Various and Sundry Updates - TWO WEEKS until LAUNCH Edition
And yes, that is a Honey Badger shirt I’m wearing underneath to stealth-rep my Hufflepuff pride. I want to see ALL of you there - and it would be ever so nice if you would follow the link above and let the bookshop know you were planning on attending so they can adjust accordingly.
Backers are starting to message me that they LIKE THE BOOK. So very nice to hear, please keep that coming - but don’t be afraid to give it to me straight if there’s something you have beef with. You are the core demographic - you put your money and faith on the line, so I at the very least owe you a straight answer if something is stinky-cheese in the novel. -- Even if that answer will all too often be ’because I WANT there to be a JOKE THERE lololol’.
Actually, maybe you should avoid talking to me.
But! Thank you so much those of you that are already reading! And please please please - have your reviews ready for launch day.
It is important. Plenty more haranguing to come on this topic, so I’ll leave it there for now.
Also! - many of you have been so gracious to recommend the book to friends, families, nerds du jour - but have asked me if it is necessary or recommended to read my other books first. I’ve broached this before, but it bears repeating: Nope. AMOD is the first Avengers film - you don’t REALLY need to watch Iron Man 2 or the Thor movie to understand what’s going on and have a good time. Read AMOD first - or my other stuff first! Or in any order you choose. Characters, world, and some oh so enticing MEGA SECRET META-PLOT stuff persist - but each book, and AMOD in particular are designed to be enjoyed a la carte.
And now another great picture of me - to honor your support and sear your ocular nerve.
I think we’ve all read and understand that when you decide to become published under the Quill imprint you decide to pretty much go it alone with your marketing and that’s certainly fair. Here’s a scenario that we’re all not so secretly dreaming of; if a Quill title proves to be marketable, starts getting good traction and moves enough units is there a point at which you would extend marketing (and other media expansion) services to that title?
In short, can a title work it’s way out of the Quill house and into the Inkshares proper thereby earning all those benefits?
