James Rasile liked a chapter from Seven Days a Servant

Nights in the palace are so different from the days. Days are filled with the bustle of anonymous servants, but nights are dominated by the closest of friends and family.

As I arrive at the House of Service, the mask is just starting to peel away. I smile and wink and scrunch up my face to feel all the different ways the glue can pull. It’s not the most adult thing I’ve ever done, but it is mesmerizing. I hardly notice the crowd lined up to return their masks.

I walk past the dirty. . .

    Well thought out, rich characters, in an intriguing/refreshing story! As a lover of wine I love the set up for what's the come and look forward to seeing where these characters go and how the story unfolds. Check this promising book out!

    A giant piece of paper, covered in numbers, falls from the sky & lands in Button Ole’s back garden. It’s a Gift from a strange, disembodied appendage that lives above, and It’s about to make her life a lot more complicated. A comedy-fantasy novel.

    James Rasile liked a review for The Knightmares
    Meta textual and light hearted, The Knightmares brings the reader into the story with a clear idea of the reader's voice, which can be directly heard by the reader. This technique brings greater focus to the story itself, which is all the more powerful for it. I look forward to reading more.

        James Rasile liked an update for The Living God

        Hey guys!

        It has been a good week. We’ve kept a decent pace and are still bouncing back and forth between 5th and 6th in the contest. Also, we are only 141 orders away from making Quill! That is super exciting. I know that the contest is going to be tough to win, especially with whispers of some authors with well-established followings restarting their campaigns to enter the contest. There are over 150 entries in the contest right now, from what I read in an article about the contest, and we are on the leaderboard! That is something to really be proud of. 

        I have to be honest. When I heard about established authors jumping into the fray, it filled me with some trepidation and made me a bit disheartened. It made me realize that there are two and a half months left in the contest and at any moment the book could get knocked off the leaderboard. However, I’ll keep plugging away. I won’t stop working towards the goal of Top 3!

        One of the other projects I’ve been working on for the last two weeks is a website for The Living God. You can find it here. There, you can read more about the book and find character bios. I’m going to start work on character illustrations very soon!

        Also, the fourth chapter is posted! If you haven’t checked out the other ones, please do. 

        Chapter 1
        Chapter 2
        Chapter 3
        Chapter 4

        Again, thank you for your support, guys. It means a lot to me. Please recommend the book on Inkshares and your social media sites. Help me spread the word. Help me make this a success. To those who have already worked so hard to help me get this far, thank you so much.
