This is the way to hook the reader from the first sentence. I’m definitely getting a Martian vibe.
Hey all!! (Quick update)
And BAM, Chapter 3 - Cheat Code is here for your enjoyment. Stay tuned for more surprises ^__^

Listen... sure, I said the 17th. Did I try? Oh, baby, you bet I did. Did life decide that the 17th was the perfect day for a combination of hard drive failure, needing a new car battery, and a bunch of smaller nonsense that literally took up every waking hour? Apparently.
Gentle Reader,
As always, huge thank you to everyone who has preordered this humble project so far. Your support has sustained me thus far, and continues to mean the world to me.
This update is to inform folks on both sides of the fence of an exciting turn in the tale of this story’s journey towards publication: after receiving notes back and discussing the plot and the characters with my beta readers, Devil’s Call is going to double in length and quadruple in scope. (My math may not be accurate; I’m a writer, not an algebra teacher.)
What does this mean for you?
If you’ve already placed your order, it means you’re getting twice the story for the same price. It also means I’ll be borrowing a page from Amanda Orneck’s book (not literally, although you should head on over and get a copy of Deus Hex Machina if you haven’t already) and releasing chapters off-site, so you can start reading the finished novel ahead of publication, which is pretty dope.
If you haven’t ordered your copy yet, this means you’re getting a discount. Sure, if you wait for the eBook to publish on Amazon, you’re technically saving money in the long run, but it’s a hypothetical run, and a short one. Devil’s Call won’t make it to Kindle or Nook or any other platform without enough funding in the next 44 days, which is why it’s super important for you to head on over, preorder your copy, and then tell everyone you know how awesome this book is and why supporting independent authors is super important. Plus, you get a signed copy and bragging rights.
"You know that book everyone’s raving about? I helped get it published. I am a freaking badass."
You guys are the best,
J.
