James Rasile liked an update for Storm Song

Good morning, sailors!

I couldn’t let it slip by to miss making another update because W O W! Storm Song has been holding the #1 spot for almost 24 hours! I may or may not have cried a little when I saw my name at the top of the leaderboard.

Thank you all so, so, SO much for pre ordering and promoting. I cannot express my gratitude enough.

I’m heading out of town for a long weekend to visit with one of my very best friends. I’ll still be around to check in on things here, but I wanted to sneak another update in to thank you all before I am whisked away on my own adventure for the next few days.

We’re only 11 pre orders away from chapters 4 and 5 being added to the page! Grab a friend! Get them to join the crew and come aboard!

Okay... That’s enough pirate puns for one update...

Seriously, the last week and a half has been amazing. I’m still reeling from the idea that my dreams of telling Thoster’s story may become a reality. Thank you again! I adore you all, truly.

James Rasile liked an update for SideScroller

Hello Inkshare pals.

I want to apologize for how absent I’ve been this month. I wish I could say it was because the contest ended, but it’s actually worse than that.

A few weeks ago I was informed by the police that my father had passed away alone in his apartment. He was only 56. Needless to say, SideScroller got stuffed into the backseat, making way for funeral preparations and estate management and all that fun stuff. I’m still in the midst of settling all his affairs as we speak.

However, I felt I owed it to all of you to at least give you an update as to where I’ve been & what I’ve been doing. Every once in a while I still hand out SideScroller flyers around the city of Toronto, but it’ll be a while before I can get back in the saddle and take those reins properly.

Until that time comes, I just want to say to all of you: THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart, for all the support you’ve given to me and my little book. Every time I saw SideScroller get pre-ordered my face lit up like a Christmas tree.

Now, I’m gonna finish settling all the estate business, get back to writing, and make Dad proud.

Cheers,

Andrew Fantasia

James Rasile liked an update for The Space Between

A week has passed! Time for your update, fine folk:

1. Work update: Chapter 1 is complete, and will be posted as soon as I finish writing this. As is the case with many, if not most, of these authors, I am a team of one - nothing fancy happening in production here. I have also been having some difficulty retaining my formatting when I upload work here. Thus, if you spot a formatting error (i.e., something that should be in italics but isn’t), please let me know. I am also in the process of searching for a cover artist - people like pretty things, and I would like my work to become one.

2. Syndication: As some of you may have noticed, I have joined a syndicate! Husband (and Merlin) and I sat down and reworked the budget so that I can afford a book a month. As periodic windfalls come in, I’ll be able to pre-order on my own as well, but otherwise, make yourself known to the Nomad Syndicate if you’re a fantasy author, and hopefully we can make some completely platonic and literary magic together!

3. Non-Inkshares Recommendation: As some of you may have noticed, each day I recommend one piece of work and review another book here on Inkshares. Given my rather weak financials, this is the way I feel I can best give back to the Inkshares community that has been so supportive thus far. However, to give you a little taste of what kind of books I’m into (and also what influences likely seep into my own work), I thought I’d give one non-Inkshares book recommendation per week. This week’s is my all-time favourite fantasy series: The Fionavar Tapestry, by Guy Gavriel Kay. I wish I had words to describe this trilogy properly, but I simply don’t. It is epic, magical, and yet extremely real. Although he typically writes historical fantasy, this high fantasy work will likely always remain my favourite by him.

4. We’ve gone into the double-digits in pre-orders! Yay! This is already staggering support as far as I’m concerned. Still, for those people to get their books, I have to shoot for more. If you’ve been waiting for more content before committing, keep your eyes open for new chapters coming out over the next few weeks (today included).

Thank you all, and best wishes!
