Hello friends! I will be participating in Inksgiving this year!
Here are my goals:
- 30,000 - I will up the Mask of Ashes posting schedule to twice a week.
- 60,000 - I will publish a short story about Reed starting his business, Smith and Co.
- 90,000 - I will publish a short story about Reed's first days in Mythiric
- 100,000 - I will post 5 chapters at once of Mask of Ashes and Soulless Prince
Top supporters during Inksgiving will receive their choice of:
- art of their favorite characters from my series
- a print copy of Sword of Lady Lyon (signed) or Playing the Hero (also signed)
- an ebook of all currently finished arcs of Soulless Prince (1-4)
Super stretch goal!
- 150,000 -- y'all pick? Idk man.
I keep getting hit with the intense desire to write The Mage King as a separate book. It would be a significantly shorter story than Soulless Prince. I don't know if anyone would want to read it, though. Let me know if that's something you'd be interested in.
Hey! just a little poke to let y'all know that my Scifi series "Mask of Ashes" will be going live this month! It's a space opera, following an alien boy who inherits his father's privateer space fleet when his father is assassinated.
Hello Lurkers and Moots!
I just became aware of another thing going on with Tapas.
It's called "The Inkies" - some kind of award thing? Nominate your favorite community/premium comics and novels. I'm not sure if there's a prize or just recognition for doing a good job.
Consider voting for Soulless Prince (or Sword of Lady Lyon if you want) for the community novel options? That'd be awesome, thanks!
I'm going to start posting my sci-fi series on Tapas in a few months. Since I wrote it in 2007, I've slightly updated the original text.
This version will be called Mask of Ashes and includes books 1 through 3 of the original Natan Fleet Show. I will also post the other planned books under the same series title on Tapas, so you don't have to look elsewhere for the next installment. One Sub and Done!
You can still read the original versions on Amazon. Book 4 is also available as a Collection on my Patreon if you want to read it ~Right Now~.
However, this new version will:
* clean up grammar and punctuation
* clean up some awkward plot bits
* remove extraneous exposition/descriptions
Of course, I will include that removed extra information about my aliens in the Description/Author Note section. I put a lot of effort into creating the world and do want to share it. However, worldbuilding is like an iceberg. Including all that background information just creates a glacier that moves slowly and squashes mountains, not a graceful beauty that sinks ships when you least expect it.
NOTE: I will not stick to my original YA reading level. Graphic chapters will be marked, of course. However, there will be harsh language. (Not as bad as Reed Owen. He didn't have a mother to wash his mouth with Dial soap, so he doesn't know better.)
I'm redoing this how I wanted to have it in the first place. The limitations of printing forced me to cut book 1 in half, which ended up leaving a weak plot in both.
So, settle in for a very long haul.
Also, if you enjoy my writing and feel like supporting me, you can:
* Donate ink
* Share my stories with your friends
* Buy the books on Amazon/Patreon
* Subscribe to my Patreon (there's a $1/month tier that gives you access to everything I post. The link is in my bio.)
To everyone who voted for me in the Tapas AF Tourney, I'd like to thank you. While I didn't make it to the top 25, I'll be continuing Soulless Prince as planned.
Hello everyone!
The Tapas AF Tourney is soon closing the Reader Voting Period. If you've not voted yet, please vote for Soulless Prince. Each Tapas account only gets to vote once, but you can pick up to three different stories. Or choose the same story three times.
Thank you all so much for reading Soulles Prince. I hope I've impressed you enough to make you want to vote for me. <3
