    Fernando Crôtte liked an update for Infodemic

    Thank you all for the support of INFODEMIC. 

    If you have five minutes, I’d love to hear what you think of the first five chapters. Could you write a REVIEW on the Inkshares site and/or SHARE the book using the "Share" link on the Inkshares page? This is especially helpful for the contest rankings. :)

    I’m linking to the chapters below for easy access. 

    Best regards,
    Stephen

      Fernando Crôtte liked an update for Mama’s Goin’ Backpacking

      Hey, my wonderfully supportive armchair-travelling friends!  I wanted to say thank you again.  You have brought me to almost 100 (wow!) followers in the Writing Contest I’ve entered through Inkshares.   I’ve just uploaded Chapter #4 – Beans, Boys, and Bad Beds onto my Inkshares site (https://www.inkshares.com/books/mama-s-goin-backpacking) – hope you enjoy.  

      Reviews are particularly helpful toward my contest ratings (😊). Leave a comment in the REVIEW tab of that site if you have time and SHARE the site with friends you think will enjoy it as well.  Thank you again.

        Fernando Crôtte liked an update for Lost in the Fog

        Aloha All,

        Thank you to everyone who has let me know they have received their copies of Lost in the Fog!  It’s been a long journey to publication, and I’m extremely excited for you to finally have the opportunity to read the book!  The calls, texts, emails, DMs, and social media posts you’ve shared have made me incredibly happy.

        For those who have yet to receive their copies, please know the books have shipped and are on the way.  Your wonderful neighborhood mailperson will be getting it into your hands very soon! 

        When you do receive your copy of Lost in the Fog, I’d love to hear from you.  And if you’re able to post a picture of it to the social media outlet of your choosing, I would greatly appreciate that as well!  You can tag me with @mikeozzie for Instagram and @MichaelOWriter (both Facebook and Twitter).

        Mahalo!

        -Michael

          Fernando Crôtte liked an update for Bane of All Things

           Howdy! How is this holiday season shaping up for you and yours?

          In our house, circumstances have prompted gift shopping to be already done in record time, pending a few more doorstep deliveries. (A gift for my wife has a delivery window as late as Dec. 23 – should I worry?)

          I want to thank everyone who has so far taken the time to support me in Inkshare’s new All-Genre Manuscript Contest, which I introduced in my last update.

          If you haven’t done so, please do! I am competing against 100+ other entries and it’s getting interesting.

          My contest entry is The Crucible Tree, book 2 in what I plan to be a four-book series. You can check it out at https://www.inkshares.com/books/the-crucible-tree

          Remember, this contest is not a pre-order campaign like before with Bane of All Things. It is the first time that Inkshares is running a contest that is scored on social engagement metrics only.

          All you need to do is:

          1.     Visit the above link

          2.     Sign in to Inkshares as you did before (You may need a password reset – easy to do)

          3.     Then click to Follow The Crucible Tree (It may not stick if you click Follow then sign in, without clicking Follow again)

          4.     You can also help boost me up the contest standings if you read my sample chapters and post a Review

          This contest is an opportunity to promote my work ahead of next summer’s release of Bane of All Things. New authors can easily become one-book wonders if their first book doesn’t sell well. Anything you can do now to support me in this contest could help me be more successful down the road.

          (FYI: If you visit the Leaderboard for this contest and wonder, “Why in heck is The Crucible Tree so far down the list?”, be aware that the public ranking algorithm doesn’t reflect the actual metrics that matter in this particular contest.)

          On the cancer front, I have just passed the halfway point in my one year of gene therapy. Been a few bumps along the way, but I appear to have achieved a ceasefire with the couple of side effects that were troublesome. Onward and upward!

          Again, thank you for all your patience and support. Have a great holiday season and keep safe.

          Cheers

          Leo
