Michael Haase liked an update for A God in the Shed

I don’t usually do two updates in one day but...

WE FUNDED!

So let me make something clear: I use the term ’we’ when talking about this campaign because while I write the book, it’s your support and encouragement that makes it happen. These aren’t empty words meant to artificially include you and make you feel like part of the process. The whole point of Inkshares is that this is a community effort. A symbiotic endeavour between reader and writer to help create works of fiction and bring them to the public.

There are a lot of people who have gone above and beyond for this to happen and I’d like to highlight at least three that can benefit immediately from your support:

John Robin, the author of Blood Dawn, spearheaded community efforts to rally people together after I called for help from fellow authors. John is a hard working writer and a helluva guy. Check out Blood Dawn and support it.

Andre Brun, my CEGEP buddy and author of Lies & Deception campaigned for me harder than I could campaign for myself. He leveraged his own book and his salesmanship skills to gather a ton of pre-orders and get A God in the Shed in front of many new pairs of eyes. Lies & Deception is a terrifyingly ambitious book that deserves your attention. Check it out.

Paul Inman, my cohost on WriteBrain and author of Ageless also lent a hand and was a big part of the community, leveraging the release of his own book to help get visibility for A God in the Shed. Check out Ageless, I read it and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Finally, let me plug my buddy Brian Guthrie who was a great help and is currently participating in the Geek & Sundry Hard SciFi contest on Inkshares. Check out his book After Man and support it with all your heart (and pre-orders).

More soon as thing develop and, as promised:

      Michael Haase liked an update for The Bully Book

      Another rejection from a very reputable literary agency, although they did say that I could write, and would welcome any further submissions from me. I suspect they’re just being polite, the bastards.

        Michael Haase liked an update for Dax Harrison

        All right, Dax fans, LISTEN UP! This is Commander Dax Harrison himself speaking.

        What happened to Tony? Well, he’s cooling his jets in the brig as we speak. His crime? Not getting his Inkshares Reader Updates out in a timely fashion. No worries, though. He’s learned his lesson, and he extends his humble apologies for keeping you fine folks waiting for his book.

        Speaking of which, when Tony approached me to write my official tell-all story, I thought "Sure! Go ahead! Be sure to make me look good, we’ll slap my face on the cover, and badda-bing! We’ll have it out by next Friday!" What he didn’t tell me was that he was actually going to be writing his first book ever and that it was going to be a bit of a process.

        So now I’m here to help convince you fine folks that our mutual friend isn’t some kinda Old West snake oil salesman who rode off out of town with your business. Though, I did find this old photo of him on his Facebook. Judging from the intensity of that mustache, I’m really starting to wonder...


        But never mind that now. Impressive facial hair histories aside, I’ve come to tell you that Tony has in fact COMPLETED my story! Yes, the book is written. So what happens now?

        Well, if anything is going to have Commander Dax Harrison’s stamp of approval, you better believe it’s going to be my life story. So we’re not quite done yet. Now, Tony will be sending the book out to a select group of trusted beta readers. These folks will review the book for him, and advise him on the stronger parts, the weaker parts, what works, what doesn’t work, what’s great, what’s not so great, what’s downright terrible, and so on. If my story is going to be told, it’s going to be told right!

        So hang tight, cadets. This is where the real fun begins. The polish. The spit-shine. Whatever your preference. And I’ll see to it personally that Tony sends you out some regular updates. If he doesn’t, I’ll get some Verdasian moonshine in him, strap him to the hull of my ship and zip around Neptune a couple hundred times.

        Yours truly,
        (The Legendary) Lt Cdr. Dax Harrison

          Michael Haase sent an update for The Madness of Mr. Butler

          Very quick update, my lovelies:

          I got to interview Jeremy Thomas, the CEO here at Inkshares, and you can read it here:

          http://renderositymagazine.com/writing-wednesdays-with-michael-haase-interview-with-jeremy-thomas-ceo-of-inkshares-com-cms-487

          It was quite kind and generous of him to lend his time to me for the interview. Be sure to read it, you’ll learn a thing or two about Inkshares!

          Also, I apologize for any delay in responding to any of you. Writing and everything else has kept me quite busy. I am currently revamping my schedule to be more regular, and I will get back to you soon, my friends. Lots of movin’ and shakin’ going on over here!

          In the meantime, go browse through the books on here and support some amazing authors! 

          And definitely check out the Geek & Sundry Hard Science contest, because I know from personal experience that every author involved is in a state of high stress, and a purchase from you could literally make their day.

          Have a great day everybody.

          -Michael.

            Michael Haase liked an update for Mission 51

            Hello everyone! Hope your week is going smoothly, and that you’re reading and writing away!

            I’m working on yet another pivotal chapter, this one called "Roswell Revisited." I have it mostly outlined now, so I just need to fill in the blanks. Some of the coolness includes Dr. Linda Deltare’s first look at the dead alien and his spaceship in Roswell, AND... her very first glimpse of her assignment, Mat!

            Peace, y’all!
            Ferd.  :-)
