Tony Valdez liked an update for Sunshine is Forever

Hey Campers! 

It’s Sunday Funday, which means that today might be the perfect day to preorder Sunshine is Forever if you haven’t already. Dive into the first few chapters of the book, and get lost for a bit. 

Also, if you like TV, you will be able to see me again in tonight’s episode of Preacher on AMC. I promise it’s a great episode. 

Anyway, thank you again for the support! Please keep spreading the word about my book to your friends so that I make it to the publishing goal.

You are all the best!

    Tony Valdez liked an update for Murder at the Veterans’ Club

    Dear friends and followers,

    The summer heat leaches the energy from you and leaves you panting after all the things you thought you’d be able to do now that the days are longer and you have the free time. It will be better, I think, to accept that everyone needs a break, and step away from the campaign for a bit. Well, step further away, at any rate: I’ve already taken a step away for the summer. (And yet here I am, still updating....)

    For the next week, I will be focussing on writing this second Peterkin text adventure. So, here’s the deal:

    The first six people to pre-order between now and next Monday will get the option to have a character in the game named after them.

    (This includes the victim, the murderer, an innocent suspect, and the police detective to whom the player must voice their suspicions.)

    Meanwhile, what’s happening on the shelves of Inkshares?

    1) "Terminus", by Jaye Milius. Imagine if you could call up the dead with a simple scientific procedure. Milius explores some of the ... interesting developments that could arise from the existence of such a procedure. Frankly, they look intriguing as all hell.

    2) "Proxy", by Rebekka S. Leber. A different take on the cycle of life and death: what if the total number of souls were finite? The writing looks crisp and confident, and the heroine full of character. This adds up to an engaging story, no matter what.

    Just a short update this time. Everyone involved with "Too Many Controllers" is watching for news from the Nerdist panel with bated breath, and I have nerves I need to defray. Until next week (and that update may be a couple of days late) keep reading, and have fun.

      Tony Valdez liked an update for Blue Water

      Hey everyone, just a quick note to let you know that if you have preordered BLUE WATER already, and we hit our goal of breaking preorder #100 by midnight tonight, I’ll be sending along a link for you to download the first three chapters.  If you haven’t preordered yet, and you are one of the ones that put us over 100, you get the first three chapters as well!  So if you want to help out, let all your friends and family and neighbors and co-workers and pets know that we need only 12 more preorders to get there.  But we need them TODAY!

      Send everyone to http://www.inkshares.com/books/blue-water and help us break a milestone.  

      Thank you all,

      Joseph

          Tony Valdez liked an update for Blue Water

          Today I’m excited to reveal our new cover for BLUE WATER.  Our old one was designed in roughly five minutes to replace the generic cover Inkshares gives you when you start your book page.  And since everything with the first campaign was done in haste, designing a cover never really occurred to me.  The first campaign fizzled out, and the old cover just sat there.

          Then we started the new campaign, and there it was still.  Boring, not eye catching, not even sized properly.  Nothing but the title giving a hint about the tone of the book, some blurry design behind it, just letting the potential reader glance past it without noticing.  And being that Inkshares is a game of getting noticed, it was doing me no favors.  And by doing me no favors, it was doing you no favors, because if it doesn’t get seen it doesn’t published, and you don’t get to read it.

          So, with that in mind, I set out to design something that would jump off the screen and grab attention.  Hopefully, I’ve done that.  

          Whaddaya think?

            Tony Valdez liked an update for Women Like Us

            Quick note to backers who received eBook for iPad, Kindle or Nook:  Inkshares has sent a new version of the eBook because a couple of small errors were spotted after the conversion from the final digital proofs to the eBook file. If you’ve already downloaded and started to read, no worries -- I’m probably the only person who will notice anyway!! However, if you haven’t, please use the new version. 

            Thanks, all!!

              Tony Valdez liked an update for Squids In

              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.

              https://www.inkshares.com/books/squids-in

              Thanks guys!

              Matthew

                Tony Valdez 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!
