Brian and Michelle Guthrie liked an update for Deus Hex Machina

Once upon a time I held a raffle every ten orders. Do you remember those days? They seem so long ago, when we were all young, and the book hadn’t even really started being a draft. Fun times.

Well now that I have come out of Camp Nanowrimo 2016 on the winning side, I am able to get back to some of the things that I put off...like this:

Yessiree, I’m shipping out the raffle prizes!

As soon as I get access to a car, I’ll be putting most of the signed copies of Shadow of the Owl in the mail. I still need to order a couple more, so there will be a round two of shipments happening over the course of the next few weeks.

Speaking of prizes, I wanted to update you all on the standings for my Street Team rewards. Currently the top five referrers are as follows:

1. Elizabeth Dewey: 30

2. Billy O’Keefe: 8

3. Jason Pomerance: 6

4. Joe Terzieva: 6

5. Danny Minin: 3

Congrats to Elizabeth Dewey, who’s blowing everyone out of the water! Think you can do better? Let’s find out!

Here’s a quick refresher on what prizes are available as Street Team rewards:

There are some awesome things in here, and I can’t wait to see who wins that grand prize. The trick is, the book has to fully fund for that to happen, and DHM is 500 orders away, with only 50 days left in the funding campaign. Who wants to help push this book toward the finish line?

Brian and Michelle Guthrie liked an update for The Life Engineered

Good day sentients!

I’ll get to the news in a moment, but first I want to do a little push. Again. Don’t worry, this one won’t cost you a penny, just a few moments of your time.

You know what’s awesome about books? The best part some would say? Being able to chat about the book with your friends. A lot of you enjoyed The Life Engineered and that fact brings me immeasurable joy. But what if we could get more people? I’m not going to ask you to promote The Life Engineered. I mean, talk about it, by all means, but what I want from you is help getting my book nominated for the Dragon Awards.

DragonCon is huge and these awards are going to be huge. Just getting a nomination would be a tremendous honour, and since these are submitted by readers like you, why not give it a shot?

Just check out the nomination page and enter The Life Engineered in the Science Fiction Novel field, fill in the rest with whatever you feel is deserving and voila! You’re done. You’ve helped me. And think of it this way; if I get nominated, I kind of have to go to DragonCon. So this is a way you can force me to spend money.

The News:

As you probably know by now, my second book A God in the Shed has reached its funding goal and will be published on Inkshares. Over the coming weekend I’ll be hard at work filling out the paperwork and doing a final polish to the manuscript before sending everything out to Inkshares for editing.

While Inkshares and Girl Friday Productions are working on all this, I’ll be finishing the first draft for ArchAndroid. This means that we are rapidly approaching the day when I call out for beta readers. Parallel to that, I’m preparing the funding campaign for ArchAndroid which is both a terrifying and exciting endeavour. I’m eager to get this book out there but terrified at doing another funding campaign.

Thanks again for your support my friends. I’m working on a little promotional thing with Inkshares to distribute some more signed prints to readers.

Cheers,

JF
