I’m THRILLED, with a capital "T", to  announce my NEW website at www.kriscalvin.com. If you have a minute,  please click around a bit, and let me know what you think... My favorite is the NEWS & EVENTS page. Stay tuned, it will fill up rapidly due to the  ongoing support and advice Inkshares  provides about how to put myself and ONE MURDER MORE  out there! (If you’re not yet published through Inkshares, keep at it. I’m the only  author I know who raves about his/her publisher!

Other Updates? Prepping to  crowdfund Book 2 in The Maren Kane Sacramento-based mystery series. The 750 preorder threshold is daunting. Still, I’m happy  a high bar is required, achieving it will represent true democratic publishing. (Especially if a coin flip is involved. Although if you didn’t follow the Iowa caucus results, ignore that.)

Thanks for "backing", for "following"... in short, for being an artist and/or supporting  the arts. 

Life is good.

Dear friends and backers, sentients of all class and model, it is an important day indeed. While The Life Engineered is only releasing to the general public on March 1st, to those of you that have supported this project and have been the pillars upon which this dream has been built, the digital copies are being released today.

If you haven’t already, you will soon receive an email from Inkshares with instructions on how to get your digital version of The Life Engineered. It’s my sincere hope that you will read and enjoy it. Writing and editing it has brought me great pleasure, logic should dictate that you the readers are next in line for that joyful process.

However, I do have one more favour to ask.

Once you’ve read it, if you enjoyed the book, it would mean the world to me (and be favourable to book sales and thus my writing career) if you would be so kind as to rate and review The Life Engineered on Amazon and/or Goodreads.

Rankings are insanely important and reviews are a large part of it all. You wonderful intelligences have already done a lot for me but I know I can count on you to help with yet another step.

Again, thank you so much. I won’t lie; a big part of why I want these reviews is because I’m dying of curiosity to know what you thought of the book. I’m eager to engage in conversation about this story and, if you want to discuss it with me or other readers, join me on Facebook at my writer’s page.

Cheers my friends, and good reading.
