Hey Everyone!

It’s been a long time without an update. I’ll do my best to make this brief as to not overwhelm.

• Weaponized copy edit was completed a few weeks back. I spent last night approving the final designed proof. So the typesetter should be making the final changes this week.
  
• This means Weaponized will be in your hands on October 31st.
• The book is real and I’m damn proud of the final version.
• Early praise for the book has been incredibly flattering. I’ll spare you the details but you can see one of the pull-quotes right on the front cover.
• The cover has been redesigned and looks so damn good I can barely handle it.
• The collected graphic novel of my comic book, The Dregs, hit stands everywhere today. You can purchase a copy here.
• Finally, comics is where you’ll find me post-Weaponized. I can’t say much just yet but I’ve got three new comic book series hitting in 2018. Some of those books should be announced at New York Comic Con on October 5th - 8th. Attending? Hit me up on the show floor.

That’s it!

Until next time!

Yesterday I got the clearance from editing master extraordinaire Matt Harry to start writing my final draft of Deus Hex Machina. Today I built my new editing scene list to help as a roadmap for what I’ll be doing for the next month. As you can see, most of the book is changing in some way, although a lot of the changes are going to be minor.  I love this part of the process: Getting to dive into the book, polish up the rough edges and round out the wonky corners. It’s like falling in love with the story in a completely new way.

I’m unsure what happens once I’m done with this draft, so for the moment I’m going to assume that I go into an edit phase like the rest of my cohort. My guess is that such an edit will be very brief because we spent so much time upfront preparing for the 4th draft writing phase. 

I can’t help but smile to think how far Isidore RAM has come. I am so proud of this little book, I can’t wait for you to get a chance to read it.

Cheers,

Amanda

Thanks so much for supporting Sunshine is Forever. I hope you enjoyed it. I wanted to ask you to preorder my follow up book—KARID. I really enjoyed my experience with Inkshares, but in order to publish with them again I need to get 750 preorders on KARID, too.

PREORDER HERE: https://www.inkshares.com/books/karid

KARID is about two brothers, with powers, who have been in hiding for years. After the elderly are executed and the youth are enslaved, the brothers must come out of hiding to unite a rebellion against an evil dictator. If you like Hunger Games, Ember in the Ashes, Divergent, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, or 1984 you will enjoy the KARID series. 

PREORDER HERE: https://www.inkshares.com/books/karid

Pricing during the preorder phase is as follows:

E-book $10.00 (you will get the E-book before release)

All paperbacks will be signed and numbered limited editions of the book $20.00

Preorder 3 paperbacks and get your name at the back of the book plus a signed 27X40in Camouflage poster for your wall $60.00

Preorder 10 paperbacks and get your name at the back of the book plus a signed 27X40in Camouflage poster and a signed 27X40in Sunshine is Forever poster for your wall $200.00

The faster I get to 750 preorders, the faster Inkshares can get to work on designing another great book. I hope Sunshine is Forever pleased you and that you will preorder my next book so I can continue my career.
