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!
- Nick & Noa

Oh, if you ordered A God In The Shed, thanks! There are only 5 more copies needed. Click the link and go buy it!
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!

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.
