Send us a textAward-winning filmmaker Josh Mendoza (What Still Remains) turns his attention to fiction with his sci-fi thriller, Shadow of the Eternal Watcher (Jan. 28, Inkshares, trade paper), a genre-bending debut novel in which alternate realities and time travel blend together seamlessly in a thrilling tale of government corruption and personal redemption.In Shadow of the Eternal Watcher, Private detective Duster Raines has demons. Some visit him in his dreams, reminding him of the choices he made in combat to survive. Others visit him while he's awake, demanding he pay penance for those sins. But lately, he's started seeing an alternate version of reality where he leads a life of importance, full of wealth and power. Visions so vivid, they seem more real than the life he lives as a private investigator, scrounging the gutters of Los Angeles for an easy buck. It's enough to drive anyone insane.Pulled into a missing persons case he never wanted, Raines finds himself framed and hunted by the government. But as he searches for answers to clear his name, he discovers a truth he never could have imagined: he possesses the ability to bend spacetime to accomplish incredible feats. With these powers, maybe he's got a shot at the life he deserves. There's only one problem standing in his way: another Duster Raines.

The Devil's Promise by Celso Hurtado follows his debut novel The Ghost Tracks about paranormal investigator Erasmo Cruz. Dealing with his grandmother's illness and the continuous struggle with his roots, Erasmo takes on a case alone and it may be his darkest yet. Soon, a skeptical Vero joins him and with the help of a few locals, then old friends, he comes to terms with true evil and how it ties to his own past. A young adult horror that speaks to seasoned fans of cult and occult horror like few can; Hurtado outdoes the first book in this series with a stellar sequel.

In her upcoming novel “The Devil Inside” (May 11, 2021, Inkshares), paranormal and dark fantasy author Susan K. Hamilton walks the line between good and evil, as her protagonist bends the rules to climb the ladders of hell and while learning to be confident in who she is. Mara Dullahan is a devil with a knack for sniffing out corrupt souls. Taunted for centuries about her lack of devilish wings, Mara has something to prove—and she's determined to become Hell's #1 Sales & Acquisitions devil. But her biggest rival, Kemm, will stop at nothing to steal the coveted top spot, including uncovering her deepest secrets. When Mara meets a handsome angel stuck in a dead-end job, she knows he's the kind of trouble that could ruin all of her ambitions. After all, rumor has it Lucifer will rip the wings off any devil who falls for an angel. But Mara's never been one to play by the rules. As their affair intensifies, Mara's secret life gets more and more complicated, especially when Kemm starts to suspect there might be more than one way to bring his competition down. Cornered, Mara is forced to take drastic measures to protect her secrets—and her angel—before all Hell breaks loose.

This week, Kelsey Rae Barthel returns to the podcast to chat about her book, "Beyond the Masquerade" which is currently entered in a crowdfunding contest over at Inkshares.com. Thanks for listening!

It was supposed to be a publicity stunt: four famous horror authors spending the night in one of the world's most notorious haunted houses. But the house on Kill Creek has sinister plans for its visitors that will follow them further than they can imagine. Kill Creek by Bram Stoker award nominee Scott Thomas is available in print at the Fishersville and Middlebrook libraries. If you liked Kill Creek, you can find Scott Thomas's newest novel, Violet, at the Fishersville, Churchville, and Waynesboro libraries, This episode of First Chapter Fridays with ACL was recorded by Churchville Branch Manager Ali. Kill Creek was written by Scott Thomas and published by Inkshares, Inc.

Don't miss this episode with the amazing and hilarious J. Danielle Dorn. We talk about their novel from Inkshares, Devil's Call, short stories, crime fiction, and other topics ranging from great characters being assaulted by Kool-Aid plotlines to, well, Kool-Aid plotlines. To describe this episode as raucous would be the understatement of the year. We had a blast.

Welcome! In this episode of the Level Up! Podcast with Shay, Jake shares his story of going from an educator in schools to an educator of improv. He admits he has had to learn how to be comfortable with the fact that he doesn't know everything. And throughout the episode, he really pushes the idea that he keeps on learning along the way. Jake has learned a lot from rejection; maybe even more from his losses than his wins! He shares that getting what you thought you wanted may not be what actually makes you happy and helps you break down those walls you've built growing up. Create your own way of doing things you love, even if you don't know the ins and outs yet, and believe that you can achieve whatever goal you have. Jake tries his best and it's nice knowing that that's actually all he needs to succeed! You can find Jake and support him on Instagram and Twitter @wakeupwithjacob.

For the fourth time, Alysa Auriemma joins Brian on The Other 51. But this time, there's biggest stuff to talk about than Captain America, Chris Evans and Kylo Ren.(I mean, they do talk about Avengers: Endgame. They're not monsters.)Alyssa joins Brian to talk about the writing and publication of her new book, “All Daughters Rise.” Alysa discusses the themes of her book and how she was inspired to write the book in part because of the gaps she saw in contemporary fiction. Where's the intersectionality? Why does the main character always react so calmly when things happen? We're all way more Scott Lang than Natasha Romanov, and maybe our fictions should reflect that.Alyssa also discusses the book's journey to publication, the challenges and frustrations she faced in trying to find an agent and a publisher, and why she made the decision to use Inkshares. She is nearly halfway to her goal of 750 preorders by January to get the book published.Also, much praise is lavished upon Rainbow Rowell.All Daughters Rise on InksharesAlysa on TwitterGeek Love: A Novel by Katherine DunnThe Married Man by Edmund WhiteWayward Son by Rainbow RowellCarry On by Rainbow RowellEpisode 52: Hating Kylo Ren with Alysa AuriemmaEpisode 44: Generic Hot Actor Guy with Alysa AuriemmaEpisode 27: Always Writing with Alysa AuriemmaSubscribe:Apple PodcastsOvercastSpotifyGoogle PlayRSSSupport Me on Ko-fi

This week, we had a great time talking with horror author Scott Thomas, who burst on to the horror scene in 2017 with the release of his debut novel Kill Creek. We got to talk to Scott about both Kill Creek and Violet, his relationship with Inkshares, his love of horror films, and the style of horror he approaches in his work. We had a blast recording with Scott and hearing about his journey to writing horror novels and learning what went into making Kill Creek and Violet, two novels that absolutely floored us when we read them. Be sure to pre-order Violet ahead of its official release next week. This is an eerie psychological horror story that is an excellent way to kick off your Fall reading list!

  We're a big fan of Clive Barker here in the shed, and we wanted to talk about some of his work that has made the silver screen that ISN'T Hellraiser, because we're also a big fan of the roads less travelled. So we've got two Barker works under the microscope in our Double Feature, we look at a book for the first time as an Easily Available Horror, and we respectfully disagree about computer games in the News segment.   Easily Available Horror: Kill Creek by Scott Thomas, Inkshares.   Also - We totally neglected to give any links or spell her name, so here's Jordan Reyne's website for more info about her music.

In this stand-alone episode we have an interview with Christopher Huang, who is the author of the recently-released detective novel “A Gentleman’s Murder.” This is a slight departure from the BFWWP’s usual lineup, but I thought it would be good to support a young author writing a story in which the Great War has a strong presence.   “A Gentleman’s Murder” was a fun read. The main character of the story, Leftenant Eric Peterkin, is a veteran of the trenches in Flanders and France as are nearly every other member of the gentleman’s club to which he belongs. Peterkin takes it upon himself to solve an unprecedented murder in the club when he suspects the case is not exactly going to be solved by the police.   Christopher Huang grew up in Singapore and moved to Canada when he was 17 years old. He returned to Singapore the following year for two years of military service, before going to McGill University in Montreal to study Architecture. He currently lives in Montreal, and these days he is pursuing the dream of writing full-time. Mr. Huang is a longtime fan of the "golden age" of detective fiction, and in that spirit he writes his debut novel in the hopes that readers will figure out on their own who the killer is. “A Gentleman’s Murder” is available through the Inkshares site, local booksellers, and Amazon. Links to the book will be provided in the episode description, as well on the website post and social media. Check out the book, and support an up and coming author. Hope you enjoy!   Inkshares: https://www.inkshares.com/books/a-gentlemans-murder   Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1942645953/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_rDAsCb3QQG72N   The BFWWP is on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/BattlesoftheFirstWorldWarPodcast.   Any questions, comments or concerns please contact me through the website, www.firstworldwarpodcast.com or the Battles of the First World War Podcast page on FaceBook.

This week, Grant of Chip and Ironicus, Sex Archie and History Honeys joins us for the 2003 semi-cartoon comedy Looney Tunes: Back in Action!

Quincy Carroll’s new novel Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside: A Novel (Inkshares, 2015) follows the experiences of a handful of expats teaching English in China, simultaneously offering a compelling story and a peek into various ways of making a life from encounters with dislocation. Readers explore Ningyuan (in Hunan) along with two very different though perhaps not so different(?) figures in the teachers (Thomas) Guillard and Daniel. As their stories and lives intersect the distinctions between these men begin to blur, as do the distinctions between notions of home and away, self and other, and much more. In the course of our conversation, Carroll and I spoke about the book, the experiences that helped inspire the novel, and his experience publishing fiction with Inkshares. Enjoy!

Quincy Carroll’s new novel Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside: A Novel (Inkshares, 2015) follows the experiences of a handful of expats teaching English in China, simultaneously offering a compelling story and a peek into various ways of making a life from encounters with dislocation.

We talk with Dave Barrett, author of Inkshares book It's All Fun and Games and Zac Linville author of Inkshares book Welcome to Deadland. One has zombie-like inhabitants based on theme park patrons and the other finds a LARP outing becoming all too real.

As I hope you all know by now, I recently joined a new community of writers trying to get their books published: Inkshares. I jumped into a contest for the Nerdist for books about video games and found myself in a strange new land surrounded by strange new customs. Every heroine needs a guide as she begins her journey and Evan Graham was my guide. He introduced me to this strange land and introduced me to the powerful community could be made there.  About Tantalus Depths But this post isn't about me or my book, it's about Evan and his amazing novel, Tantalus Depths. This novel tells the story of Mary Ketch who is leading a survey mission deep into space.  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? Filled with adventure, exploration, tension among the crew, and dangerous artificial intelligence, this story has all the components to a great work of science fiction. On top of that, the lead character is a female pilot who is not afraid to kick ass and take names.  We discuss the writing process, running a crowdfunding campaign, and talk about some of Evan's influences while he was writing. He mentions 2001 and Star Wars as huge influences and then I compare him both to Joss Whedon and J.R.R. Tolkien. Let's just say we had a good time.  Please make sure to support Evan's campaign. He's in the homestretch to reaching full publishing on Inkshares and I cannot think of another Inkshares author who deserves it more. Go forth, Geeks, and help support one of our own in making his book a reality.  Where to Find Out More Tantalus Depths on Inkshares and Facebook Evan on Twitter and YouTube --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gameongirl/message

Inkshares is a changing and the last few weeks have seen some important upheaval for the company. One contest ends and another is already going on, but more importantly, there's someone new at the helm and we have him on the show to help answer some of YOUR questions about the direction of Inkshares and how it impacts your books.The guys are honoured to have Adam Gomolin as a guest who shares with us about Inkshares, past, present and future.NOTE: With Paul in Vegas and a ton of technical difficulty, it's a miracle we got this done at all. Thanks for you patience Adam!

The boys have the end-of-contest jitters and talk about the last few books they haven't covered in the top 10 of the Nerdist Video Game contest. More importantly, they have the delightful Alicia Smock, previously from Examiner.com as a guest to help make the podcast more pleasant and answer a few questions. If you don't know Alicia, she's been doing amazing interviews with Inkshares authors as well as reviewing books. Now that Examiner.com is closing its doors, find out what's next for our intrepid reviewer!Follow Alicia on Twitter orRead her articles here!

The guys have a guest! It's Landon Crutcher, author of Monkey Business and first to be published under the Quill Collection on Inkshares. Landon is a super fun guy to chat with and brought a lot of insight into his process an the origins of his book. We talk about his experience and the differences with the 'standard' Inkshares model. Paul and JF also dig deeper in to the books and campaigns of the Nerdist Video Game contest.Landon's next project is called Black Cloud and from the description it sounds amazing. Follow it on Inkshares so you don't miss when the official campaign begins!Do us a favour; if you've read Monkey Business, go review it on Amazon!

Paul tells us about his con experience; the good, the bad and the weird. JF tries to touch on the sensitive subject of pulling a project off of Inkshares and the reasons that might spawn such a decision and finally, the boys break all the rules for the current Nerdist Collection contest. The next few weeks are going to be interesting so let's hope we can get our recording schedule squared off.

Holy cow guys! Paul's book Ageless is officially out and if you don't have it; what's wrong with you? The guys are back and they're talking book releases again and preparing for future campaigns. They also discuss Inkshares being at the Book Expo America and what it might mean for readers and writers in the coming months.

How The Age of the Dominant Male Is Over: The Future of Men and Masculinity in the 21st Century SHOW GUEST: Jack Myers The age of the dominant male has passed. Women are starting to make more money, earn more college degrees, dominate more industries, and that’s just the start. Today’s men are rejecting macho stereotypes, and are more actively parenting, but what does this mean for the future of masculinity? What kind of world will our sons grow up in, and is an entire generation being left behind in today’s reverse gender-gap? Peabody Award Winning Filmmaker and Bestselling Author Jack Meyers explores this world-changing question in his new book, THE FUTURE OF MEN: Masculinity in the 21st Century, (Inkshares, March 2016), which examines how masculinity is evolving in the new millennium. Illuminating, insightful, and empowering, THE FUTURE OF MEN is a must-read guide to thriving in a world of changing gender realities. Speak with Jack Meyers for a look at what our sons can expect in the years to come.

On this episode Paul and JF have a special guest: Jim McDoniel, author of the just released An Unattractive Vampire, second book released as part of the Sword & Laser Collection on Inkshares. The guys discuss Vampires, launching a book and to everyone's relief, JF's mic dies midway through the show. Everyone lived happily ever after. (Seriously, sorry for the bad audio. It is JF's fault)Check out our book picks for this episode and pick up a copy of An Unattractive Vampire immediately! Read it as fast as possible and then go review it. Go! Go! Go!

Where the magic happens... On a very special episode of WriteBrain (one that Paul had a hell of a time editing), J-F visits the Mothership. A.K.A.: The Inkshares offices in San Francisco. Instead of the standard format, listen to the guys do their usual banter with occasional interruptions from the Inkshares people as we learn more about the awesome people who make this amazing company work. J-F invested in a trip to San Francisco, just before the SuperBowl so he could have the privilege of signing copies of The Life Engineered for his backers. One thing he learned dear friends; signing takes a lot more time to do than you'd think (think 100 copies/hour) and he spent too many hours goofing off and eavesdropping on Jeremy, Avalon, Matt and the rest. Behold: the whiteboard of awesome! Learn with us how the proverbial sausage is made. It's a fascinating story for readers and writers alike.J-F:On a personal note, I really want to thank the Inkshares crew for being so hospitable and allowing me the leeway to finish signing and numbering all the books for backers. It's quite a thrill to see the boxes of books and feel the electricity in the air as these guys do their job.I was fortunate enough to be there when Dracula vs. Hitler hit its funding goal and witness the liquid excitement that flooded the office. If there ever was a doubt that Inkshares loves books and loves the books they work on, it is completely dissipated now. So cool to be surrounded by these boxes. Such an amazing feeling... Again, thank you so much Inkshares for everything you did to make The Life Engineered a reality. However, as I've learned during my visit: We're barely getting started.JF They made me part of the team for the day and let me sit at the adult table! My signature and handwriting did not remain very consistent I'm afraid. WRITEBRAIN RSS

Jeremy Thomas is the CEO of Inkshares, which offers a mix of crowdfunding model and the services offered by a traditional publisher. Inkshares was founded in 2013 to create a differentiated offering. Jeremy and I talk about how Inkshare's model has evolved, his take on international presence, non-English language publishing and audiobooks, and finally, his advise for authors. Please subscribe to the podcast in iTunes at www.smarturl.it/mykitaab or Stitcher at www.smarturlit/mykitaabcast and if you like this podcast, please leave a review!

In this one, Paul and JF interview John Robin, author of the upcoming Inkshares novel Blood Dawn, moderator of the Inkshares Writer's forum on Goodreads, hyper-active member of the Inkshares community and all around awesome guy. Come listen and discover the myriad ways John has helped build the writers community on Inkshares and help other writers towards their goal.It's the first time there's a third chair on the podcast... and it shows.

We congratulate the winners of our Inkshares contest and name the book that will be joining our Sword and Laser collection. Plus, why you shouldn't be angry at George R. R. Martin and how Catherynne M. Valente's Radiance is like a Tone Poem.

Paul and JF talk about how difficult it is to expand beyond people you know when campaigning for a book even though it's an important step in the process. They also discuss two science fiction books currently funding on Inkshares. Check them out below!

No episode this week. Instead, we have something special: the audio from the Google Hangout we did for the Inkshares Review-a-thon.Join Paul and JF as they interview Inkshares authors, do an audio play based on Dax Harrison (recently funded book on Inkshares), chat with Gary Whitta and read some reviews left for books during the Review-a-thon.Buckle in, it's a long one.Tony Valdez - Dax HarrisonCara Weston - She is the EndGary Whitta - AbominationJim McDoniel - An Unattractive VampireJohn Robin - Blood DawnRichard Heinz - The Seventh Age: DawnAmanda Ornek - Deus Hex Machina 

Paul and J-F discuss filling out the Design Brief, the second document you'll receive if you publish with Inkshares. They also talk about Artie Sievers' book Captain and B. Riggs' book Terminal Magic. Both look like promising reads and are still funding. Why don't you do yourself a favour and pre-order a copy of each. Finally, the media noise for the Sword & Laser Collection contest: the Sequel along with J-F's book, The Life Engineered are ramping up. The former is mentioned in an article in Examiner.com and the later is mentioned (along with the Sword & Laser Collection) on io9.com!

Paul and J-F talk about Inkshares marketing, Dax Harrison, by Tony Valdez, Rise, by Brian Guthrie and give a few tips on how to prepare, survive and hopefully win a crowdfunding contest on Inkshares.Why that last subject? Because Inkshares is working with Sword & Laser on a second contest for their Collection. Only three books will get automatically published with this contest and one will make it into the Collection. J-F thinks that with the lower goal of 750 books to reach the goal, there's no reason the top three wouldn't get their funding regardless... if not more.

Where Paul and J-F discuss Melissa Berg's - Prophecy of the Stars and G. Derek Adams' - Asteroid Made of Dragons. They also discuss in depth the Marketing Questionnaire that they received when their books got accepted on Inkshares and what to be prepared to answer if you want to get published.
