I have the best crew of dedicated followers out there. You guys are just so fantastic! 

TOO MANY CONTROLLERS, the short story project I’m part of, has hit the Quill funding goal and that means THE BOOK WILL BE PUBLISHED even if we don’t win this contest. 

But let’s be real, you guys are going to make that happen, amiright?

Here’s why YOU need a copy - There are 15 amazing Inkshares authors coming together for this book for the first time in Inkshares history. I can tell you that each of us brings something great to the table. Trust me, I know, I have seen the synopsis of all the stories and even some of the early drafts. This book is going to be KILLER! 

Since it’s now public, here is the synopsis for MY short story.

1989 - Paul Inman

• A rare, old arcade game is dropped off at a modern repair/restoration house where it is discovered that gameplay holds the keys to changing the events of the future.

Make sure you PREORDER YOUR COPY if you haven’t already. (I’m borrowing this great graphic from J.F. Dubeau)

Also very important, AGELESS is still looking for your reviews on Amazon and Goodreads!

Speaking of Ageless, I’m going to be at my local Barnes and Noble this SATURDAY for a Q&A and signing! If you are in the Myrtle Beach area don’t miss out! If you don’t have Ageless we will have some on hand! Come let me thank you in person for helping me achieve this amazing goal! 

I have just realized that, with all the excitement about finally hitting the Quill goal, I completely forgot to give my Wednesday update, the author recommendation. Naturally I realize this as I’m on my way out the door to work, but I’m still going to throw one out there.
 

And The Wolf Shall Dwell caught my attention for its fascinating noir-esque themes and tones. It has a solid ensemble cast of strong, well-developed male and female characters. The plot is reminiscent of an Alfred Hitchcock story like The Man Who Knew Too Much, and the pacing keeps you gripped the further you get into it. Definitely give this story a look if you like thrillers. I’m eagerly awaiting my own copy. I eat this kind of stuff up.
Also, yeah...don’t forget to keep pre-ordering Tantalus Depths too...it can still use some loving.

Tantalus Depths is only 3 pre-orders away from reaching Quill! Let’s get there tonight!

Hello All, 

Time to report in to my Pokemon Trainers, Veronica and Tom - have I lived up or sorely disappointed?!

Tantalus Depths is only 14 pre-orders away from Quill! Come on, everyone, we’re almost there! Let’s have one more big push to get us over the line!

I know you’re busy. Trust me; I understand. So I won’t take long. 

You’ve all been aggressively supportive of me and my work. Honestly, I couldn’t ask for a better group of readers. So take it from me when I say you’re going to want to take a look at this.

Too Many Controllers is an anthology I’m participating in with 14 other proven Inkshares authors. It’s going to be a fascinating book that brings together the varied imagination of authors so different but all gathered under the umbrella of a similar theme; video games. 

"But J.F." you say, out loud, while reading this, which is weird. Seriously, keep it down. People are watching. "But J.F., I don’t care about video games."

Listen; I’ve read the outlines and synopsis of the stories going into this. Sure, there’s some that touch video game culture directly, but others that use the theme as a through line and backbone to tell a story in the genre of the author behind it. That’s the beauty of anthologies; while there is a nice bow that ties everything together, what’s inside the package is a collection, a sampler pack of different writers. You’re going to want to read this. So click on the links. Pre-order your copy. Trust me, having no less than fifteen authors feel like they owe you something? That’s worth the price of admission.

 Also, very important; review The Life Engineered on Amazon and don’t forget to follow Arch-Android.

As always; I owe you everything. Don’t abuse that power too much, but y’know; thanks.

JF

Dammit... I said I wouldn’t take long. Sorry?
