Oliver Tooley liked an update for Transilience

Hello everyone!

What better way to assault the drudgery of Hump Day than with some exciting news?

It was rhetorical!

;

Okay, sure. All very good alternatives to assaulting the drudgery of Hump Day, but we will stick with my news. 

With the assistance of my very good-natured wife, I have a winner to announce for the Sketch Raffle.

In an attempt to convey some sense of legitimacy to the selection, behold an image....


Why are you so large image?!?!?!?!  You’re a 37kb JPG. You could fit 5.25 floppy disk! But here you are hogging up the entire width of the typing area.

Anyway....as you can see all of the contestants have been placed lovingly in our overflow fruit bowl. We also use it for tomatoes from time to time. And salad when we’re feeling fancy. But today...it has the distinct honor of holding the names of everyone who has supported Transilience thus far!!

And the winner is....


Super Reader Tim Merchant! 

Congrats Tim! I am excited for your win and I guarantee you will be excited too, until maybe you see the finished product. Then all bets are off. 

I’ll be in touch with you, Tim, soon with more details.

Thanks again to everyone who has supported Transilience thus far. Forty-Eight (48) more orders and we do this again for a commissioned piece of artwork.

Spread the word! With your help, and the help of others, we can make my dream a reality.

Cheers!
Kev

    Oliver Tooley liked an update for The Traveller’s Cup

    Greetings!


    First, thanks to everyone for your support so far. This competition is fierce, and it’s nice to know so many of you want to see The Traveller’s Cup happen.

    However, we’re currently far behind in pre-orders. We had hit 8th place on day one, which was very exciting for me, but now we are out of the top 10. I want to make sure this book gets published and gets into your hands. 

    To make that happen, all you have to do is follow the link back to the book’s page and click "pre-order" on the e-book version. This version comes in a variety of formats that can be read on nearly any device, including your mobile phone or even PC. Plus by picking up the digital version you can avoid printing and shipping costs. 

    If you’ve already ordered your copy, you can help by sharing with your friends on social media and in your geek circles. 

    Thanks again for all your support. Let’s work together to make The Traveller’s Cup a reality. 

    -AC

      Oliver Tooley liked an update for Seven Shards: The Colors of Wine


      Hopefully you’ve had your morning coffee and are ready for your first pair of February recommendations! If not, you can star this email and check back tonight :)

      Both of these recommendations are are quickly approaching their deadline. So, I encourage you to check them out with a sense of urgency! Act now!! Limited time offer (and all that jazz)!!!

      • Captain by Artie Sievers. Captain is a beautifully written origin story of Captain James Hook, Peter Pan’s famed villain. Fresh and familiar all at once.
      • So You Might Be a Vampire by Rodney V. Smith. This is a gritty and sarcastic romp told through the eyes of a subpar vampire named Bob. Watch the video for this one - it’s great!



      While I still have your attention (I hope!), I’d like to let you know about the new Inkshares forum. If you’re interested in learning more about Inkshares projects, or the process, or if you’d like a chance to talk directly with the authors and fellow readers, now you have a place to do it. I invite you to come introduce yourself and have a look around. Go forth and have fun!

        Oliver Tooley liked an update for The Madness of Mr. Butler

        Mr. Butler’s diary has been updated! Go to thediaryofmrbutler.wordpress.com to read the latest entry. He had a few sketches in his journal as well, and those will be posted soon. 

        For those of you who are new followers, thediaryofmrbutler.wordpress.com is where I am posting entries from Mr. Butler’s diary that he kept prior to the events chronicled in The Madness of Mr. Butler. This is supplemental material to my novel, and it is not required for understanding of the story. It is intended as a way to connect with the main character, his environment, and a few of the other characters while I finish the novel itself. I have earned your support, and this is a way of thanking you and giving back. I hope you enjoy. Mr. Butler’s diary will always be free for anyone to read, so please spread the word. Thank you!

        Otherwise, I just wanted to say...WHAT A CONTEST! This is a tight race, and there are a ton of great stories out there! I wish everyone the best! I had no idea this site even existed prior to having this competition recommended to me, and I must say this place is awesome! I hope everyone is having a good time on here enjoying all of the undiscovered authors and dreamers with which you can interact and fall in love. 

        Have a great day, everyone! Pictures of the process of making Mr. Butler are coming soon, as soon as I figure out how to do that...

        Onward...

        Love,

        -Michael

          Hello everyone,

          I only have six more copies of SoF to sell in order to be published. A mere six! We can push SoF into our goal TODAY! We only need six more people to step up and make a purchase. Let’s make this happen!
