James Rasile liked a review for Sunshine is Forever
The topic of depression can be bitter pill. Taken too seriously and you can bum out your readers, making them wonder why they’re reading your work in the first place. But Sunshine is Forever does a good job of balancing a depressed teenager’s viewpoint with a mix of satire and comic relief. I’m always drawn to works that have something to say, and I’m dying to know the mystery behind Hunter’s illness and how he grows as a character. I love the premise and potential of Sunshine is Forever. Fun Fact: You should support this book!

      Hey Campers! 

      We crossed the 300 preorder mark! Fantastic! Thank you so much for ordering, and for having faith in this novel! 

      I just posted Chapter 9 for your enjoyment! In this chapter we see a different side of C. Dermont.

      (Also, just an FYI, there are over 50 chapters in this book! The chapters are short. I promise I won’t spoil too much!)

      We still have a long way to 750. AND the preorders have actually grown exponentially by the day. BUT I am slowly reaching the end of my network. SO I would love some help! 

      WHAT YOU CAN DO: 

      1)   If you like the book enough, you could buy a second copy for a friend!

      2)   AND/OR you could ask one friend to buy the book TODAY! (If everyone does this TODAY, we will be at 600 preorders)

      Here is a script that you can use to convince them: 

      Hey Hunter S. Thompson(Insert the actual person’s name)! 

      My friend’s book has reached the publishing tier on InkShares! I already supported it, and it is amazing! At 750 preorders, he will get wider distribution, AND one of the largest agencies in the country, UTA, will represent the film rights for the novel. 

      You should support him, and preorder the book too! 750 is a lofty goal, but he can make it with our help! 

      Thanks so much!

      PREORDER NOW: https://www.inkshares.com/books/sunshine-is-forever

      $10 for E-Book, $20 for a signed copy!

      I can’t thank all of you enough! At this point, my goal is to make the most out of this awesome situation, and the only way I can do that is by reaching 750 preorders! Thanks for already taking the time to preorder! Thanks for your help! And thanks for reading this!

        It’s Thursday!

        Hope you are all doing well on this fine day!

        We are just over 2 weeks to go in the campaign and things are looking promising. I haven’t slept much over the past 4 months, and I don’t anticipate I will until this campaign comes to a close.

        It’s #tbt today and so I will once again share a sketch, by my friend Ryan Howitt, for your viewing pleasure. This picture depicts an event in an already uploaded chapter. It’s Victor and his son on a hunting trip. He teaches his boy how to hunt, but something seems to be afoot!

        You guys have been great, I cannot wait for you all to read the book. I worked extremely hard writing it, creating the rules of the world in which it exists and sticking to those rules.

        It is more than it seems. I promise you it is more than just a monster story. It has depth, and consequences to it. It is something I am very proud of.

        When I first pitched the book on Inkshares I described it as "Jaws meets Close Encounters." Now I’d describe is as "Stranger Things meets Stand By Me." 

        I promise you this is a story worth backing!

        Thank you all for your ongoing support, it keeps me sane! 

        Now, let’s finish strong!

          Hello, readers!

          We’re now at 28 preorders. Brilliant!

          By now, I hope that you’ve all had a chance to check out the two chapters available to read. A third chapter will be released soon, and following that I’m planning to share some excerpts that take place later on in the story. 

          For those of you who have yet to pre-order, I’m hoping that this extra content will convince you to take the plunge. 

          While you’re here, I’d like to take the opportunity to point you in the direction of two other projects on Inkshares:

          • The Decemvirs by Charley Hicks and Christin Gattuso 
          • Fae Child by Jane-Holly Meissner
          Both of these are being written by good friends of mine. If you enjoy what I’ve been doing with Witherfist, I’m sure you’ll love what they are doing too.

          Thanks for reading!

            James Rasile liked an update for Impervious: Book 1 of the Iron Principles

            Good evening! Sorry I’ve been quite the last couple days.  I can honestly tell you that it’s because I’ve been writing long into the night, finishing up the second draft of Impervious. It’s so close and I’m so excited to finally have it finished!

            While I’ve been writing, I’ve been cleaning up what I have written a little bit, changing some names around (Issa used to be Melissa) adding in some quotes on chapters that were missing them. Every little detail, every bit of polish just makes me feel that much better about it.

            I’ll be going quiet again for a couple days. This time, because I’ll be at the biggest gathering of science fiction and fantasy authors in the world for an entire weekend! WorldCon here I come!

            Once WorldCon is over, I’ll donate a little more time to keeping everyone updated on the status of Impervious, and doing my best to be responsible and push it a little more on social media.

            If the campaign to get Impervious in the top three is going to have any problems, that’s going to be it. I hate filling my Twitter feed with constant "Buy my book" tweets, or sending out private emails ...but that’s what it’s apparently going to take.

            As always I could use the help of you fine people. How can you help? The best way would be to recommend me on Inkshares, get that number of recommendations up. Get involved in the community a little by reading my chapters, and commenting on bits you liked, or even something you feel could use improvement. 

            A huge thanks to those of you who’ve already pre-ordered and an equally huge thanks to those who’ve shared on Twitter and Facebook. I love you all, you’re awesome! Now, I’m going to head out tomorrow and see if I can’t talk some more people into helping make this book of ours a reality.
