank you all for your support. For now, I’m going to get back to finishing the manuscript :)

      Cheers,

      Robert
