I like making worlds, throwing wrenches in their works, and making characters pull out the wrench. V...
Time for another update! Short and to the point.
1. You are awesome!
2. Rise is out to various media types for reviews!
3. Still looking at a release party before Dragoncon. Those within driving range or attending the con and arriving on Thursday stay tuned for details.
4. I’m doing it again!! I have a new project in the pipeline ready to participate in the upcoming Geek and Sundry Hard Science contest. This story was the brainchild of my wife and I. It was the novel I first completed Nanowrimo with way back in 2011! So, you’d think I’d be all set for it. But, as with all things like this, draft one was...not up to snuff. So I’m reworking it over the next 8 weeks to have it ready to go by the end of the contest. And it’s only going to be 50K words! Nice after the 155K Rise clocked in at.
5. This is not a "funding campaign". I want to dispel that right off. Inkshares fronts the lion-share of the cost for production and distribution. I’ve seen the numbers so far. The preorder money only took the top off that total. So, what is this instead? It’s an opportunity for you to pick what the industry publishes and a chance to get a limited run first edition autographed by the author when it arrives instead of someday down the road! And there are lower thresholds to win a contract now: 250 for a light, but still physical distribution contract and 750 for the whole shebang Rise got.
6. Still reading? Go to tiny.cc/aftermannovel to check out the new project and if you like it, please follow. You’ll be able to pre-order starting Monday, 4 April 2016, and I hope you will come on board and support this one just like you did Rise. And remember, you don’t get charged until it reaches the preorder goal!
7. You are awesome!
Hello "CotF" backers ~
Work continues on the book, with heavy editing and beta-reading underway. I’m still putting the finishing touches on the last portion of the story, but I’m hoping to have a complete manuscript by the end of May for final submission. That being said, I intend to take my time in finishing the book, to guarantee that every backer receives the best product possible.
I do have some good news - I have one finished portrait and two preliminary sketches, showing off a bunch of the beautiful artwork backers can look forward to with the art booklet -
Hello Cape’s Side Bay followers!
Well here we are, Friday April 1st, 2016 and the official launch of pre-orders for Cape’s Side Bay!
I hope you’ve enjoyed what you’ve read enough to put your faith in the rest of the story and support the book.
So.... all that out of the way I have another sketch! This one is a personal favorite of mine. My friend once again sketched this. Now, I will not explain to you what exactly it is, but I hope you like it. It’s definitely from the book!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! And please help spread the word that is CAPE’S SIDE BAY!
Thank you all very much!
Greetings Jackolytes,
We are storming ever closer to the 250 mark with fewer than 10 pre-orders required. Jack would love to ride into existence before the weekend is out, and I’d love some new readers to come along. The necessary conditions are simple: computer, credit card and cognizant. Does this sound like anyone you know? Does this sound like you? You can find Jack at: www.inkshares.com/books/sync-city It’d also be cool if you could share this link with those around you. As always, you can get hold of me at blooryan@hotmail.com .
Cheers,
Peter
