G. A. Finocchiaro liked an update for Deus Hex Machina

Today is a big day, one that I have been dreading and anticipating in equal measure. Today, I officially start editing Deus Hex Machina and building my second draft.

Here’s what the process looks like. Staples is now my spirit animal: 

For the next 30 days it’s my plan to implement the changes I have noted down on those little blue cards, honing my first draft into a stronger, more coherent second. When that is done, I will be more than ready to move from alpha reading into beta. As before, let me know if you’re interested.

Once I have the second draft returned from beta readers I’ll hash out a third draft, and then I should be ready to submit to Inkshares by the end of the year. For those that like timelines (and so that I have some accountability for my process) here is what I have planned for the next year:



Like any plan, this will probably change around a bit. Generally though, I am planning to write two books a year, and fund one novel in each series. This doesn’t include other projects I want to be part of, collaborations like Too Many Controllers and Makhaira, so my schedule is going to need to be a little fluid should something awesome come up that I want to take part in. I’m also toying with the idea of funding Shadow of the Owl again before I  fund the sequel. There is just something very appealing about having the entire series under the Inkshares publishing umbrella. 

Speaking of series, for those of you curious minded folks out there, Deus Hex Machina is a trilogy, and Shadow of the Owl et al is a series with six books planned.
So if you look at that calendar, you’ll be able to extrapolate out and figure out what I have planned for the year after that. 


TL;DR: Lots of writing will be happening, mostly in my two main series so if you’re eager to find out what happens to Mylena or Isidore, fear not, books are coming.

 If you have any questions, comment here or hit me up on Twitter @amandaorneck.

Enjoy the silence!

    Picking up where Hans Christian Andersen left off, a mermaid made ethereal finds herself human once again. In this modern-day, urban fantasy novel, will history repeat itself, or will the little mermaid surprise us all?

    G. A. Finocchiaro sent an update for The Knightmares

    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!

    For anyone who wants a deeper cut into the world of The Knightmares, please visit the site at www.TheKnightmares.com!

    And make sure to follow me on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/GAFinocc/

    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.
