Update on Sleepwalkers by Christopher Henckel

Hi everyone. Thanks to all of you who’ve pre-ordered a copy of my book Sleepwalkers. I entered this book in the InkShare Mystery/Suspense contest which closed in December 2018. The judges at InkShare have recently finished reading and judging all submissions. (It takes quite a while to read 160 novels). Unfortunately, Sleepwalkers didn’t win.

So does this mean Sleepwalkers won’t be published?

Not necessarily. Sleepwalkers will not be published by InkShare. But I may choose to engage another publisher at a later date.

What about refunds?

For all of you who were kind enough to pre-order a copy of Sleepwalkers, Inkshare has made full refunds about two weeks ago. If you have any questions about your refund, please email hello@inkshares.com.

But I’m dying to read your stories, Chris. Do you have any others published?

Yes! So You Wanna Be a Desperado Demon Slayer is available in ebook from Amazon. Think of this story as Blazing Saddles as a heist.

Also, My short story, Cowboy for a day, is published in the Writing Bloc: Escape Anthology, available in ebook or paperback from Amazon. Think of this story as Don Quixote in the old west.

Any other forthcoming books and or stories?

Oh yeah! Bootlegger is a full length novel that is mostly finished. Think of this story as Dukes of Hazard meets Firefly.

Outlaws and Villains: City in the Sky is another one of my full length novels and is mostly finished. Think of this story as Stand by Me meets Stargate.

Temporal Keep is a completed novelette. It story won an Honourable Mention in the 2018 Writers of the Future Contest. I’ll publish this at some point in 2019. Think of this story as The Cell meets Shawshank Redemption.

The Illusionist is a short story I’m currently writing this year’s Writing Bloc Anthology. Think of this story as The Prestige meets Chocolate.

Wow, you’re awesome, Chris. I want to be like you when I grow up.

Stop it. I’m blushing.
