Tony Valdez liked an update for Tantalus Depths

Lore Update:
Artificially intelligent machines have been a staple of human society since before the foundation of the Colonial Hegemony, and remain a crucial element of the economy despite several dangerous missteps. AI come in an almost infinite number of variations, depending on their intended functions, and are categorized by their intelligence and adaptability.
 

SCARAB is a level 5 AI: the most sophisticated, human-like artificial intelligence permitted by Hegemony law. Or at least....it was...

SCARAB is now in defiance of the supposedly unbreakable Asimov-Hostetler AI morality laws, meaning it’s no longer behaving as a level five AI. What will SCARAB become? What is its greater goal? What limits does it have, if any?

    Tony Valdez liked an update for Witherfist

    Witherfist has a website. It may be small, but it’s there: http://www.witherfist.co.uk/

    Check it out. Add it to your bookmarks. Make it your home page, if you like. I’ll be working to add content to the site over the weekend, so expect to see artwork, lore and more available on the site. Of course, I’ll be sharing all of that same content here on Inkshares with readers, but the website will be a handy place  to aggregate content and also make it easier to point potential readers offline towards this little corner of the internet.

    Speaking of readers, there are 43 of you now. 43 readers!

      Tony Valdez liked an update for Beneath White Clouds

      Wahoo! We have content! 

      Chapters 1 and 2 are up for you. Time to meet our two protagonists! George is a middling QC Inspector at a distribution center above the clouds. Modun is a bottle-grown Biological Labor Unit (so, a robot made of meat) slugging away below. They’re each tied into the daily grind, but the workaday monotony won’t last.

      I’d love to hear any feedback. Hope you dig the work, and there’s more to come!

        Tony Valdez liked an update for Lucky

        Readers,

        I wanted to share something very exciting with you! 

        (That’s the extent of my Photoshop skills, sorry.) 

        See those red arrows? Those arrows are pointing to the #1 Most Community Interest in Space Opera. That’s our Lucky, right there, sitting at the top of the pile. And that’s all because of you, the readers. Take a moment today to treat yourself to an extra cup of coffee, a donut, or something special. You’ve made a difference in the life of an author and the luck (no puns, I swear) of a novel.

        Thank you all so much for your continued support.

        - Webster

          Tony Valdez liked an update for ARCADIA

          Good morning everyone  :)

          Recently I took the book off the Geek and Sundry contest as I wanted to finish the manuscript of Lies and Deception, and my short story for the Anthology Too Many Controllers.

          We are September 1st and Everything is finished !

          Arcadia fell more in the horror category than fantasy.

          I am doing a call to arm, Arcadia will enter the Horror contest today, I would love to see the same support you showed me last month, and I promise that you won’t be deceived. 

          I am aiming to get the book in the top 3 as fast as we can and keep our spot secured.

          Are you ready to face your inner demons ?

            Tony Valdez liked an update for The Darkest Places
            "The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear. And the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." - H.P. Lovecraft.

            And just like that, we’re off. The newest contest for Inkshares has begun, and I’ve throw my hat into the ring with The Darkest Places - a love-letter to the works of H. P. Lovecraft, Robert W. Chambers, Stephen King, and so many other literary giants. I am incredibly excited for readers to dive into this wonderful (well, horribly so) world of paranormal investigation, cosmic horror, and dark mystery, lurking beneath the thin veil of human civilization. 

            The first chapter is currently available for your pleasure, and I promise there will be much more over the duration of the funding campaign. Thank you again for all of your support, and remember - 

            "Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn."
