Dave Barrett liked an update for Practical Applications For Multiverse Theory

Hey Errrrrbody.

Tomorrow is the big day! Practical Applications for Multiverse Theory will fight its way through the birth canal that is book printing and distribution and be available for all the world to cuddle and read, with no pesky afterbirth to deal with.

To celebrate this momentous occasion we’re throwing a book release signing/reading/Q&A at The Wild Detectives book store in the Bishop Arts District of Dallas, TX!

Come by, get your book signed, ask us some questions, and overall just help us not feel lonely.

If you’ve already read the book, don’t forget to leave a review over on Amazon!

See you tomorrow!

    Dave Barrett liked an update for Deus Hex Machina

     Hiya hexers,

    I have a few things brewing today that I wanted to let you know about.  First of all is this contest over on my FB page: https://www.facebook.com/amanda.orneck/posts/10209494310658402 Head on over to enter to win a Church of Technology pendant, and like the page while you’re there, will ya? 

    Secondly, I’ve sent out the first back-only chapter update this morning. If you want to be able to read chapter 4 (and 5 through 9 when they’re done), go ahead and back the project today. We’re only 31 orders away from Quill, so DHM could definitely use the support.

    Anyway, back to writing!

        Dave Barrett liked an update for A God in the Shed

        I don’t usually do two updates in one day but...

        WE FUNDED!

        So let me make something clear: I use the term ’we’ when talking about this campaign because while I write the book, it’s your support and encouragement that makes it happen. These aren’t empty words meant to artificially include you and make you feel like part of the process. The whole point of Inkshares is that this is a community effort. A symbiotic endeavour between reader and writer to help create works of fiction and bring them to the public.

        There are a lot of people who have gone above and beyond for this to happen and I’d like to highlight at least three that can benefit immediately from your support:

        John Robin, the author of Blood Dawn, spearheaded community efforts to rally people together after I called for help from fellow authors. John is a hard working writer and a helluva guy. Check out Blood Dawn and support it.

        Andre Brun, my CEGEP buddy and author of Lies & Deception campaigned for me harder than I could campaign for myself. He leveraged his own book and his salesmanship skills to gather a ton of pre-orders and get A God in the Shed in front of many new pairs of eyes. Lies & Deception is a terrifyingly ambitious book that deserves your attention. Check it out.

        Paul Inman, my cohost on WriteBrain and author of Ageless also lent a hand and was a big part of the community, leveraging the release of his own book to help get visibility for A God in the Shed. Check out Ageless, I read it and thoroughly enjoyed it.

        Finally, let me plug my buddy Brian Guthrie who was a great help and is currently participating in the Geek & Sundry Hard SciFi contest on Inkshares. Check out his book After Man and support it with all your heart (and pre-orders).

        More soon as thing develop and, as promised:

        JF

          Hey folks

          By now, most (or all) of you should have received your copy (or copies) of Nomfiction. We hope you love the book as much as we do.

          The first time we saw them in person was at AWP16 in Los Angeles at the beginning of April, where we the good fortune of selling a bunch and the even better fortune of meeting a few of the authors face to face.

          For those of you who got in on the Prix Fixe offer and ordered more than one copy, your adventure isn’t over. Each of one you will get Nomfiction tote (or possibly poster or t-shirt) from Litographs, and we’re going to draw a few other prizes as well: custom recipe cards, a Nomfiction apron, and dinner in Toronto with the Little Fiction | Big Truths crew and some of our Nomfiction authors (travel and lodging not included). These prizes are subject to change, but rest assured that if they do, we’ll still get you something awesome.

          Thank you again for helping us bring Nomfiction into print. We obviously couldn’t have done it without you.

          If you’re so inclined, please take to Amazon and Goodreads and say something nice about the book. We, and all the authors, would love you even more for it.

          And a couple of final notes…

          If you ordered our music anthology, A Mixtape Of Words, it’s coming soon(ish). The book is still in production but is nearing completion. Stay tuned.

          In the meantime (and if you haven’t already), please check out our third book here at Inkshares, a nonfiction tech anthology called Re/Coded. It’s a unique and varied look at the many different ways technology has helped / messed up our lives — with work by Ray Shea, Stacey May Fowles, Lindsay Gates-Markel, and many other fantastic writers. We think you’ll like it.

          That’s us for now.

          Happy reading,

          your LF | BT crew

            Hello there faithful companions! 

            I come bearing gifts! 

             (These are not my hands, in case there was any confusion)

            In this modern age, it can be hard to find time to crack open your freshly downloaded ebook version of Ageless. But do not fear, because I have come to your aid and brought with me the opening three chapters in the form of an audio sample read and recorded by yours truly. Now, listen while you drive, run, walk, sit, cook, eat, cut your grass, tie your shoes, roll your eyes at the annoying neighbors, scale a mountain, scale a fish, scale a dragon ...you get the point. 

            OVER AN HOUR OF THE BOOK READ TO YOU! (just enough to really hoooooook you in! And, according to the ebook and ABSOLUTELY no studies, that hook point is about 13% of the total book)

            Just CLICK THIS LINK and download your audio excerpt of Ageless by Paul Inman (that’s me)

            ****Takes a break from the Ageless promoting****

            Ok. Here’s the deal...

            There’s a project that’s nearing its funding goal that I’d like to bring your attention to. It still needs a little over 180 pre-orders to get full funding on Inkshares. I think it’s worth your attention and I hope you’ll agree. Check it out:

             

             

            A God in the Shed by J-F Dubeau is a Fantasy/Horror story set in the forgettably small village of St-Ferdinand, in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. The villagers have been hiding terrible secret for generations, but when their mysterious captive escapes but gets inadvertently trapped in the McKenzy’s backyard shed, it’s up to the Venus and her friends to figure out how to dispose of this terrible and malevolent burden; an Old God of hate and death.

             

            You can find out more about this dark and beautiful, read sample chapters, reviews and pre-order you copy of A God in the Shed by visiting: www.inkshares.com/books/a-god-in-the-shed

             

            You can listen to the prologue as read by Ageless author Paul Inman (yes the same Paul Inman, me) here: youtu.be/XJw5oZhqtXo

             

            Need more incentive?

            •Each pre-order enters you into the ‘I want to kill a reader’ raffle. The winner will have his name and likeness used in the book as a minor character that gets killed off. The author will work with the winner to find the appropriate means of demise to satisfy both the winner and the story.

            •Each physical copy of A God in the Shed will be signed and numbered as an exclusive first edition item.

            •Free, exclusive A God in the Shed bookmarks will be included with the physical copies and mailed to eBook supporters.

            •Orders of three or more copies guarantees your name to appear in the Patrons list printed at the end of the book.

            •You get to enjoy the satisfaction and pride at having supported both art and literature.

             

            A God in the Shed is the first part of a trilogy that pushes the line between beauty and horror by telling a story that changes how we look at magic and the world around us. You have a chance of being part of making this book a reality and supporting a new author on his journey.

             

            However, time is running out! The campaign ends April 22nd. Don’t miss out and order today!

              Dave Barrett liked an update for Monkey Business

              Here’s the thing Ladies and Gents, 

              JF Dubeau and Paul Inman do a podcast called WriteBrain. In one of the recent episodes they interviewed Mr. G Derek Adams, author of Asteroid made of Dragons. Derek said something that struck home with me which was basically, the best way to promote your stuff is to make more stuff. I like that. I’m not great at writing these updates. Or blogging. Or social networking in a constructive way. I just like writing stuff that makes me laugh. In that spirit, I’m just going to share some stuff and I hope you like it. If you like it I hope you’ll check out my book and perhaps share my book. Either way I hope it gives you a laugh.

              AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.


              Dear Gillette Company,

              As a loyal customer of yours for many years, I am writing now with a few questions. I hope you will be able to satisfy my curiosity and maybe give me some helpful hints that will lead to a more enjoyable shaving experience.

              1. Why do your razors cost so much? I spend more on your razors than I spend on gasoline. Granted that is because I ride a bicycle and only use gas for huffing purposes. But I think you take my meaning. Did you know that in China, I can buy an iPhone for $17 American dollars through a vending machine? But still your razors cost me $19.95 for a pack of 10?

              Not to knock your fine product, but an iPhone is a GPS enabled computer that can fit in my pocket, while all your product has to do is be sharp. Being sharp is a technological advancement we mastered roughly 4,000 years ago.

              What’s the deal man? If I have to give up either shaving or huffing gas, I think you know which one it will be, but I’m going to get a lot of gas in my beard.

              2: Is it possible for you to coat your Men’s razors with some kind of anti-lady chemical? When my wife uses my razor on her legs it gets very dull and it hurts my face. Could it perhaps shock her if she tries to shave her armpits with it?

              3: Why so many blades? I’ll give you three blades. Fine, I get it, you like a ménage à trois of cutting action. Who doesn’t? But four blades? Five blades? This is getting ridiculous. I don’t need a blade orgy on my face. How am I supposed to control that many blades? Have the blades become self-aware? That many blades makes it seem like they’re plotting something and I don’t like it.

              4. Why did you have to take the printer ink industry under your wing? Why did you school them in the ways of market manipulation? Your whole “give away the product but the refills are marked up 600%” philosophy? Thanks to you people I often find ink-jet printers in my breakfast cereal, but have to take out a second mortgage if I want to buy enough ink to print my "Why Razor Blades Are So Expensive" pie charts in color.

              Not cool Gillette. Not cool.

              5. Is there an official Gillette advice guide on how a man can shave his "private areas?" I don’t mind telling you that I’m having some trouble. There have been some minor accidents and in case you are unaware, that entire area is pretty venous. Prone to bleeding is what I’m getting at. If you can help me out at all, I would really appreciate it. I’m going through a lot of underwear.

              6. May I have some free Gillette MACH3 Turbo razors? There’s no compelling reason for you to give me free razors. But there’s no really compelling reason for you to NOT give me free razors.

              You’re going to give some jerk free razors this week, it might as well be me.

              In closing, thank you for your fine, sharp, razors which have been scraping hair from my body for decades. I wish you well, please stop adding blades, please give me free razors and you had better hope nobody invents an iPhone app that can remove hair from my body.

              Oh and while we’re at it, please order a copy of my novel, Monkey Business and share it with all the fine people who use your razors. They’re clearly got money to burn.

              Sincerely,
              Landon Crutcher
