G. Derek Adams liked an update for A God in the Shed

Hi friends,

A quick note to remind you that today at 3pm EST (noon PST), the pricing and goal structure of my project currently funding on Inkshares will change. While my goal will go down from 1000 pre-orders, the price will go from 9,99$ per copy to 20,00$ per copy. Each is a gorgeous physical copy with free domestic shipping and will be signed. Today is the last day where the prices of the old model overlap the benefits of the new one. So I urge you; go pre-order ‘A God in the Shed’ on Inkshares.

Also, if you want to hang out at Can*Con this weekend, I should be wandering from one panel to the next. I’m on a panel on crowdfunding Sunday at 2h30 pm in Salon D. I’ll also be meeting with people at the Three Brewers in downtown Ottawa (240 Sparks Street) and you’re welcome to join us for a beer and some nerding out.

That’s it! I won’t bother you with anything more today but wish you a great weekend!

JF

    G. Derek Adams liked an update for These Old Bones

    Here's a little update just in time for fall's farewell. Enjoy.

    “I can do that and more,” Tomm said.

    Once when he was younger he had caused a maple tree to go through all four seasons in a single day. He still remembered the look in Gran’s eyes when the tree dropped its fiery leaves with what could only be described as a languid sigh, only to bud moments later, white-pink flowers bursting forth and falling in spirals all around her. She had shed a tear from the sheer beauty of the fragile moment, all of the motions in the life a tree, splayed out like words on a page in a script that only nature could decipher, and yet, somehow her grandson had scrawled a sentence of it perfectly. Even then, Tomm did not fully understand what had happened. Gran explained to him that his Calling was a separate song within him that broke free from time to time and wouldn’t do his bidding until he disciplined his mind with more training. Confused by this, he asked her if he had done poorly. “Oh, no, my little Toad,” she had reassured him. “You have done a splendid thing.”

      Hi friends!

      GO LISTEN TO THIS INKSHARES PODCAST; THEY SAY MY NAME AT LEAST TWICE SO THAT MEANS I AM FAMOUS NOW (and also it's genuinely fun and informative)!

      BOOKS TO ORDER BEFORE THE PRICE JUMP TOMORROW AT NOON:

      A Beast Requires by Jay Lockwood -
      When conspiracies threaten to plunge Aurum into civil war, the city's only hope is Deputy Constable Albicon Pine. Unfortunately, it’s his first week on the job.

      Drift by Danielle Mohr -
      Genetic modification is not just advanced science in the city of Freemont; it's how people live. Zade must navigate her way through a broken and unjust society to search for her missing brother. What else will her search uncover?

      Disintegration by Steve Soldwedel -
      A group of military officers are thrown together on a mission to raid the enemy stronghold and make off with a precious resource. A'arilon Ray suspects it's a suicide mission but it is just the beginning of a much greater adventure.

      Forty Days by J. Durbin -
      Dr. Nerana Jackson awakens to find herself stranded on a ghost ship, drifting in orbit near an alien star. Now, she must piece together what happened to the crew and why before time runs out - or she may join them.

      Blood Dawn by John Robin (obviously, buy this book immediately, I AM A DRAGON) -
      A weaver discovers that her skill is a gateway to magic, the key to restoring a god-king's fallen empire. Hope, the very light of the world, depends on her. But will she find the strength she needs? Will she rise above the traps of the ambitious?

      Dracula vs. Hitler by Patrick Sheane Duncan -
      Von Helsing unleashes Dracula, the legendary killing machine, in order to repel the Nazis from World War II-era Romania in this thrilling fantasy adventure novel.  With wonderful details and writing style loyal to the original Bram Stoker novel.
      (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA yes)

      Witches Undercover by Rochelle Germano -
      The idea that the definition of the enemy is in the eye of the beholder.  A witty urban fantasy about sisters.

      Scribbles: A Collection of Words by Tabi Card -
      A collection of ten short stories from the futuristic and fantastical, to the ordinary and magical.

      And if you don't already know, you can use credits to buy books that are in production/published - like Asteroid Made of Dragons, Lost Generation, Ageless, and The Life Engineered!

      I just got One Murder More in the mail and I'm loving it. (I totally think the handsome senator guy did it. Cute heroic guys are always the murderer!!!) (I am almost definitely wrong.)

      :)

          Today was long!!

          Here is your... Museday Mix: Goren Edition!

          I'll have you know I tried to listen to a Justin Bieber song for this mix, and I just couldn't do it. You're going to have to settle for this "Shawn Mendes" person, and One Direction because Goren loves One Direction un-ironically.

          (And if you're not totally into the PacRim+Taylor Swift combo... it's amazing and I feel sorry for you.)

          Can't Feel My Face - The Weeknd 
          Can't Hold Us - Macklemore ft Ryan Lewis
          Drag Me Down - One Direction
          Like I'm Gonna Lose You - Meaghan Trainor ft John Legend
          Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO
          We Are Young - fun.
          Riptide - Vance Joy
          Polaroid - Imagine Dragons
          Stitches (acoustic) - Shawn Mendes and Hailee Steinfeld
          Coat of Armour - George Ezra
          No Pulse - Ramin Djawadi (from the Pacific Rim Soundtrack)
          Shake It Off - Taylor Swift

            Halloween!

            YES.

            In celebration I'm making my own SPOOKY MURDER MYSTERY NOVEL 'The Riddle Box' free on Kindle through the falling of All Hallows. A lot of you may have downloaded this during the original campaign, but any of the new people who've pre-ordered now have a chance. Some of the same characters that will appear in Asteroid Made of Dragons are also in Riddle Box - but it's not required reading by any stretch of the imagination. Fair warning - there is a lot of death in this book, as well as an electric guitar that levitates, and awkward courtship. The killer will push your Spooky Buttons, guaranteed.

            Available FREE on Kindle until the skeletons return to their graves on November 1st.

            Also - in other important cultural news: watch this and be purified - freed from your earthly torment.

              Hey guys! 

              I'll TRY to be brief...TRY...

              Lots of things have been going on since my last update.

              1. I have finished my first pass at the developmental edits and Lindsay, the editor, was very happy with the changes I made.  There were significant changes.  I cut between 5000-6000 words!  That is a ton of cutting!  But trim the fat right...
              2. The cover is coming together nicely!  we should have something locked down in the very near future!  
              3. Inkshares will be changing the way the funding system works this Friday (250 preorders= light publication and 750= full publication with signed paperbacks)!  
              4. SO if you haven't ever looked at MCC - Book One: Transgressions (click me), now would be a good time.  The preorder cost will go up to $20 one Friday.  Right now you can get in with JUST $10!   Help Pat and I get this book rolling with the new funding goals!
              5. LAST - I WILL BE LIVE ON *CHANGES* THIS WEDNESDAY MORNING.  It's a live GOOGLE HOA where we will talk about lots of different things including AGELESS and MCC - Book One: Transgressions
              Thanks guys!
              You are all rock stars!


              Paul

                Hm hmm hmm.

                Tra la la.

                What? What's that, you say? Something... happened?

                Hmm. I suppose I should read the latest message from Inkshares CEO Jeremy Thomas...



                AHHHH! CHANGES ARE COMING!!!

                Here's a quick rundown, my dear friends, family, and followers:

                New total pre-order goal: 750 instead of 1,000
                New tier for "light" publishing (light editing, limited marketing and distribution): 250 pre-orders
                New pre-order price: $20 for trade paperback + ebook, $30 for hardcover

                There are some other changes, but you should just read the whole announcement to get a sense of what is to come.

                I've put 14 years of development and 5 years of writing into this manuscript. Alex is a brutal developmental editor (love you, honey!). I'm so confident in this book, and I really think the light publishing track will produce something that I will be proud of... but I still want to shoot for the gold. I want to reach 750 pre-orders. I want to send you all signed first-edition copies of my gorgeous, illustrated book!

                So... onward! If you know of anyone who might want to order my book, tell them to order before Oct 30th at noon to get it at the lower price.

                And thank you, really, you who have already ordered. Thank you.

                NOW, AN UPCOMING EVENT:

                I have acquired a promoter (who is very enthusiastic and also particularly smart and beautiful). Leah has arranged a reading + costume contest + photo booth + scifi trivia event at Mugshots Coffee Company this Friday night!!! Is it crazy for me to suggest you drive to Minneapolis if you're not from here? I DON'T CARE! Come to this event!

                Look at this postcard she made to advertise it:



                And she's been making these graphic thingies that are pretty cool, too:



                And she even made this author quote thing from that rant I went on in an earlier update!!



                Look at all this! Is this what it feels like when people believe in you? This is WEIRD but also COOL and I like it in the sense that I've worked really hard on this book and now people are seeing value in it and talking about it, which is GREAT. But I'm also, you know, hyperventilating with anxiety from all the pressure, hahahahAHAAHAHahahaha. It's all good, don't worry. It doesn't count as bravery if you're not scared.

                Thank you, Leah. You're amazing. And the rest of you are amazing, too!

                I hope to see you Friday...
