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!!
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.

Hello my Knightmares!
For all those who have purchased over the last week, thank you! We sit at 63 more orders left until we reach Quill publishing, with a timer hammering away every second. Now, I’d love to say this last 63 is going to be a cakewalk, but I have bled and bled my immediate contacts for orders, and I just don’t see any more coming easy. I’ve started getting hate mail...seriously. I need you, my dear fans/readers/friends/family to help.
"How can I help?" you ask.
You can help by getting two friends, just two friends to buy a copy (It doesn’t matter if they buy an e-book for just $10). If you can get two friends to buy a copy, I’ll throw in a free t-shirt that proclaims your AWESOMENESS to the world for helping THE KNIGHTMARES get published.
Pretty rad, huh?
So let’s break this down:
Seriously you guys, this is some good stuff.
FEATURED IN
If you missed it, I was featured in Philadelphia’s premiere geek-tastic blog of all things geek, Geekadelphia. I was their Geek of the Week for the week of July 13th. Check out the interview, here.
BOOKS TO NOTICE
Every week I try to post 3 books that have caught my eye. Sometimes these could be already published Inkshares books, or books that just deserve more attention than they are getting. There’s a lot of talent out there.
Tantalus Depths by Evan Graham - The Diamelen’s survey mission to Tantalus 13 takes an unexpected turn when the entire planet turns out to be an ancient artificial structure. What lies in the heart of Tantalus? And why is the crew’s AI, SCARAB, willing to kill to keep its secret?
I’ve been impressed from the beginning about Evan’s fully realized world. His updates are constantly bringing new content to his fan-base, highlighting the technology and the characters.
Seven Days Dead - by "Johnsoncm" - The beginning of a zombie outbreak in the Middle East. Can people from different cultures, who have been at war with each other for centuries, overcome their differences in order to survive?
Setting can be everything to a book. We’ve seen zombies on TV and in movies in various ways, but zombies in the Middle East brings with it an entirely new set of obstacles. This is definitely something to check out for all fans of the zombie genre.
Devil’s Call by J. Danielle Dorn - Pregnant witch exacts revenge on the cowards who shot her man: a Western.
I’ve always enjoyed genre blends, and this one stands out. Not many people place fantastical/horror elements into a Western setting. I think this one stands out. The project has 15 days left, and a little ways to go, so please jump on it now while you can!
Thanks again to everyone who has stood with me every step of the way on this journey.
Good morning, everyone.
Still chugging along.
I got a couple nibbles about beta readers, but could certainly use some more. I know you’re all getting a lot of Inkshares email if you follow half as many people as I do but, if you happen to catch a glimpse of this update, let me know whether you’d like to join the beta crowd. I expect to have something for you by August.
