Brian and Michelle Guthrie liked an update for Lucky

Hi, my faithful and wonderful Readers,

I am happy to announce that my lengthy silence is (hopefully) over! The past few weeks have been a tumult of real life, depression, anxiety, and installing new book cases in my house! The new book cases are wonderful...the other stuff wasn’t so wonderful. Here’s a picture of the new book cases to cheer us all up. ...

In other, more exciting news: I have finished my first rewrite for Chapter 13 of Lucky! I’m pretty excited and I think the new writing is going to be fun for everyone to read. It involves - get this - pet rocks. Yes, I said it. Pet rocks! And in space!

It also opens the door for me to flesh out a few of the secondary characters in the novel and bring them more into the spotlight than they have been previously. I even gave one of them the wonderful name of Giovanna Marino. So that was fun.

There’s a bit of a downside, though. I had, with the help of a beta reader (or seven), discovered that I have a MAGNIFICENT AND LARGE (read that in an epic booming voice) plot hole in the middle of my book. This new Chapter 13 helps fill that MAGNIFICENT AND LARGE plot hole...but also makes necessary the creation of all new Chapters 14, 15, 16 and maybe 17. What is currently number Chapters 14, 15, 16 and maybe 17 will become probably Chapters 18, 19, 20 and 21, etc. The MAGNIFICENT AND LARGE plot hole will be filled, there shall be more of Lucky for all of you to enjoy, and I will grow more gray, crazy lady hairs as a result. It will all be wonderful fun and hopefully finished in the next two weeks-ish.

I’ll be tweeting updates out as well, so follow me on Twitter (@RH_Webster) and on Facebook (www.facebook.com/RHWebster.ScienceFiction) and on Wordpress (www.rhwebster.wordpress.com). I might even drop a few lines/paragraphs here and there for you to enjoy, so you’ll want to stay alert!

As ever, I cannot thank you enough for your continued support! Instead I’ll have another cup of coffee in your honor.

- Webster

    Good morning Dreamers!

    I hope everyone is well, I hope everyone is safe, and I hope my friend recovered from being attacked by a pack of wild dogs he thought he saw (he was... extra sober). We have officially hit the one month mark and are sitting at 193 pre-orders! I tell you what I’m going to do about it, as I’m currently fist pumping and typing one -handed, which is taking forever. I am going to release a chapter at pre-order 200.

    The second bit of news is that I’m partnering with S. J. McCune of Millicent Barnes Comics for some artwork. I’ve followed his for some time off kickstarter, bought some amazing artwork which is now framed on my walls, and could not recommend in independent artist more highly. Check his work out at  millicentbarnescomics.jimdo.com or comixology under the name.

    Thank you again for your support and let’s get these last pre-orders for Quill!

    Sweet Dreams,

    Stephen

      Very cool new feature @Thad Woodman! I’m wondering what metrics are tracked for rankings. Care to shed any light on your Inkshares algorithmic machinations? :)  

      For those wondering WTF I’m talking about, if you click someone’s profile (like this one) you will see a little orange  box stating their influential reader rank. (I am #22 Most Influential Reader) pretty interesting!

      I’ll be curious as to how this impacts the Inkshares site AND am wondering what other new features Thad has in store for us!

        From space it came, a great database... But perhaps the only people who can unlock it must enter a virtual world to do so. Could a group of gamers be the key to unlocking secrets from the cosmos?

        The world we knew is no more. Less than what collectively seems like two year ago, it collided with a Virtual Reality game we knew as Stratos. But now, that game is our reality.

        Hey, superspies!

        Jason here with your weekly To Live and Die in Avalon update! 

        Editing is moving forward very nicely and we are getting closer and closer to a polished second draft that will then be sent off to the next round of beta readers. I’m really happy with the way the book is shaping up and know that I’m going to be giving you the best version of the story!

        We’re at less than 30 days to go, so please, pre-order if you haven’t already. We’re at 98 pre-orders and need 250! Spread the word! Buy some copies for your friends and family! 

        I’d also like to take the time to promote another great book on the site that is closer to their goal than I am and really needs a big push. RF Martin’s Pixelated Obsidian Roses. It’s a Lovecraftian cosmic horror novel that features some really great prose and atmosphere. Click on the link, check it out, pre-order if you can!

        That’s all for this week. I will be making a special video update for next week as there have been some major things going on in my life that have made promoting the book difficult and I’d like to explain face to face (or face to screen). 

        Have a great Sunday and enjoy the rest of your week!

        Jason

            Brian and Michelle Guthrie liked an update for In Beta

            Hey all, 

            I got some exciting news over the weekend: Bill Oakley, former writer and showrunner for THE SIMPSONS and a personal hero of mine endorsed IN BETA.

            "A hilarious concept from a very funny and talented guy--I cannot wait to see it!"

            This is the genius who wrote some of my favorite Simpsons episodes, including "Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy", "Bart vs. Australia" and "Who Shot Mr. Burns". It’s a huge shot in the arm for the novel, and for my campaign.

            Thank you Bill, and thank you to everyone who’s ordered a copy thus far!
