Read MoreBeloved Apprentices and Masters! Despite the long wait between updates, rest assured we have been hard at work on RUNE! To prove it, I wanted to share a sneak peek at the most recent draft of our new cover art! Again, this is still a draft, and we are planning on making a few more final tweaks to it, BUT I wanted to open the discussion up so everyone else in the community could chime in and share their thoughts, too!
Read MoreThe Inhabitants is a series that rolls together a lot of concepts that intrigue me. Perhaps it can be best described as an art project that builds on my ideas of the unexplained. The first (and currently only) book, An Unremembered Life, is what I'm writing and funding on Inkshares right now.
Read MoreI have some great news! RUNE's schedule and publication date has just been finalized! Although there are many deliverables on RUNE's production timeline (publishing and marketing a book is a MASSIVE undertaking), the one readers will be most interested in is: RUNE OF THE APPRENTICE will be published on November 1st, 2016!
Read MoreCommander Dax Harrison is a reluctant hero who is essentially one-part Ash Williams (Evil Dead) and one-part Zapp Brannigan (Futurama). He's known as a legendary soldier who defeated an invading alien force in all-out war which ended a decade ago. But not everyone believes the tales. Furthermore, the legends surrounding Dax have grown in the public eye due to movies, pulp novels and other media embellishing his exploits. Ten years after the war, we catch up with Dax as he coasts toward retirement and lives not-so-humbly off his fame. But a dangerous shadow from the past emerges, and he is finally forced to live up to his name, whether he likes it or not.
Read MoreAn artifact of immense power puts Maxan in the middle of a secret war between mighty guilds. To overcome the resourceful and sinister masters who would use him, use everyone, as puppets, he must decide which nature defines him. Animal, or man?
Read MoreApprentices and Masters, exciting things abound! We are all busy people so I'll keep it short and to the point via bullets: Most importantly, the preliminary round of edits to the RUNE manuscript are nearly complete! お待たせ致しました! They should be done quite soon and we will then hit the next stage of edits followed by cover art and soon(ish) publication! Yay!
Read MoreWhat is Phantasia? (Apotheosis Studios "Guest Post" by Inkshares Author hopeful A.K. Wolf) Phantasia is a risk. Not in the sense that it's risqué, not even close, but in the sense that I feel like I willingly jumped into the deepest part of the ocean, and I have a 50/50 chance of either finding a raft to stay afloat, or drowning. That's the type of risk I'm talking about. Well... That started off dark, sorry about that, but it's kind of true...
Read MoreThe Glyph Algorithm is a solution to a case of the Boolean Satisfiability problem (k-SAT) and is therefore capable of determining satisfiable interpretations to any given Boolean expression in conjunctive normal form. Unlike tactics utilized by what are presently considered to be the most efficient algorithms for solving SAT, Glyph does not rely on collision detection and backtracking operations as a means of decreasing computational complexity. Rather, the glyph algorithm solves SAT by reducing a given Boolean expression to a new format, known as Glyph form, such that it is absent of the issue normal SAT solvers have in accounting for variable repetition. In doing so, both what operators represent and how these representations are affected by variable repetition are able to be acknowledged with minimal computational effort. This results in an algorithm which is capable of solving k-SAT with a drastically heightened degree of efficiency in comparison to currently available high performing SAT solvers.
Read MoreEveryone at UMBC was awesome and I enjoyed meeting folks from the Cosplay Coalition, Living Poet Society, The Visual and Fine Arts Club, Game Developers Club, and Table Top Gaming clubs! Fantastic stuff! It was a pleasure to spend the day with you all, and share in our collective passion for excellent Sci-Fi/Fantasy and fantastic storytelling! Also, getting pizza with many of you was great, too! Invading the parlor with full on zombie makeup was perfect! Thanks for including the "Space Ninja!" Haha! :)
Read MoreI want to give a HUGE shout out to all my “new” New York Comic Con Friends and welcome you to the RUNE OF THE APPRENTICE community! We are all pretty excited for the book to come out, but because it is months away from being in your hands, we are biding our time by playing video games, doing local D.C. / NYC meet ups, and hanging on Twitch, Facebook and Twitter where we talk and enjoy books/comics/videogame/movies and all things related. Most importantly we are super happy to have you new folks join us! In that same vein, if you know of anyone else who loves EPIC Fantasy/Science-Fiction storytelling, ask them to get the book and join us, too—all for free!
Read MoreWhat an Amazing experience! I cannot tell you how heart warming it was being able to meet so many awesome people and share such passion and excitement not only for RUNE OF THE APPRENTICE, but all the other epic storytelling at Comic Con, too!
I have been a long time attendee and cosplayer of many awesome conventions including Comic Con, but have never had my own Artist Alley table before. The ability to meet so many like minded people, shake your hands, look into your eyes, hear your stories, and not only share my dream for RUNE OF THE APPRENTICE, but also hear about your own personal passions too, was profound in ways I cannot describe in words. I am left speechless--which for a former professional speech writer is truly saying something!
Comic Con Starts FRIDAY! Come claim your RUNE OF THE APPRENTICE treasure at Artist Alley table 324! We have some VERY exciting Comic Con exclusives! I won't spoil the surprise here, so you will have to come and see the excitement for yourself at Artist Alley table 324! Also, stay tuned on Twitter with Hashtag #RotA1k @StoneJamison for updates!
