Thomas J. Arnold liked an update for Rune of the Apprentice
Masters and Apprentices!  Three pieces of exciting news!

  1. Maps!
  2. Blurbs!
  3. RUNE Short Story!

1. First off, M.S. Corley, the SUPER talented artist of RUNE’s cover has just completed his digital map renderings of my hand drawn originals! These awesome images will be printed on RUNE’s hardcover endsheets! I think he did a truly fantastic job of not only preserving all details of my originals, but also adding a wonderful elegance which perfectly matches RUNE’s cover! Well done, sir!




2. RUNE’s blurbs are coming in and I am SUPER humbled by the praise. See for yourself:

"RUNE is an epic journey about transforming the darkness within so that we can achieve true peace in the world around us." --Chade-Meng Tan, New York Times Bestselling Author of Joy on Demand and Search Inside Yourself

"Jamison Stone has created a vivid world filled with rich detail unlike any I’ve ever seen before. His diverse cast of engaging characters brings his vision to life so brightly that I cannot wait for the next installment. Don’t deny yourself this guilty pleasure." --Terry Mixon, author of The Empire of Bones Saga and The Humanity Unlimited Saga

"Jamison Stone’s writing style is clear, engaging, and highly recommended! In just the first chapter alone, Rune of the Apprentice will provide immediate immersion into a mystical and mysterious world which will keep you coming back for more." --Erik A. Lenderman, author of Principles of Practical Psychology

It is profoundly humbling knowing that those who have read RUNE have enjoyed it so greatly--and it fills my heart with joy knowing that SOON you all will have the same opportunity!



3. Lastly, our short story anthology "Too Many Controllers" has been green lit with full publishing by Inkshares! My story is set in the same world as Rune of the Apprentice and will offer a truly amazing sneak peek into not only the mysterious machinations of Terra’s angelic and deific Guardians, but also RUNE’s sequel, entitled Name Redacted>;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;! How exciting!

p.s. I hope to have some additional wonderful news in the days and weeks to come, but don’t want to ruin the surprise prematurely. All in all, RUNE has an exciting ride ahead of it, and it’s all because of you! Thank you, and most importantly, enjoy!

    Hello Everyone!

    After taking some time off following the conclusion of the contest I’ve decided to see if we can amass 250 pre-orders before the end of SQUIDS IN’s campaign in order to get this mad book published. I’ve even managed to convince Hendrix the octopus to hit the streets and drum up support.

    If you have any spare Inkshares credits or money that’s burning a hole in your pocket, you could do a lot worse then helping someone achieve publication.

    Thanks guys!

      Thomas J. Arnold liked a review for Sunshine is Forever
      What starts as an interesting choice for a young adult draft certainly lives up to its promises with a dramatic tone, efficient word choice, and compelling characters. I thought the introduction to this story is a rather dramatic one, which underscores and supports the narrative. Sunshine is Forever is a great read.

          The topic of depression can be bitter pill. Taken too seriously and you can bum out your readers, making them wonder why they’re reading your work in the first place. But Sunshine is Forever does a good job of balancing a depressed teenager’s viewpoint with a mix of satire and comic relief. I’m always drawn to works that have something to say, and I’m dying to know the mystery behind Hunter’s illness and how he grows as a character. I love the premise and potential of Sunshine is Forever. Fun Fact: You should support this book!

              Teenagers go through a lot of s... storm and stress. A thousand stories about teenage depression have already been told, but I guarantee you haven't read one as expertly crafted as "Sunshine is Forever" in a long time. Author Kyle T. Cowan gives his character, Hunter, a truly believable life and an authentic (and prematurely world-weary) voice that expresses it. The first chapter alone will not only leave you wondering what happened to Hunter that made him this way, it will make you sincerely worry over what will happen to him next. ...pretty much exactly like watching a teenager grow up.
