Michael Sebby liked an update for Deus Hex Machina

We are sitting pretty at 173 orders for Deus Hex Machina, which I am super happy about. But with well over 500 orders to go for full publication, it’s time to get creative.

As of today I am ending my current raffles.  What, no more cool prizes for supporting DHM? Nah, you didn’t think I’d leave you hanging, did you?

Instead of raffling off copies of Shadow of the Owl, I’ve decided to instead focus on incentivizing referrals.  I think it would be awesome if we could find a couple of very outgoing people to become the DHM Official Street Team (or Machina Crew if you prefer) and help this book get to 750.

How does it work? Well, simply put, you refer people to DHM, and the more people that order the book using your referral code, the more prizes you earn.

At 10 referrals, you’ll get a $25 gift card to Amazon.

At 20 referrals you’ll earn a Deus Hex Machina tee shirt.

At 50 referrals you’ll earn your very own Church of Technology pendant.

And if the book manages to reach 750 orders, I will give away a huge prize package to the Street Team member with the most orders over 50. In this I want to share with you all the great media that inspired DHM, so I’m giving away not only a copy of DHM, but also copies of Blade Runner and AKIRA on Blu Ray, a copy of Deus Ex Human Revolution, and a paperback copies of Neuromancer and The Name of the Rose. It’s a prize package totally $200.00 worth of awesome, and it can all be yours!
Street Team F.A.Q.:

1. How do I participate in the DHM Street Team?
It’s easy, just grab your referral link to the book from the Deus Hex Machina main page, and start sharing it with your friends. 

2. Who is eligible?
Anyone who has an Inkshares account can be part of the street team. You have to refer orders through your referral link in order for them to count towards this promotion.

3. Can International readers join in? 
I am happy to ship internationally for prizes, you just have to have a physical address I can send to.

3. How long will the Street Team last?
This promotion will run until June 18th or until we reach 750 orders, whichever comes first.


So who wants to join my crew?

    Hey there wonderful people, 

    I am over the moon and having a wonderful day. We are currently at 126 orders which means...WE’RE HALF WAY TO QUILL!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!!

    We now half 69 days to sell 124 copies of Beyond the Code and I believe we can do this. Please pre-order if you want to help me make this caffeine induced dream a caffeine induced reality. To all those who have helped me get this far you will forever be my favourite people and I am working tirelessly to get you the best product I can.

      Michael Sebby liked an update for The Life Engineered

       

      The book. It is out. It is out officially and should, as of this writing, be in the hands of almost everyone who’s ordered it.

      The launch party was small but fun. I’m thrilled by who managed to be there and sad about those who wanted to attend but were unable. It was a learning experience and I’m glad I got to try this out in a safe environment surrounded by familiar and supportive faces. Anyone who knows me is aware that I’m not exactly comfortable with some of the required self-promotion activities surrounding the publication of a novel. Amongst others, there’s reading from your own book which is helluva intimidating to me. However, it’s part and parcel of what I want to do and if it’s something readers want, I’ll do it.

      First public reading: Done. The ice is broken. It wasn’t so bad. I think I’ll be fine doing it in the future.

      For those who might have missed it; I was on Sword & Laser on the day of release of The Life Engineered and it was awesome. I really enjoy chatting with Tom and Veronica. I got to answer some questions from readers and I swear Veronica’s eyes lit up when I mentioned that sex between Capeks wasn’t impossible. Let me know if I hallucinated.

      Speaking of Tom Merritt. I was a guest on his other podcast, Current Geek, hosted by Scott Johnson. Current Geek is the kind of podcast that sounds fun to be a guest on and it’s been on my bucket list of appearances for a while. Good news: Even more of a blast than anticipated. Give it a listen. Hell, go subscribe; it’s a hell of a good podcast.

      That’s it for now. I want to thank everyone who was at the party, including fellow Inkshares writers A.C. Baldwin, André Brun and Christopher Huang. Check out their books. Now! I also want to highlight the efforts of Cara Weston who put together a Google Hangout so a few others could attend virtually. Check out her book too.

      So what’s next?

      • Hopefully more media
      • Finishing the manuscript for the sequel to The Life Engineered
      • Maybe another short story in that universe to bridge the two books
      • Pushing really hard to get A God in the Shed to 750 pre-orders. Expect me to enlist your help very soon.

      As always; thank you my fellow sentients. It’s a fascinating ride and I think there’s some really awesome stuff on the horizon for The Life Engineered. Never forget that you’re the ones who made it happen.

      Cheers

      JF

        Friends the Write Out Loud Syndicate is live!!

        If you know what a Syndicate is, I encourage you to join and help me support the LGBTQIA writing community.

        If you are not sure what this is, I can tell you that a syndicate is a way in which every month you can help an author gets published, by pooling your resources with other like-minded readers and pre-ordering their book. There are two tears: $10 for an e-copy or $20 for a signed copy. Not bad eh?

        So you donate $10 or $20 every month. We all as a group decide what author to support and when the author hits funding that book will eventually make it to you.

        Inkshares is a fantastic way to support the LGBTQIA community and allies. We need more books with characters breaking barriers and stereotypes and this is the way to do it! (at least one way.

        So please join me!

          Michael Sebby liked an update for Sync City

          Greetings Jackolytes,

          Thanks to you all, we have stomped our way past the 125 pre-order mark. This is good. This means we are making progress. But there is much yet to do. If you know anyone that likes a bit of sci-fi, then send them in Sync City’s direction.

          In the meantime, if you feel like watching and listening to a little Jack Trevayne, then check out the following video: https://youtu.be/QiDgJwOTF2A  I’m doing the riding, Sean Daugherty’s doing the reading and the city of Seoul is providing the backdrop (I’m on my way home from work if that’s of any interest at all).

          Cheers,

          Peter

            Hey friends!

            I have something special to share with you...

            We made a fan video for Blood Dawn by John Robin!!

            I’m really excited about this book, and I really want to see it get to full funding: 750 pre-orders. This was not John’s idea at all - this was completely fan-driven. I asked around and a bunch of authors, plus one of John’s beta readers who has read the whole book, volunteered to make their own videos talking about why they’re excited for Blood Dawn. Then Alex and I cut it into a sweet little promo video!


            Watch it here!

            This is what happens when people are seriously excited about a book. :)

            Aaand... if you decide to pre-order this book, and you want to pledge loyalty to House Vastaron or the dragon Azzavaston for the game of Blood Dawn Risk, be sure to let me and/or John know!! You can send me an email or reply to John’s thank-you email after you order. 

            Thanks!
