Brian and Michelle Guthrie liked an update for And the Wolf Shall Dwell

Hi all,

A quick "just before the weekend" update:

My good friend Omer Sagiv, who’s an amazingly talented industrial/concept designer and artist (do yourself a favour and check out his stuff at http://www.omersagiv.com) has decided that the old book cover simply had to go. Even though I urged him not to (it is after-all temporary) he went ahead and designed a more "in the spirit of the novel" book cover. I personally think it turned out great - would love to hear your take on that.

By the way, this is not meant to take anything away from Dious’ gorgeous photo that will keep serving as the theme of the novel.

We are currently at 412 orders, which is an amazing number as such, but still about 10% below the optimal figure at this stage. I’ll take the opportunity and thank Auntie Ilana, who joined our forces and started actively finding me readers.
Do you have what it takes to refer readers too? top referrers will get a prize (which admittedly I don’t know what it will be yet - but it will have something to do with the novel).

In case you forgot, the next 38 orders will grant you a place in the raffle of a character named after you!!
Furthermore, if you haven’t already checked James Rasile’s excellent novel Cape’s Side Bay and Brian Fitzpatrick’s ingenious Mechcraft, then you are missing out! Both (not)incidentally are top guys that are actively helping me find readers.

I’ll part with the best weekend wishes, and the usual "this is a great day to order a Spymaster and be part of the patron list inside the book" greeting.

All the best,

Joni D.

    Brian and Michelle Guthrie liked an update for The Punch Escrow

    Yesterday I was informed that The Punch Escrow will be the official inaugural selection for the Geek & Sundry collection on Inkshares! At this point I am still shocked that all of this is happening: That my book is getting published through Inkshares, on the Geek & Sundry imprint. I love you guys, I’ll never be able to give enough thanks for your help in making this happen.

    As for the book itself, I’m still in the midst of the first rewrite, currently in the midst of the eighth chapter, The Sky Cries Martyr. In case you want a window into what that looks like, here you go:

    As you can imagine, it’s a long and grueling, but living process. For example, even this screenshot is not up to date, as last night I got rid of the "eye cam" reference because it was redundant and slowed down the flow.

    Don’t let my pursuit of perfection worry you though, I think I’m well on pace to deliver the rewrite to Inkshares by my August 1 deadline. Once I do that I’ll be able to share a more concrete publication timeline. I’m really looking forward to working with Inkshares and Geek & Sundry on making this book the best it can be. You guys are awesome.

    -Tal

      Just focus on your project and don’t feel pressured to trade preorders. If you like a property, back it. If not, don’t.

        Brian and Michelle Guthrie liked an update for Welcome to Deadland

        Hello Readers!

        This is a really exciting time for both Welcome to Deadland and me! The book is in the final stages of approval (full dust jacket, internal design, eBook layout) before being sent to the printer in less than a week! I know it seems like ages ago since many of you backed Welcome to Deadland, and I want to thank you all for your patience as we’ve been working hard to get everything in place. The wait is almost over!

        Some of you might have seen Inkshares’s recent tweet with a link to their properties page. The purpose of this page is to allow for book properties to be tracked so producers/publishers/etc. can see what options are still available for purchase. This can range from foreign language rights, to film/tv rights, comic book adaptations and more. Even if you’re not someone in the market looking to acquire book rights, it’s a great way to see what other formats you can expect to see your favorite Inkshares books become available in. If you click on the link above you’ll even see Welcome to Deadland  listed along with other books, and a neat surprise!


        The audiobook rights have been sold to Audible! That’s right, in the near future not only will you be able to read Welcome to Deadland, but you’ll also be able to listen to it in the car, while working out, walking down the street or anywhere else!

        Thank you all so much for your interest in support,

        -Zac

          So... this happened.

          That’s G.(LORIOUS) Derek Adams, author of ASTEROID MADE OF DRAGONS, and myself (left) at XCON World Comic Convention in Myrtle Beach this past weekend. We sold some books, had some fun, and saw some fantastic cosplay (see below). 

          There also may or may not have been a lightly attended panel about crowdfunding hosted by those two handsome devils above.

          Also...this happened.

            

          SOOO...FRIENDLY REMINDER - Please review AGELESS on Amazon and Goodreads

          And, AGELESS ebook has been lowered to $2.99 for some time now. Share it with people you love! Or people that you hate...just get the word out. 

          Thanks everyone! KEEP SCROLLING FOR SOME COSPLAY!

            Brian and Michelle Guthrie liked an update for To Live and Die in Avalon

            Hey, everyone!

            As promised, I have recorded a reading of an unreleased chapter of the novel (chapter 8 to be precise)! This was in lieu of an issue of the Avalon Chronicler, but rest assured, there will be a new one of those later this week. 

            You can find the reading here: https://youtu.be/W6asDxKMyCw

            There is a little bit of setup for the scene I read (which is actually the second half of the chapter). It is about eleven minutes of audio and has some nice character interactions and offers a glimpse at the wasteland that Earth has become (appropriately enough, the background music is from Fallout 3). 

            We are still a bit far off from Quill, so if you haven’t pre-ordered yet, please do so! Those of you who have, thank you again for the support, please share with your networks so we can get the word out! Hopefully, this helps by way of letting the work speak for itself!

            Toward the end of this week, I will make some revisions to the first draft then send it out to my beta readers, print out a copy for myself and then go into serious editing mode to work toward a refined second draft. It’s very exciting to see it come this far and to see where it’s headed!

            Thanks again everyone and please, feel free to reach out to me directly via direct message, Twitter, Facebook or email!
