Just a quick update for all of you who pre-ordered my novel, Immortal Red. I will be leaving INKSHARES for a late-spring release Immortal Red through a traditional publishing house. INKSHARES has assured me that they will be issuing refunds to all who pre-ordered the novel. Please visit me at khummelfiction.com, wwwfacebook.com/keith.hummel.9655 and, on Twitter @khummelfiction for continuing updates on publishing and release dates.
My heartfelt thanks to all who have supported this story.
“When to call me: you’ve been stabbed, shot, poisoned, separated from an appendage, knocked or beaten unconscious, run over by a tractor mower, or generally about to bleed to death. Otherwise, leave me alone.” — Aurelius Hogue MD, Doc Hollywood, 1991 Welcome. This blog belongs to a long time MD, a short time MFA. Doctor by profession, novelist by habit.What I do on this blog: Every week, I’ll design infections, injuries, psychoses and neuroses for your fictional characters. You tell me the effect you want and I’ll tell you how they get there. Think of it as medical care in reverse.What I don’t do on this blog: I do not diagnose or treat your real life infections, injuries, or psychiatric conditions. I do not help you undertake real-life nefarious pursuits. This advice is meant to be taken only in the spirit it is intended: helping bad things happen to good characters, fact meeting fiction.Ground Rules: My ask box is always open, but the Doctor is only in once a week. Please keep your novel’s specifics out of your message. No character names, keep the scenarios general — we want it to be useful for more than one writer, if we can. Please do provide age and sex and any pertinent pre-existing conditions. I don’t need to see your character’s insurance card. What is your chief complaint?The Doctor is in.— The Doctor

On December 17, 2019, my science thriller, IMMORTAL RED, began its ninety-day funding cycle on Inkshares Publishing. In twenty-nine-days it has become the pick of the month of two Inkshares Syndicates. First, Avalon Melissa Radys, Director of Marketing and Publishing Operations at Inkshares chose IMMORTAL RED an Inkshares Staff Syndicate pick.
On January 16th, Janna Grace, the #5 most influential reader at Inkshares, informed me that IMMORTAL RED was the January 2020 choice of the Bechdel Syndicate.

All, thank you for the support. Funding has passed the 100 pre-order milestone (113) I will be at The University of Chicago Graham School this week. This will be my final class time before finishing my graduate copyediting certificate with a concentration in developmental editing. I highly recommend the program if you have any interest. It is a tough year but worth every second invested. Several publicity and funding events are in the planning stages. I will be adding the book’s prologue to the READ section of my Inkshares page the following week.
