Fellow Sentients, Capeks and other assorted AIs,
Hey everybody, I know I’ve been quiet lately but that’s just because I’m still in work mode. This update isn’t about me or Exile, Magus though(I’ll talk about that this weekend).
Right now I just want to make sure you’re aware of a great book which I hope to see hit 750 preorders soon so that it can get the full Inkshares treatment. Its currently near that funding goal with only 133 pre-orders needed as of this typing to get full funding. I think it’s worth your attention and I hope you’ll agree. Check it out: 

19 days left in this campaign and 101 copies to go before I can reach Quill!
Is it impossible? No. Is it improbable? Possibly. But it would be nice to finish strong.
I want this to be made. Like, I REALLY want this to be a thing on your bookshelf (whether physical or virtual).
Usually I don’t like to spam my updates with a call to action, but in this case, I think it is warranted. If you know of anyone who would like this book, please send them in my direction. And I know this has been stated in many updates from many other Inkshares authors, but it bears repeating: if you are following this novel, but haven’t pre-ordered, now is the time to act! PLEASE consider jumping off the fence and helping this campaign blaze past the finish line.
The usual raffle is in place: for every 10 unique readers, I will draw names for prizes. It’s simple, and it’s a win for you!
There isn’t much else to drone on about, so I won’t draw this out longer than it needs to be.
Let’s make this dream a reality!
Well, here we go!
THE EBOOK IS LIVE AND READY FOR YOUR DOWNLOAD! Just login to Inkshares, click your profile pic in the right corner, go to your bookshelf and DOWNLOAD!
Also, the physical copies of the book are at the warehouse and begin shipping ASAP! By the end of the week (roughly) you should have your copy of AGELESS in your hand, just like the one below!
When you get it, TAG IT and yourself on ALL social media with the hashtags #AgelessByPaulInman, #scifibooks, and tag me @paulinmansc on Twitter and Instagram!
REVIEWS ARE THE LIFE BLOOD OF BOOKS - read the story then keep Ageless alive (heh, puns) by posting a short written review on the following platforms:
GOODREADS PAGE - NOW OPEN and we are 4.75 out 5 stars!
AMAZON PAGE - Not open yet, but it will open SOON (around Pub date, May 3rd). Just copy your Goodreads review to the Amazon page when it’s live.
I’m shooting for at least 60 positive reviews on these platforms, which is VERY doable! Just talk about why you liked it...or I’ll make it easy for you - just copy and paste -
I loved the book! Pick up a copy!
(IF you feel like the story wasn’t up to your standards please contact me HERE in lieu of a poor review, and tell me how I can grow as a writer for my next project. It would benefit me more to have an open conversation with you than a poor review)
Don’t forget, WE HAVE A VENUE FOR THE LAUNCH PARTY! I’ve partnered up with a local comic book shop called Coastal Comics! Saturday, MAY 7, 12-2pm. Come and hang out with me! Get your copy of Ageless signed and maybe hear a reading and MAYBE get some free swag...(again, who is paying for that?) Also, pick up a free comic book while you’re there for Free Comic Book Day!
Last, but certainly not least, this entire experience is possible because of YOU. I couldn’t have made it this far without your support. Thank you will never be enough.
So I just got an email from Inkshares, letting me know Deus Hex Machina was selected as this month’s CEO Syndicate pick! Alluva sudden we’ve blown past 200 orders, and are almost to 220! It’s amazing!
Hi all-as you may have noticed Daughter of the Mara has gone back into draft mode following the end of its funding cycle yesterday. However this is not the end of the road for Jay’s story. I am currently working on yet another edit with plans to self-publish sometime in late May/early June. Once I have a more firm timeline on that I will send an update her and will also update my Facebook fan page (please check it out if you haven’t already). Once again thank you all so much for your support-it warms my heart to know that this story about a girl with waking nightmares appeals to people other than me :)
Dear Readers,



He and I game a lot together, but in the past we have only been able to watch previous Internationals on Twitch so we are stoked to be able to go in person this year! I’m already hard at work on my cosplay, too! I dropped a huge hint in my last update (OK, not a hint, I totally gave it away) but over on my blog I’m going to be doing a complete costume construction run down as the date approaches, so stay tuned!
In the meantime, feel free to hit me up for a game of DOTA! Friend me on Steam, my Friend ID is 65253934 and here is a direct link to my Steam profile. For those wondering my MMR is 3.5k and I have 3,050 hrs on record. Yeah, I’m addicted...
For those of you who do not know how amazingly awesome DOTA, the International, or Major League Gaming is, last year there was a CROWDFUNDED Prize Pool of $18,429,613. Just let that sink in for a second... Yeah, pretty wild. I will end this update with the below picture to put professional DOTA into perspective for non-gamer folks!

Happy reading, gaming, and doing all the other awesome stuff that inspires you! Also, for those new followers who have not checked out my book (gasp!) take a look at the Prologue (it’s pretty amazing) and then snag a pre-order. For only $8.99 You will not be disappointed! Enjoy!
