Its been a long time but Billette Hall is now released and available to the worlds!
If it wasnt for the little Horror Contest here at Inkshares, I probably wouldve never wrote this book. It was a story I toyed arouned with and never thought of finishing until the contest. But now its here, and its actually been getting some good reviews. (Inkshares missed out on publishing a good book... shhh dont tell anyone lol)
But visit my website for the links
dljonesbooks.com/billettehall
Or go directly to the amazon page and get your copy of the ebook for 99 cents (introductory price, ends on the 20th)
I said about a week or so ago that there would be some big news regarding my book, Billette Hall, Well here it is!
I just submitted it to Amazon for Pre-order. It will have a release date of January 7th. It will start with an introductory price of 99Cents for the ebook (Regular price 4.99).
Since I joined the Inkshares Horror contest in 2017, I have done quite a few things.
1. I finished the book! Ive gotten it edited along with ebook and paperback formatting.
2. I had a new cover made (I will upload it on this site shortly)
Now, this all started here at Inkshares. I didnt win the contest but I want to offer all my supporters and other Inkshares authors and readers the opportunity to read a Pre-release copy of the book. for FREE
Here’s the link to get it at Book Funnel

I hope if you decide to read it, that you enjoy. I’m excited.
There’s an option to join my newsletter when you download the book (not required)
Also, if you read and like the book, feel free to drop me a review on Amazon when it releases (We self published authors could always use the reviews)
Just wanted to give a brief update. I’m about a week away from a big update regarding Billette Hall. I’ll be back here with that update and something special for the people here at Inkshares.
Be sure to check back, this news is huge (well... huge to me lol)
Things are really moving for me now. I have some exciting news that I just had to tell someone and who better to tell other than the good folks here at Inkshares.
I know my last couple of post has been about the book I just released (Visit dljonesbooks.com/hypo for info on that book) But this bit of news is about Billette Hall!
I have to be honest, That contest last year, which I had Billette Hall entered, really drained me. I knew when I entered, I had an uphill battle. I didnt have many followers on inkshares, I’m more of a lurker than anything else on any other type of social media but I had a story that I thought would fit in that contest and I thought was different enough from your typical horror that I figured I had a shot at maybe getting picked as one of the others (The rules at the time said there may be other winners based on other criteria if you weren’t one of the top 3). I don’t know if anyone other than the top 3 were ever picked... I checked for a while then I slowly stopped checking.
During the 3 or so weeks I was entered in that contest. I wrote about 40k words of Billette Hall, about 12k-15k of that writing I scrapped.
To be honest, Billette Hall was something I started several years ago...as a Screenplay... Back when I was on a screenplay writing kick. I hadn’t gotten far along on the screenplay but I had a brief outline and the characters already created, I knew where I was going with the story when I started writing and I had pages from the screenplay that I had already written to give me a nice little head start.
Once I didnt win (which I never thought I would be one of the top 3... but I had strong hopes) I looked into self-publishing and that became the plan.
But I was drained... so I took a small break.
After my break, which was longer than I planned, I got back into things. I went crazy actually. I wrote and self published 9 Shorts under a pen name that completely different than my main. I then published 3 shorts and a full novel under my main pen name. Also got back to writing Billette Hall.
On to my news, what I’m excited about. This is getting long so I’ll spare you any more details. But I came across an opportunity to have a profession quality cover made and I jumped at it.
Zita Harrison is the cover designer... her site is https://zitaharrison.com/
Today she sent me the final cover design for the ebook and I am very happy with it. It looks awesome. Its a lot different than the one I used on this site. Some of the same concepts but different. I really want to show you guys but I’m not ready to put it on this site just yet.
Other news, I’m almost finished writing the book, I have editing/proofreading lined up waiting on me. and now I have a cover! The date I’m looking for as my release date is January 7th. I will do a pre-order way before them. This last book launch for HYPO taught me a lot of things. My plan was to release Billette Hall in the middle of December but after the HYPO book launch I feel I need to wait so that I can do things a little different
I wrote a Urban Sci-fi Thriller named "HYPO: The Complete Story"
That book is available for sale as of November 1st! Im Excited
That book is about 2 friends that has reunited for the first time in 10 years, one is a scientist, the other is a store owner. They get kidnapped on their way back to the airport. Luckily, the scientist was visiting to market a new experimental drug that his company was creating. That drug gives the user extraordinary abilities, Strength, Speed, Stamina and hardens their skin to near bulletproof.
They use the drug to try to escape from the kidnappers. The drug is still experimental so there are side effects that they weren’t aware of. Those side effect are learned when Chauncy (the store owner) keeps taking the drug trying to catch the thieves that broke into his store. He gets addicted and action ensues
You can get "HYPO: The Complete Story" On Amazon (Ebook and paperback) and B&N (Paperback)
I just wanted to let you guys know what I have going on right now. Billette Hall is still coming along nicely. Im very exited about progress. I have decided to write a short story based on one of the characters in the book (the 15 year old slave girl...I mention this girl in the synopsis). I’ll release that as a stand alone "prequel" short before the book releases.
One thing I’m very excited about is another book that I have been working on. I have a story called HYPO, that Ive been working on to be released. This story is actually being released as 3 shorts.
The first one, HYPO: Exordium, Is now available on Kindle/Amazon for 0.99 cents.
Chauncy and Tre are childhood friends. Tre, who works for a pharmaceutical company, is in town on business. Chauncy hadn’t seen Tre since college and decides they should catch up. After picking Tre up from the airport, they are ambushed and kidnapped. Held hostage in an old abandoned house. With hopes of escape, Tre and Chauncy use an experimental drug from Tre’s company that gives them extraordinary physical abilities.
Feel free to check it out.

Ive been BUSY! I have so many projects in the works that it’s been keeping me running in all directions.
Just a little update.
I will release Billette Hall on Amazon THIS YEAR! That’s what I keep telling myself. but I am targeting a late November 2018 release. I want to have 2 Novels completed and released this year with Billette Hall being the second of the 2 I have planned.
Another novel I am working on. I started before working on Billette Hall, will also be released this year. Im targeting a late October, early November release with that. The name of that Novel is "HYPO" it’s a sci-fi book.
Short Stories
I am impatient. or I have grown to be a little impatient. I have a lot of short stories I have written that I will now release as ebooks on Amazon. HYPO, the book from above is one. There will be a 3 part series released on Amazon based on the Novel and will release before the full Novel. September 17 is the estimated date for the first of those books.
The first one is called HYPO: EXORDIUM

Synopsis for the HYPO: EXORDIUM.
Chauncy and Tre are childhood friends. Tre, who works for a pharmaceutical company, is in town on business. Chauncy hadn’t seen Tre since college and decides they should catch up. After picking Tre up from the airport, they are ambushed and kidnapped. Held hostage in an old abandoned house. With hopes of escape, Tre and Chauncy use an experimental drug from Tre’s company that gives them extraordinary physical abilities.
Its been a while since Ive given an update but I figured I should let you guys know where Im at with Billette Hall!
Im so excited! Things are coming along, slow but getting there but Im starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
As you know, I had Billette Hall entered into the horror contest. I didn’t think I would get enough preorders to be able to be one of the top 3 but I was hoping my book would be interesting enough that I could be picked anyway after the fact. The rules for that contest said that there could be other winners picked based on different judge criteria.
That didn’t happen.
My pre-order period has come and gone and I didn’t renew or extend.
So what have i been doing?
Well I continued writing for a while then I took a little break. I started back and now Im about a month to 3 months away from finishing (depending on how motivated I can get myself lol).
At that point. Im going to start from the beginning and go over my book and try to get everything ironed out, mistakes, corrections and make sure it reads the way I think it read.
I already have someone lined up to copyedit the book, I will then send it off to that person. I have had some copyediting work done with this person before and was pretty happy, so Im looking forward to this.
After that, I will need to get a new cover design. Im not going to use the one on this page. I want something that looks a little better/more professional than the one I have.
At that point. I will decide if I want to give it another go on inkshares or just self publish it myself.
But thats where I am. I hope you all have a great day and spread the word about my book. I think the topic is truly a unique topic for the industry right now.
