Hello friends ~

I’m taking a couple minutes out of my busy schedule to let you all know that I’ve just had another interview posted with the wonderful John Robin ~ here’s the link : https://epicfantasywriter.wordpress.com/2016/03/18/world-builders-2-0-byron-gillian/

There’s some great stuff in there, so be sure to head on over and give the page a look, and support John’s efforts. His blog series has been instrumental to the Inkshares community, and I really appreciate being afforded another round. 

Also, I’ve been picking away at a side-project while continuing work on the manuscript for "Children." I’ve posted the draft for "The Darkest Places" on Inkshares, and I would be immensely grateful if everyone could head on over and follow the page, and read through the synopsis and first chapter. I’m really excited to spend more time on this little story in the near-future!

Hey Everybody,

Just a quick update as publishing week continues.

The first of the two podcast interviews is up. Fellow Inkshares authors JF Dubeau and Paul Inman had me on their WriteBrain Podcast. Check it out there or on iTunes. 

Also for anyone in the Chicago area, it’s time to party! I will be at Bucket O Blood Books and Records (3182 N. Elston Ave) tonight starting at 7 PM for my official book launch celebration. So take a break from binge watching Daredevil and eat something. Also, if you know anyone who is in Chicago who doesn’t yet have my book, send them that direction. Bucket O Blood has a Bucket O Copies.

Remember to write those Amazon reviews!!! I can’t stress that enough. Amazon reviews are super important to advertising this little book by a first time author who no one has ever heard of. That’s how people will hear of me or more importantly my book (drinking game...take a drink every time I say book). So please, please PLEASE  place a review on Amazon when you are done reading. Or while reading. Or before reading. I’m not particular. Here I’ll even make it cut and paste easy for you:

I liked this book.

I didn’t like this book.

There. Feel free to post one of these amazing reviews on Amazon.

Before I go I wanted to congratulate the winners of the Nerdist Space Opera Contest Michael Haase, Christopher Leone, and Patrick Edwards. So yeah, those books will be coming down the line, but there are still lots of other worthy stories that didn’t win looking for funding. So continue to check Inkshares to help fill your bookshelves/e-reader space/heart.

Anyway, I have to go deliver more postcards to anyone who will let me (and maybe a few who just won’t notice)...as always thank you.

Want to see pictures of the coolest people in the world?

Spoiler Alert: It’s You.

Good morning! There’s a new post on the Women Like Us Facebook page about the Beagle Freedom Project, which you can find below. Don’t forget 10% of anything I make on book sales will go to this wonderful organization so if you pre-order a book you’re also doing something good for the beagles. Also, please hit that ’Like’ button on the Facebook page if you haven’t already. Meanwhile, the edit and design phases are under way so stay tuned for more updates.  Next week I have a call regarding marketing set up with the Inkshares team, but if anybody has any other good marketing suggestions, please feel free to let me know!  Okay that’s it for now and here’s the link to the book’s Facebook page:
