Robert Batten liked an update for Devil’s Call

Friends!

There’s an alternate universe where I do things I say I’m going to do in a timely fashion and don’t pop up a month after my novel’s been published to check and see how everyone’s doing, but you know. Life.

.

In this universe, my father asked me how to leave a review, as there is no information as to how to do so on the Inkshares page. So shout out to Papa Dorn, for without him I would have continued putting off this update.

First off: if you preordered either an ebook or paperback copy, you most definitely should have received it by now. If you haven’t, please contact either myself or the good folks at hello@inkshares.com and we’ll figure out what the heck happened.

Second off: I know some of you aren’t wordsmiths, so even just choosing a number of stars and telling the Internet that you enjoyed the novel and would recommend it helps me out in mysterious ways. There’s an algorithm Amazon uses that helps make Devil’s Call more visible once reviews hit a certain number. My sources say the number is 50, but who knows.

Please note that you need to have an account and be signed in in order to leave a review.

      Robert Batten liked an update for Mushroom and Anchovy

      Greetings, adventurers!

      This will likely be the last time you hear from me for a bit as I delve into all the material necessary to help bring Mushroom and Anchovy to life. There’s a lot of work to be done, so if I don’t update for awhile, that’s why. I assure you that you will find out information as I do, so please don’t worry! 

      Thank you for bearing with me last week while I took a little step away. Here are the winners of the draw:

      Congrats to PAULETTE DIOTTE! You have won the $50 Amazon gift card! And congratulations to VICTORIA MARTIN and CAPRICE FRANCIS, the two winners of the Hub City Survival ebooks. Hooray!

      I’m "going on vacation" next week, which really means I’m taking a week long break from social media and work that isn’t 100% for me. I’m going on my bi-annual Unicorn Cave Writer’s Retreat next week, as well, to try and gather some new creative energy, hike in the woods, sit by the campfire, and more. 

      In the meantime, please join me over at my blog and my Facebook page! I just released a new post: What’s next? This regards the future of my other projects.

      Thanks again for reaching this goal with me, adventurers! If you wanted to preorder but missed the campaign, you’re still welcome to do so as the book will be accepting preorders up until its release.  

      I may not talk to you all soon, but it’ll be as soon as I can.

      May your adventures be fraught with wonder and just enough peril to keep them interesting,

      K. M. Cooper

        Robert Batten liked an update for The Madness of Mr. Butler

        Hello friends!

        A couple of things going on, aside from the rewrite:

        1) I hope you all received the prologue. It’s a quick read, and it sets the mood for the book. Any and all feedback is welcome. I hope it makes you laugh. This is my first draft of the prologue, and I liked it so much I wanted to put it up on the page to share. Special thanks to my good friend Peter Ryan for the help with the Aussie slang. Thanks to your help, the dialogue is fair dinkum. Peter is a fellow author, and quite the talent. You can buy his released book, "Sync City," here, and follow his next book, "Destiny Imperfect," here.

        2) We are looking at a possible title change. Not that I don’t like "The Madness of Mr. Butler," but it would be great to get a title that captures the mood of the book as well as give an indication that it is sci-fi in its roots. My favorite thus far is "The Man Who Stole the World." If you have any opinions or suggestions in this regard, please let me know. 

        That’s really it at the moment, as I have to get back to writing. Thank you once again for your support!

        Love to all,

        -Michael

          Robert Batten liked an update for The Knightmares

          Hello Knightmares!

          I am long overdue for an update. Forgive me, because I have news.

          The Knightmares will be starting the production process soon! I have been contacted by the powers-that-be and things are moving forward. HOWEVER, in order to proceed, I need to cut the word count of my manuscript. The amount of words I need to cut will be quite an ordeal.

          At first I viewed this as a setback, but as I began combing through the material once again, I see this as a positive. Stepping away from the project for the last year has given me new perspective, not just on my writing, but an overall way to cut information that was no longer useful. This should allow The Knightmares to become leaner, and move at a quicker pace.

          I cannot promise when I will be able to finish these edits, but I am doing my best considering how long everyone has waited. I have time I can take from my job to work on it, and I will do everything in my power to get it out quickly.

          During this process, I will reveal the new cover design, which has a few small edits needed. It is a powerful cover, and I’m sure everyone will like it as much as I do.

          Until the next time, thank you for your patience and your enduring faith in the project. Big things are coming.

          Thank you!
          G.A. Finocchiaro

            Robert Batten liked the forum thread, Stellar Drift - sci-fi/horror on a labyrinthine starship
            Hey everyone,

            I’m taking a crack at the Inkshare’s 2017 Horror Contest with my upcoming novel Stellar Drift.

            It’s set on a decimated generation ship and features a cast of characters working to discover their own history while struggling to be on top of what remains. It delves into existential horror territory with dashes of political intrigue and adventure that I hope you will enjoy.

            You can read the first chapter and some character summary’s on its page:
            https://www.inkshares.com/books/stellar-drift

            Take a look and throw in a pre-order if it seems up your alley. I’ll release progressive chapters every 15 pre-orders so help get the word out! Let me entertain you with the amount of ways I can describe darkness in one novel. You will not be disappointed!

            And always feel free to DM with comments/critiques. Open to sharing or reviewing other work too!

              Robert Batten liked the forum thread, Far Flung - Discover another universe and get a shout out for your work!
              Far Flung is a sci-fi adventure for fans of both old-school and recent science fiction. It follows the adventures of colonists on a ship far from Earth. I think this guest post with Apotheosis Studios says it best - it’s all about finding a new home and negotiating with strange beings and unknown cultures along the way.

              I’ve already had a lot of positive words about this story. I’m working with a focus on characters and world-building to bring this story to life, and I already have several great recommendations for the preview chapters.

              I have a running promo for authors and creators who support! Since I can’t exchange pre-orders with everyone, this is what I offer instead - a quick shout out on my blog and Twitter, and an addition to an ever-growing Thank You list that will go in the final book.

              The pre-orders are coming in - I hope yours will be among them!

                  Robert Batten liked an update for The Last Faoii

                  Greetings, Faoii!

                  Our warriors have started sending in reports that they’ve received their books! After six long years, The Last Faoii is real, and I almost can’t contain my joy at its existence. As always, I have you to thank for this.  Thank you so much for your continued support. I can’t believe we made this possible.

                  Don’t forget-- the absolute BEST thing you can do for The Last Faoii now is to leave reviews on Amazon and Good Reads. Good reviews are the best way to make sure that word about our army spreads, and not-as-good reviews are the best way for me to learn to be a better writer in the future. Everyone has an opinion. I truly want to hear yours.

                  I couldn’t have gotten this far without you, Faoii, but I know that I still have a long journey ahead of me. Please be a part of it. There are still more battles on the horizon.

                  Shields up. I can’t believe we did it!

                  Faoii-Tahani
