Michael Haase's latest update for Mr. Butler/The Man Who Stole the World

May 28, 2016

It has been quite some time since a little update on here...but, there’s children (plural) at my home now, and they both expect me to take care of them. Good thing they’re absolutely adorable...


I love being a dad. Life is good. All is well.

Here are the updates: 

The Madness of Mr. Butler: I told the Inkshares team that I will be turning in the manuscript in late August/early September. Then, we can get started with all of the editing/design, etc. Sadly, this means your books will not get to you until early next year. BUT! It’s going to be a great read. I’ve changed a ton for the better, and once my new chapters get out to my beta readers and they stab them repeatedly and I suture them back up anew, I will start posting new chapters. I will update more often. 

It was not an easy decision to rewrite so much, but I’m interested in getting you all my best work, not my quickest. Thank you for your patience. 

An Adventure With Dada: It’s reached 81 preorders! I couldn’t be happier! And I’m very proud of this novel. It still needs edited and polished, but the story is all written and complete. 

...And I plan on doing what no other book has done on here (that I’ve noticed). Once I reach 100 preorders I WILL PUT THE ENTIRE FIRST DRAFT UP. If you like comedic novels, I think you’ll like this one. It’s weird, it’s dark, but it’s also oddly heartwarming (?) in places. I’m confident enough to put the entire thing up to read. But only after 100 is reached. And then I will take it down a week later, unless 125 preorders are reached, then back up for a week...and so on. 

Plus, I made a friend in Argentina who is collaborating with me on a video for the book to put up on the page. I’ll let you know when that happens.

That’s all for now, as it’s too much! 

I wish everyone the best, and I look forward to seeing what happens in this new contest!

All my love, 

-Michael/Dada
