Joseph Asphahani liked an update for An Unattractive Vampire

Dear Readers,

Or should I say...Listeners? For behold, thanks to the magic of Inkshares and Drew Campbell’s British accent...

An Unattractive Vampire is on Audible!!! 

Thank you to everyone at Inkshares, Audible, and Mr. Campbell for making this happen. 

So I know you’re all thinking: "Jim, I need this for my sound holes, but money has decided (literally) to see other people right now." Well, here’s a thing: Audible sponsors just about every podcast in existence. They offer so many deals and promos, it’s kind of ridiculous. For example: Lore podcast, Hardcore History, and Blurry Photos all offer trial codes. So yes, listen to awesome inspiring podcasts and when you’re done, listen to my book as well.

Also, just a reminder that the Dragon Awards are quickly approaching, so time is running out to VOTE for Inkshares/Sword and Laser books including The Life Engineered, Asteroid Made of Dragons, and, of course, An Unattractive Vampire which also all happen to be available in e-book for the special low-low price of 99 cents until the end of the month. (Completely coincidental, I assure you. *WINK*) So please, vote for An Unattractive Vampire because what could be better than mixing vampires and dragons?

    Joseph Asphahani liked an update for Tantalus Depths

    My baby nephew Davy is enjoying the existential cosmic horror and paranoid psychological thrills of Tantalus Depths, as well as the hard science-fiction setting and the themes of isolation and triumph through adversity. You’ll like it too!


    No, but really, you’ll like it. Order a copy.

    And don’t forget: through the end of the month, anyone who orders a physical copy of Tantalus Depths or refers someone else who orders a copy will be entitled to recieve this free Van Gogh inspired Tantalus Depths poster! It’s exclusive, it’s limited-edition, and it’s awesome. Don’t miss out on this!

      Joseph Asphahani liked an update for Deus Hex Machina

      Today is a big day, one that I have been dreading and anticipating in equal measure. Today, I officially start editing Deus Hex Machina and building my second draft.

      Here’s what the process looks like. Staples is now my spirit animal: 

      For the next 30 days it’s my plan to implement the changes I have noted down on those little blue cards, honing my first draft into a stronger, more coherent second. When that is done, I will be more than ready to move from alpha reading into beta. As before, let me know if you’re interested.

      Once I have the second draft returned from beta readers I’ll hash out a third draft, and then I should be ready to submit to Inkshares by the end of the year. For those that like timelines (and so that I have some accountability for my process) here is what I have planned for the next year:



      Like any plan, this will probably change around a bit. Generally though, I am planning to write two books a year, and fund one novel in each series. This doesn’t include other projects I want to be part of, collaborations like Too Many Controllers and Makhaira, so my schedule is going to need to be a little fluid should something awesome come up that I want to take part in. I’m also toying with the idea of funding Shadow of the Owl again before I  fund the sequel. There is just something very appealing about having the entire series under the Inkshares publishing umbrella. 

      Speaking of series, for those of you curious minded folks out there, Deus Hex Machina is a trilogy, and Shadow of the Owl et al is a series with six books planned.
      So if you look at that calendar, you’ll be able to extrapolate out and figure out what I have planned for the year after that. 


      TL;DR: Lots of writing will be happening, mostly in my two main series so if you’re eager to find out what happens to Mylena or Isidore, fear not, books are coming.

       If you have any questions, comment here or hit me up on Twitter @amandaorneck.

      Enjoy the silence!

        Joseph Asphahani liked an update for The Living God

        Hello all!

        I have a treat for you! You guys have been great, and I thought I would share with you the prologue and first chapter for a story I worked on while taking a break from The Living God. It was a NaNoWriMo project from two years ago.

        The Seven Kings:
        Nina learned many things when she died and woke in Argaros. The first was that Death was dead and the delicate balance of Purgatory had been destroyed. The second was that she had been there many times before.

        25 years since awakening in Argaros, Nina has settled in the capital city Mourning, acquainting herself with the art of theater and thievery while working at Orthen’s Solace House. One day, Aris, ruler of Purgatory, summons the Solace House to entertain the Seven Kings. It is there that the curse of Nina’s many lives surfaces and sets her on a quest to bring Death back. A quest she’s failed every time before.
