Michael Haase liked an update for An Unattractive Vampire

Hahaha.

Haha.

Ha. So much news...

First of all, there have been sightings of a strange and hilarious creature, stalking local bookstores praying on the minds of readers. Witnesses have placed it at Powell’s Books in Portland...
  
...at Unabridged Books in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago...


...and at City Lit Books in Logan’s Square also in Chicago.

  
If any of these locations are near or known to you, authorities recommend you take public safety into your own hands by capturing these potentially dangerous abominations. 

Yeah, so enough of that. My book is out!!! Like not officially or anything, but it can be located in physical places. That’s great.

You know what else is great? This review from Publisher’s Weekly.

What’s more...I just discovered that the review feature on Amazon is up and working for my book. Why is this important? Here’s an infographic:

  
So yes, between 50 and 100 reviews (another number I’ve heard thrown around for algorithms. Please, please, PLEASE...go to Amazon and leave a rating and review. Even if it’s just "I liked it" *Five Stars.* ESPECIALLY if it’s just "I liked it" *Five Stars.* If you already posted a review on Goodreads or Netgalley, copy and paste is your friend. This is incredibly important for the success of the book, especially for a first-time, unknown author such as myself. 

And just a reminder again, that the official launch party for An Unattractive Vampire will be at Bucket O’ Blood Books and Records on March 18th at 7 PM. Here’s the Facebook event page so that you know this is totally a real thing and not just another black market toe harvesting scam.

Almost done.

There’s about a week left to go in the current Inkshares Space Opera contest. Once you’re done writing a rave review about how my book changed your life in ways you don’t fully comprehend, consider helping another person live this dream of stress and uncomfortable self-promotion by purchasing a book like...

The maddening tale of a so-called "round planet" in The Madness of Mr. Butler by Michael Haase 
Space truckers and conspiracy in Lucky by RH Webster
The dangerous and nearly extinct human being in The Life Interstellar by Zack Jordan
Interstellar inebriation in Space Tripping by Patrick Edwards
Retro spies and rocket ships in To Live and Die in Avalon by Jason Chestnut

And again...thank you all.

    Michael Haase liked an update for Transilience

    This is it. The final day.

    I’d like to thank everyone who supported Transilience.

    This campaign has afforded me an opportunity to meet some very generous souls. Not only with their money. But their time. And their advice.

    I have learned a great deal over the past three months. About myself. About my novel. About how to move forward.

    In the short term, the plan is to try and hoodwink an agency or a publisher into picking up Transilience. In the long term, I will always keep my options open. I will continue to lurk on this site. Perhaps another contest will come along for which Transilience is ideally suited.

    I have no idea what life on Inkshares is like after a campaign, but I am fairly confident I can keep Transilience up here as a draft. 

    I will also devote more time to my blog, Skid Rogue Haven. If you have enjoyed my updates here, perhaps you will enjoy whatever it is that appears on the pages of that site. :)

    Thank you again, one and all. Due to the nature of our collective acquaintances, I can only ever use words to describe my gratitude, and I fear words alone can not do the feeling justice. You are all wonderful people.

    Cheers,

    Kev
