James Rasile 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!

    James Rasile liked an update for Seeking the Elephant

    Today, Seeking the Elephant ends its pre-sale campaign.

    We didn’t make the 250 pre-sale goal, but I’m not worried about it. As a writer and a person who’s not particularly skilled at self-promotion, I learned real promotion skills, and how to get comfortable with public interaction. More importantly, we built up a real following.

    Going forward, as Seeking the Elephant finds its footing in real-world publication, I will be reaching out to those who were good enough to support this campaign.

    I want to thank some people & groups!

    • Kim Molisani
    • Break the Bechdel with Strong Female Characters Syndicate
    • Janna Grace
    • Amy Savoian
    • Tabi Card
    • Kristen Walls Kearney
    • Athena Driscoll
    • Melissa Johnson
    • Tim Rohal
    • Ray Duell
    • Matt Robb
    • Mercedes Fox
    • Craig & Margo Munro
    • Kelsey Rae Barthel
    • James Rasile
    • Jennifer Volk
    • Mercedes Fox

    In the meantime, please follow Seeking the Elephant on Facebook as well as Twitter for future updates.

    Have a great weekend!

      Hey, readers.

      The official Sunday update will be tonight hopefully, or tomorrow morning. I’ve run into some problems with my computer and can’t update properly, so I’m doing all of this from my phone. Please, look forward to it because there is much to discuss.

      Until then, A.J.III.

        James Rasile liked an update for The Last Faoii

        Hi, Everyone!

        Super short update, I promise. Are you ready for this?

        THE LAST FAOII HAS 100 PRE-ORDERS!

        Oh, goodness. I’m not sure I actually expected to hit that milestone. When I started this campaign I had told a total of maybe 5 people that I’d written a book. Now, people I’ve never met or heard of are supporting the endeavor! It’s so... humbling. And amazing.

        The milestone is amazing and awesome, but we’re not there yet. We have right around 25 days to get 150 more pre-orders if we want to hit quill goal and select publishing. I think we can do it. I really do. But I need your help.

        Keep sharing. Keep your heads up. Keep being awesome.

        Keep having hope.

        Love always,
        T

          James Rasile 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.

              James Rasile liked an update for Destiny Imperfect

              Greetings Destiny-followers,

              It’s been a little over a week since the Inkshares/Nerdist contest and I want to thank you all again for making Destiny Imperfect possible. It’s been a rollercoaster ride so far, and the best is yet to come.

              I’d now like to point you in the direction of another one of the contestants. Matthew Poat put together an immense top ten performance and his book, Squids In, looks like a complete blast. I’d love to see this project come to life, and it’d be great if you could get behind this squishy cephalopod. You can find Matt’s book here.  Hit the pre-order button and embrace your inner octopus!

              Enjoy your weekend!

              Peter

                James Rasile 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?

                  James Rasile liked an update for Children of the Dire: The Renegade Blade

                  It’s been awhile. Let’s catch up, shall we, wolf pack?

                  Summer vacation has come with all its distractions. For the past month, I have been away from home travelling the Great White North of Canada to meet with family and nature. 

                  For a few weeks, I spend some time in Tobermory, Ontario (I highly recommend going there it is a beautiful place). I’ve been far from an internet connection this past week. However, my travels have not stopped my writing. In fact I did my rewrite of the third book by participating in Camp NaNoWriMo (sort of, because I found it hard to get internet). But now I’m back!!

                  But that is not why I have made this update. I have great news, because with your help we have made it to 80 READERS in the wolf pack. So to congratulate and thank you, I have uploaded another chapter with a familiar character. I hope that you enjoy it. I have a lot of faith that we will make it to one-hundred by the end of the summer. Remember, when that happens all the second chapter PoVs will be uploaded for you to read.

                  Thanks again for all of your support.
