Hello my Knightmares!

Wow! We had a great week! As it stands right now, we have only 18 pre-orders remain to hit Quill publishing, with 39 days left in the campaign. 

With time winding down, this is when I need everyone the most. You see, just hitting 250 is a remarkable achievement, but nobody wants to just make it across the finish-line. I’m looking to not only break 250, but to get as close to 300 as possible. So with that in mind, remember my referral program!

If you’ve already bought a copy of my book, get just 2 people to buy a copy and I’ll send you a free t-shirt!

So please, if you’re still on the fence, out there lurking and watching and waiting, please take that leap and grab a copy. Be a part of the adventure and enjoy the ride!

And for anybody who wants to check out my other project, still in draft form, feast your imagination with VEXED. -

The 13, the most vile of all the gods on Earth, have come for her; A girl with incredible gifts locked deep within her soul. The Four Keys of Eden stand between them and the spoils of their labor, unless one man can rise to his full potential.

Dear friends and followers,

Who wants to be a character in a murder mystery game?

I am planning a third instalment in the Eric Peterkin mystery game series, and here’s the deal: for each copy of "Murder at the Veterans’ Club" you order between now and 04 August, I will place your name (or another name supplied by you, if you prefer) in a hat; on the day itself, I will draw three unique names from the hat and apply those names to characters in the game.

(Yes: if you place three orders, you get to put three names in the hat.)

I’m not really pushing very hard for sales this month, so your chances of getting picked out of the hat are probably really, really good.

Hello Cape’s Side Bayers!

Here we go! Officially 2 weeks left in the campaign!

It’s been a long 5 months and somewhat bitter sweet that the end of pre-orders is fast approaching.

We have just under 50 orders to go, ideally I’d love to hit that before the 2 weeks are up (this way I can take a much needed nap sooner!), but, you guys have been unbelievably supportive and somehow become more so with each passing day. I cannot thank you enough for the recommendations, the reviews, the prologue recommendations, and of course the orders.

If you haven’t ordered a copy, and want to, you can click on this link here:  https://www.inkshares.com/books/cape-s-side-bay

:)

Today, with 2 weeks left, I’ll share the water colour painting my friend did for Cape’s Side Bay back in March (it was later used by fellow Inkshares author Tabi Card in the cover art you see on the page).

Hope you enjoy it and the rest of your weekend!

All the best,

James

Beautiful Readers,

I have good news, and I have... regular news.

For those of you just tuning in, Devil’s Call began its life as a novella, meaning it clocked in at fewer than 40,000 words and the ending was ambiguous and the antagonist, George Dalton, barely appeared in the story at all.

After some behind the scenes occurrences which I’m not at liberty to discuss yet, I decided to expand the story, flesh out the Dalton character, and make it a full-length novel, meaning its word count would double and I would have to, you know, actually do work.

The good news is, after a month or so of bitching and gnashing my teeth and Adam Gomolin yelling at me to not quit on him, I have finished a scene outline and a synopsis of what the completed novel will look like, so it has a proper ending and character arcs and themes and so on and so forth.

The regular news is, I now have to rewrite the hundred-something pages I’d already decided were the entirety of the original novella, and then actually write the rest of the draft, which won’t be as difficult as I’m making it sound. I made my bed today. I can do anything.

Within the next few weeks, y’all can expect a rewritten first chapter, which I’m about 90% sure will be about 30% different from the one that’s up now, and if I really throttle my keyboard I will have a completed draft by the end of September.

(And I shall throttle my keyboard. One thing this process has solidified for me is the fact that I produce pages, pardon my French, like a fucking maniac.)

That’s it. That’s the news. Expect the new Chapter 1 by the end of this upcoming week.

Smoke ’em if you got ’em,
J.

One Murder More is the winner of the 2016 Silver Falchion Award in the categories of Best First Novel, Best Political Thriller and Best Female Private Eye/Sleuth! 

I was nearly speechless at the podium all three times at the  award ceremony in Nashville last night, and haven’t improved much since!   

Thank you for your ongoing  kindness and support as readers and fellow writers, and to Inkshares for a terrific partnership that made my book a reality!
