Kendra Namednil liked an update for Sunshine is Forever

Hey Campers!

I just had a wonderful birthday weekend, and it ended in the best possible way. I received a blurb from Anthony Breznican, the author of one of my favorite books-Brutal Youth. Check out these great endorsments.


It’s starting to feel real. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts in August when you receive your copies.

Thanks so much!

    Kendra Namednil liked an update for Women Like Us

    Hi!  Long time no update!  But here’s a little bit of news!

    x

    Yep, an eBook sale!  If you haven’t purchased Women Like Us and you read on a Kindle or iPad, what are you waiting for?

    And if you have read the book, and you haven’t left a review on Amazon, please do so. Doesn’t have to be more than just a few words, but the more reviews the better.

    Oh, one more thing:  If you haven’t read about our beagle Derric’s book about his journey from Laboratory experiment to Freagle (free beagle!), here’s that link.  Check it out, why don’t ya?

    So that’s it for now.  Happy Reading!

        Kendra Namednil liked an update for The Walls are Closing In
        This is the final stretch! Just over 200 to go! 544 copies have sold, and a multitude of amazing people have come into my life and are now following the progress of The Walls are Closing In.  I officially have until June 30th to reach that finish line, but have set a personal goal of June 7th, because, well, summer can get a busy quickly, and it would be great to have a small break before production begins.

        I just had tea with a fellow Asheville writer, Kyle James, whose Inkshares book Not Afraid of the Fall, will be hitting shelves in July! It is uplifting to hear the story of someone who has traveled this path before me, and to see all of it come together. Hearing about his journey through the processes of developmental editing, copy editing, cover design, galley printing, and marketing, ensured me that the contract (and thus, all of the campaigning) is worth it! Check out his book, Not Afraid of The Fall, and if you are local, consider attending his publishing party at Malaprops on July 13th! I will be there!

        I am going to work on another video, this time of me talking about the book, to circulate around various social media channels. I’ll let you know when it is ready. Also I want to say a special thank you to those that have shared the book within their private Facebook groups. I have definitely seen some orders come from this! So, if anyone else has a Facebook group that they are a part of, that they think would be interested in the book, that would be helpful to push this to the finish line.

        Also, if you are following but are not sure if you have ordered yet, feel free to ask me - jacquicastle@gmail.com - and I can check on your status.

        Until next time,
        -Jacqui

          Great news today! I received the Rites of Passage syndicate award! This syndicate supports first time authors, and I couldn’t be more proud to be recognized this way. 

          I’ve submitted my manuscript markups to my development editor, and I like to imagine her pouring over them this week. Once I’ve heard back from her, I’ll move on to reworking sections of my manuscript, adding and deleting scenes, and changing back to the original point of view. It’s going to be a lot of work, but well worth it in the end. :)

          Cheers, Debbie

            Kendra Namednil liked an update for Where the Sun Sets

            What I love most about Maria’s drawing technique is the balance she strikes between stylistic interpretation and realistic detail. Her innate sense of what’s too little and what’s too much resonates with me, it always has, which is why I’m so excited to be partnering with her in this way. Like me, she’s learning as she goes (or, as my partner Michael would say, she’s building the plane while flying it). Maria’s making great progress, and her illustrations look fantastic!

            For those of you who missed Maria’s introduction in my last update, you can catch the video here.

            I’ll be receiving my editor’s comments on May 3, which basically makes me this owl, right now, and for every second until then.

            (Very exciting. Blink blink. I might puke I’m so nervous.)

            Also exciting, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau paid Kitchener a visit yesterday. The folks at Vidyard hosted him. They took him on a tour of the office and chatted about many things.

            I had the pleasure of tuning in to watch the livestream of the chat, which was fantastic (full recording here: http://demos.vidyard.com/watch/7VRMFw6CbkSfmFfPTsaaRH).

            To everyone who pitched in to make yesterday seem so dreamy from the stands: Congratulations on doing an incredible job of hosting our country’s leader. Thank you for making such a lasting and positive impression. I’m proud to be part of a community where members push themselves to be compassionate and thoughtful, take risks, and behave transparently. 

            End of news.

            You can probably surmise that the phrase ’Your book is in the mail’ is my dearest haunt. I can’t wait for the moment when I get to call you up (email or text, more likely) and say those words. So I thank you for your continued patience and understanding. Most of all, I want to thank you for reading!

            Now for some fun bits... ;)

            Maria’s creative process has been fascinating to observe. I mentioned how, like me, she’s figuring things out as she goes. Maria’s had to stretch her limits to overcome challenges, and in doing so, has developed her own techniques (read: hacked solutions together and I love it). 

            It’s my pleasure to be sharing with you some of her midstream work.

            (^ ERMAGHERD!)


            I hope you’re tantalized by these small flashes. Stay tuned for more detail in updates to come!

              The "Holy Grail" was simply a legend, but when it fell into the wrong hands--the world ended. Nothing grew from the earth, people died, and the land shattered. Mankind is now on their knees--striving to survive in the dying world and from themselves.
