Hi Joseph! There are quite a few people around these parts who are interested and invested in making Inkshares the best it can be, but they can only do so much at once. I’m sure the list of suggestions we’ve sent them is about a mile long by now! One thing you can count on is that the website and the process will be constantly evolving. I’m sorry you’re frustrated; I hope you find some value in this forum while you wait for improvements to happen. :)

    Greetings! Time for an update! Wizard World 2016 Wrap up!

    Last weekend I had my first booth at Wizard World in Chicago, and I’d like to give a thanks to everyone who was a part of that. Particularly BaconMooseComics for allowing me to share half our corner booth. 

    If you want to see all our pictures of the amazing cosplay we found and our booth set up, go ahead and click :Here: go ahead and hit "like" on that page if you want. 

    In other news, Inkshares has been hard at work figuring out the best date to release the book, and that means things got changed. 

    The book’s official release date is now 1/17/17. If there were 17 months in a year, I really would of tried to get it there.. 

    Either way, this extra time allows me to conjure up some more conventions, articles, and start writing the sequel, Dystopia. 

    Until next week!

      DAX FANS! ...Hey, does my forehead look huge in this photo? Stupid phone cameras. Grrr...

      I HAVE AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! As always, I must thank my backers for your continued patience and apologize for the delays.

      For those not in the know, I handed in my completed manuscript at the beginning of July. Unfortunately, it was roughly around this same time that Inkshares began going through some organizational changes.

      DON’T BE ALARMED! I have been assured that my book will in fact be published as promised, and you will eventually have your copy in your hands and/or on your e-reading devices of choice. What I still don’t know is WHEN.

      To make a long story short, Inkshares has been going through some growing pains, and they have quite a backlog of books waiting to be published. I have not been informed where I stand in this long line exactly, but I understand the Inkshares team is hard at work squeezing everyone in on their production calendar. I thank the Inkshares staff for their service, and I do not envy their herculean task at hand.

      Now, let me get to the point. I have a story, and I want to share it with you awesome folks who were gracious enough to buy it. And I know some of you are itching to read it, judging by my daily encounters of "HEY, TONY! WHERE’S THE BOOK?!"

      So, if you have purchased a copy of Dax Harrison, you can expect an email from me soon. Check you inbox over the next day or so for the subject line "DAX HARRISON - The Early Ebook Edition".

      If you choose to read the story at this time, here’s a couple things to keep in mind:

      First, the book has not yet been professionally copyedited. Meaning, you may run into the occasional grammatical error, weird sentence structure, etc. I’d like to think I was thorough, but it happens.

      Second, I would love your feedback! If you like my silly little sci-fi tale, please leave a review on Inkshares! I would love to direct you to leave reviews on Amazon and Goodreads as well, but those pages won’t exist until we get closer to publishing.

      Reviews = more eyes on the book = more books sold = Tony gets to write more books!

      I will keep you all informed on the publishing news as soon as I have it. For those of you that prefer to wait for the official ebook/paperback of Dax, I hope I won’t have to keep you waiting too much longer.

      Thanks again! You’re the best. Now I’m off to outline some more of Dax 2: Space Boogaloo. (No, that is not the actual title)

      -Tony

        You know how in Parks and Rec when they’re in city council meetings, and Jeremy Jamm says something like,

        "Let the record show, there was a standing ovation," and there wasn’t?

        Well... let the record show, I sent out my manuscript to my beta readers on the 1-year anniversary of my joining Inkshares!

        Haha jk no I didn’t, I sent the first half of it out LAST NIGHT!



        I’m so excited, you guys. SO. EXCITED. And nervous. But mostly excited. I really think there are at least a few people out there who will end up truly loving my story and characters, and my brilliant and generous beta readers will increase my book’s chance of reaching those people.

        The first half of my book is 82K words long, so it’s plenty for them to chew on. (My book is long, okay? It is full of wonder and emotion and excitement, so I’m hoping it is the good kind of long - the kind where you don’t want it to end, even after 150K words.)

        Here are the episode titles for the entire book, for your intrigue:

        Episode I: Wake
        Episode II: Ally
        Episode III: Foe
        Episode IV: Earth
        Episode V: Consequences
        Episode VI: Tower
        Episode VII: Prophecy
        Episode VIII: Rest
        Episode IX: Rescue
        Episode X: Whole
        Episode XI: Dock
        Episode XII: Wake

        ***

        Alex and I will be finishing up the second half of She Is the End in the next few weeks and sending them out to betas, as well. Then... while we wait... I will be doing the illustrations for the book! I think I’ll do one illustration per episode, maybe two here and there, and it’s going to be a lot of work. I’ll keep you updated on my progress and probably give away a few more of the originals as a prize.

        Stay tuned!
