Brian and Michelle Guthrie liked an update for The Seventh Age: Dawn

It’s an Editing Party! As of today I have my next round of Copy Edits to begin. They are due back on May 3rd. Now, the exiting thing about Copy Editing is it’s the round where all of my horrible typing and grammar style mistakes are cleaned up and polished into one rabidly bad-ass vampire manuscript.

I can’t seriously tell you how excited I am about having my work chopped and cleaned up by professional editors. Alright, that aside. I have a little bit of Inkshares promotion below for a fellow authors book that I ordered a bunch of copies of a while back.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There’s a project that’s nearing its funding goal that I’d like to bring your attention to. It still needs a little over 70 pre-orders to get full funding onInkshares. I think it’s worth your attention and I hope you’ll agree. Check it out:

A God in the Shedby J-FDubeauis a Fantasy/Horror story set in theforgettablysmall village of St-Ferdinand, in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. The villagers have been hiding terrible secret for generations, but when their mysterious captive escapes but gets inadvertently trapped in theMcKenzy’sbackyard shed, it’s up to the Venus and her friends to figure out how to dispose of this terrible and malevolent burden; an Old God of hate and death.You can find out more about this dark and beautiful, read sample chapters, reviews and pre-order you copy of A God in the Shed by visiting: www.inkshares.com/books/a-god-in-the-shedYou can listen to the prologue as read by Ageless author Paul Inman here: youtu.be/XJw5oZhqtXoNeed more incentive?

Each pre-order enters you into the ‘I want to kill a reader’ raffle. The winner will have his name and likeness used in the book as a minor character that gets killed off. The author will work with the winner to find the appropriate means of demise to satisfy both the winner and the story.
Each physical copy of A God in the Shed will be signed and numbered as an exclusive first edition item.
Free, exclusive A God in the Shed bookmarks will be included with the physical copies and mailed to eBook supporters.
Orders of three or more copies guarantees your name to appear in the Patrons list printed at the end of the book.
You get to enjoy the satisfaction and pride at having supported both art and literature.

A God in the Shed is the first part of a trilogy that pushes the line between beauty and horror by telling a story that changes how we look at magic and the world around us. You have a chance of being part of making this book a reality and supporting a new author on his journey.

However, time is running out! The campaign ends April 22nd. Don’t miss out and order today!

Brian and Michelle Guthrie sent an update for After Man

After some recent discussions, I felt the need to post this to the project page and send it as an update.

What this Book is NOT:

First, this is not a book meant to answer all the questions. This world the story takes place in is a complicated place where everything has changed owing to the cataclysmic event. As a result, everything you know about society, religion, politics, genders, gender roles, and much more has changed. Second, this book is not "women can’t go on without men." Having lived for 500 years without them, clearly they can. This book is an exploration of that idea: what would it be like if you take the most basic form of diversity and remove it? And then what might happen if you reintroduce it? How would society react? Third, this is not an anti-feminist diatribe. It is also not a Complementarian manifesto. The idea here is NOT to declare one gender is better than the other, or that they can only exist together if they exist in a specific mold. The idea behind it is to explore what would happen if such an event were to occur, not pass judgment on you or anyone else for how they view or believe on this subject. Finally, this book is not going to tell you what to believe or accept about it. This will have a lot of ambiguity in it ON PURPOSE. This is not to avoid conflict, but to avoid "leading the witness." The narrative is going to have a lot of opportunities to make small and big statements throughout. Places where we can hit you right in the face with something just because we want to. We won’t be doing that. The idea here is to create a setting where all of these preconceived notions we carry into our interactions with each other have all fundamentally been altered or vanished. We all are going to approach this story with differing world views and beliefs. That is fine. The goal of this story is to take you as you are and, on the other end, leave you where you choose to be after contemplating the ideas and possibilities herein.
