Hello all!

The Inkshares blog has a new post where we talk about our "dream cast" for our books. It took me a while to come to my final selections, but by no means should you let this restrict your imagination of what these characters look like. This is just one possibility and, in reality, probably none of these actors would agree to be in a film version of this book ;)

I’m concerned that I’m still not getting any new reviews for the book, so rather than just beg, I’m going to build a three-legged stool for why you should review my book: 

1. It’s easy. Just click "Read more" under the first chapter, then click the "Leave a Review" link on the bottom of the screen. Then start typing. 
2. Not only are you entered in a raffle to win a free shirt, you get a warm and fuzzy feeling inside for helping me out. ;)
3. You would be helping me out tremendously. People look to reviews to see if a book is worth their time at all, so they are extremely important. 

I know it’s asking a lot of you to not only take the time to read three chapters of a book, but to also put forth the effort to write a review, so I understand your hesitation. At the same time, it’s critical for the book and I would owe you one. I certainly don’t want to tell you how to write a review, so here’s just one book with two short and sweet reviews as an example.  

Prefer to read a PDF? Well here then (the first three chapters plus a bonus chapter). Better get it fast, it’s only available for a couple days. Right now "First on Mars" has about 40 readers and 1 review. Don’t make me hunt down each and every one of you until you review this book! (metaphorically speaking)

Thanks again for your support!

Such a great week. First things first: 

Yesterday my son, Andrew Phoenix Haase was born! He is healthy and amazing, and I’m just using this email as another means for shouting it all from the mountaintops. Here he is: 

Also, I recently interviewed the one and only Jim McDoniel, author of "An Unattractive Vampire." He was very generous with his time and detail in his interview. You can read and enjoy that here: http://renderositymagazine.com/news.php?viewStory=539

Other than that, my latest effort, a dark comedy about fatherhood entitled "An Adventure With Dada" is doing pretty well funding thus far, and I thank any and all of you who have already pre-ordered. If you would be so kind as to stop by the page, check it out, leave a review or make a recommendation, or perhaps even pre-order a copy in honor of my son’s birthday (manipulative much, Mr. Haase?) that would be fantastic. You can check out the page here: An Adventure With Dada!

And an enormous thank you is in order to all of you who have recently purchased Mr. Butler. Keep the word of mouth going and let me know if you have any questions/need anything. The book is still progressing well, but recent birth events will put work on the book back just a little while longer. I hope you understand. Of course you do. Thank you, I appreciate that. 

As always, please keep in touch. You can direct message me on here anytime. 

Fellow authors: I’d be happy to look over any of your work and perhaps leave a review, buy a copy, make a recommendation, etc...but please reach out to me. I am far too distracted at this time to initiate anything, I hope you understand. 

Love to each and every one of you.

-Michael/Dada
