Gregory Amato > Recent Status Updates

Dear Goodreads friends,

I've directly messaged with many of you. In case you haven't heard, Goodreads is ending its direct message capability sometime soon.

I don't have contact information for all of you, but mine is easy to remember: [my first name]@AmatoAuthor dot com. Or maybe I'll see you on Fable?

Please don't lose touch, especially if you like discussing esoteric Norse topics!

Thanks,
Greg

Lots of fake author profiles friending people on Goodreads, lately. The more people who just click "Accept," the more social capital these accounts gain for future friend requests.

Goodreads does not appear to take my reports of "This is a fake account" seriously until I notify the author being impersonated and they contact Goodreads themselves.

Stay frosty, folks.

Two volumes down, two to go.

Fallen to Fury (Spear of the Gods, book 3) Kickstarter campaign is live: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...

I'm interested in seeing where the story goes, but the writing style leaves a lot to be desired. Teetering on not finishing, and will decide next reading session.

Want book two of my series? Sign up to get notified as soon as the Kickstarter is live so you don't miss out on day one discounts:

After much hard work, I've updated my book blurbs. They should be shorter, punchier, and hopefully more likely to get people to pick up the books!

Liking this more than I thought I would.

I don't agree with the reviews saying the verbosity gets in the way of the story.

So far.

Hi friends and followers,

I am giving away some ARC print copies of Burden to Bear!

Not for collecting new followers or emails, just to some familiar people on Goodreads.

If you were a friend or follower of mine by 19 July 2023 and would like a paperback copy of Burden to Bear, DM me! The first five people to respond will get copies!

Best,
Greg

The Kickstarter to launch the Spear of the Gods series is LIVE.

Get in there early for better backer deals!

Click "Notify me on launch" to stay up to date with the publication of my first Norse Fantasy novel!

The first novel in my Norse fantasy series is ready for beta readers. An exciting and scary time!

Crossed 125,000 words today, but still so much work to do on Whoever Kills Monsters.

No idea what page, but am about five hours into the audiobook.

This is going to take a while.

You can't find me by name via Friend Finder. No reason why from Goodreads yet. I hope they fix it soon.

You can find me by name searching regular books. I am not the first result. Jane Austen is the first result. And then a lot of Phillipa Gregory.

I don't know when my book will be done. But this bug in the software has given me purpose, clarified my goal. My goal is to beat Jane Austen. Beat her any way I can.

Good god this thing is dense.
