G. Derek Adams liked an update for Lucky

Readers,

Big, BIG news today! We got a funding extension for Lucky, which means we have two more months to reach our goal of 750 copies ordered!

What does it mean if we get 750 copies? This:
  • full editing 
  • design
  • printing 
  • distribution to booksellers like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and numerous independent book stores around the country
  • marketing
  • TV and movie tie in rights
This is what I have been dreaming about and working towards since I was a teenager and first started writing stories. This is the dream that you are helping to bring to life with your support and your purchases. And this is the dream that we got an extension on making a reality.

If you haven’t yet purchased a copy, please consider doing so. If you haven’t shared this novel with your friends and family and coworkers and the deli lady who makes your sandwiches, please do so as soon as you can. To make the goal in time, we need to sell about 8 copies a day between now and the first of July. Let’s make this a reality and put a new book on the bookshelves!

A thousand thousand thanks to you all,

- Webster

    Hi friends,

    It’s funny how much noise we make at the end of a funding campaign but then go almost completely quiet once the goal is reached and the celebratory newsletters are sent. It make sense; the book is going into production and Inkshares doesn’t waste time getting us to work. I just sent in my brief and questionnaire. I’m doing a few go-overs before handing in the manuscript. Then there’s other stuff that I need to take care of almost daily. What I’m saying is; I’ve stopped bothering you, but I haven’t stopped working on this.

     

    In the meantime, there’s a lot going on. Least of which is not that I want to get nominated for a Dragon Award. Well, not me, but my other book The Life Engineered. It’s pretty simple to help out. Just go to this page and enter The Life Engineered in the Science Fiction Novel field and follow other instructions. If I get nominated, I’ll drag my carcass down to DragonCon so I can watch someone else win in person. It’ll be a nightmare and YOU can be part of making it happen. I dare you.

    I’ll be keeping all of you in the loop as thing develop, but if you want to make sure you don’t miss anything about my next project, follow Arch-Android, the sequel to The Life Engineered. I’ll be switching this over to a Draft very soon and asking for beta readers. Make sure you don’t miss out. I plan on making that campaign a bigger deal than what I’ve done so far.

    As always; thanks for the support. Great things are happening because of you.

    Oh yeah! Don’t forget to pre-order Pilot X from Tom Merritt. I vouch for it.

      G. Derek Adams liked an update for Dax Harrison

      Happy May readers! ...Is that a thing? Wishing people a happy month of May? Ugh, now I just reminded myself it’s the 1st and rent is due. Lame...

      Anyway, a few bits of business:

      First off, the book status. I am eagerly awaiting some detailed reviews/critiques from my test readers. Thus far, I’ve received a couple quick responses from people still in the process of reading, and the going trend seems to be "I have notes, but I’m loving it so far". So that’s nice. That’s very nice actually. I’m sure I will soon hear all the details regarding the parts of the book that could use some improvement. But in the meantime, feel free to join me as I do my own personal happy dance to the tune of this awesome end credits theme from Iron Man 3. I wonder what the credits music will sound like when Dax becomes a movie... (Hey, I can dream can’t I?)

      And now, let me turn your attention for a moment to some other Inkshares projects that need your help!

      Beyond the Code, by Kelsey Rae Barthel
      This fantasy book has only 12 days left to fund and is just 34 pre-orders away! The story features a group of warriors with extraordinary powers, locked in a war against their corrupt former order and redeeming themselves on a path toward becoming true heroes. Deep-seated conspiracies and fast-paced action. Check it out!


      The Amaranth Chronicles: Deviant Rising, by Alexander Barnes
      I’m giving you the exact pitch on this one because it’s perfect: "A group of freedom fighters join forces with a cybernetic killer to escape a totalitarian government that wants them dead." This has sci-fi blockbuster written all over it. Just take a look at Alexander’s project page and you’ll see the amount of love put into this sci-fi universe. 52 orders away and only 5 days left!!!


      To Live and Die in Avalon, by Jason Chestnut
      This book has a bit more time to spare, but I’m sharing it anyway because it’s a personal favorite. It follows a spacefaring secret agent in a 60s-spy-film-meets-Buck-Rogers retro-futuristic setting. It’s a lady James Bond in space! What’s not to love? I believe Jason has been granted an extension from the Inkshares team, so the book currently has 66 days to go with 169 orders to fill. Make it happen!

      That’s all for tonight. Until next time!

      -Tony

        G. Derek Adams liked an update for The Girl Who Blinked

        Well the reality of it all is sadly setting in. The Girl Who Blinked is just not going to make it to even the Quill goal here on Inkshares, and therefore won’t be getting published through them at this time. More than anything this experience has been a lesson for me in marketing and having things in place before I launch. With those lessons learned, it’s time for me to get back to my own revision process while I debate if and when I will relaunch here on Inkshares or pursue other options.


        Thank you all for the support. I promise this is not the end of Adora’s story.
