I apologise that I have not updated you all sooner as I was away on holiday last week. Sadly to say that I had returned home to an email to say that Soulblade had not reached its funding goal, but I’m not giving up that easily...
I’ve decided to try and enter my book into the Geek and Sundry Contest...(Once I find out how exactly), yes you’ve heard me right. It would be the first ever contest I would enter into. Hopefully I would see the love and support you have given me before to help me achieve this unique opportunity. I will update you all once I have entered but you will be happy to know that I have resumed selling pre-orders once again, so please show your wonderful support once again.
Hello Cape’s Side Readers!
Here we are with under 20 days remaining! Unbelievable! Feels like yesterday I click the green button and made the campaign LIVE!
There isn’t enough space in these update messages to thank every person that has helped me along the way. The support given by friends, family, and the people here on Inkshares has been unbelievable and I am forever grateful.
With 19 days to go I wanted to do a bit of a throwback, of sorts, with a sketch from a chapter in the book. I won’t get away any specifics on it as it happens later on, but a friend of mine drew it and I really like it. I did post it in an update previously, but that was in March. I can’t believe we are already in mid August!
Labour Day is close at hand, and that is when Cape’s Side Bay takes place & the campaign comes to an end!

Enjoy your day, your summer, and everything in between (hopefully pre-ordering Cape’s Side Bay fits in there)!
Exciting news Masters and Apprentices! RUNE OF THE APPRENTICE will be made into an Audible Audiobook!

Greetings All,
So lots of things. First of all, as of a day or two ago, An Unattractive Vampire broke 2500 books!
MAKE IT RAIN!
In other big news, An Unattractive Vampire is up for an award!
AUV along with its sibling books in the Sword and Laser collection, The Life Engineered and Asteroid Made of Dragons, has been nominated for The Dragon Awards at this years Dragon Con in Atlanta. Yulric and company are in the "Best Horror Novel category (with Life Engineered in Sci-Fi and Asteroid in Fantasy.) Here’s a link about it. And another one.
So I know what you’re thinking: "Jim, you’ve been nominated, but how do you win this fire-breathing award?" Well, I’m glad you asked. You just go to here and vote. And while you’re there, cast a vote for Asteroid Made of Dragons and The Life Engineered as well. Sword and Laser 2016!
P.S. We’re also going to be having a Sword and Laser Dragon Award sale on e-books starting tomorrow. So if you have friends with electronic devices who like vampires or bargains...send them Inkshares’ way. (Yes, I really did type that. Shut up. I’ve got a really bad cold.)
And finally, with all this exciting vampire talk it’s easy to forget other small details like THIS OTHER BOOK I’M WORKING ON.
That’s right, my tale of Death building a life for himself at the end of the world (a natural comedy) is off to the races of the Geek and Sundry Contest. Already there are nearly three hundred books that have been submitted which is daunting and scary. (I am feeling very, very daunted and very, very scared.) So here are a few things you can do to help me with this process.
1. Order a copy. Easy. No frills.
2. Tell your friends to order a copy. It’s all about the number of people who order in this contest, so more people >;;;;;;;;; more books.
3. Recommend the book. Go to the Morose’s Inkshares page, read the sample chapter, and click like or recommend. Highlight sections of the book you liked and comment on them. (I promise I’ll add more soon.) You can even leave a review. It all works out to more eyeballs on my page, more good words, more hype, more encouragement to take a chance on this new story with a slightly harder to sell premise than "Vampires."
Anyway, that’s the news for now. Thanks everyone.
