Yes!

Dear sentients, the time has come. The venue is secured, the day is chosen. If you live in or around Montreal and are so inclined, I would like to invite you to join me in launching The Life Engineered officially this coming February 3rd at 19h00 at Argo Bookshop in downtown Montreal.

Located near Guy-Concordia Metro, Argo is an adorable little hole in the wall and independent book store that goes hand-in-hand with the Inkshares spirit of finding and promoting indie authors.

Come say hello and meet the other wonderful people who helped make this book a reality. I’ll do a Q&A, maybe read from the book if you guys are into that. There will be refreshment (early organization talk that means ’some food and some drink but I don’t know what yet’).

This night is going to be about YOU guys, because this might be my book, but it’s as much your accomplishment as it is mine. I’m only sorry I can’t have every single backer and supporter there.

No ’need’ to RSVP, but if you’re planning to come and want to let me know, I’d appreciate it.

I hope to see you guys there.

Dear Sentients,

The rollercoaster rides on.

We are a little over a week from the official launch date for The Life Engineered. Already, many of you are receiving your copies and a few of you have already devoured the book. I’m seeing so many photos of my book in your hands and receiving so many positive comments that I’m at a loss for words. Which is a terrible predicament for an author.

As we get every closer to the launch date for The Life Engineered there are a few points I want to address with you, my friends:

1. If you’ve received and read your copy of The Life Engineered and you enjoyed it (I know you did), take a trip down to Amazon and leave a review. If you’re on Goodreads, leave a review there too. Reviews are crucial to rankings and rankings are important to sales and sales are what allow me to publish a sequel.
2. I’m still working on preparing a launch party. If you’re local to Montreal, stay tuned. The moment I have a venue confirmed, I will be making an announcement. I’d love to see as many of you there as possible. I have a mailing list! Because not every one of my readers are on Inkshares, I’ve started an independent mailing list. You can sign up here. If you’d rather just receive these updates however, don’t worry, all information about The Life Engineered and it’s sequels will be posted on Inkshares too.
3. I’m going on a trip! I’m not bragging, I’m just pointing it out because I might be difficult to reach for the next week. I’ll try to receive my emails and respond as best as I can but I’ll be on a boat, so internet access will be difficult.

These are exciting times my friends and none of it would be possible without you.

As always: Thank you so much for your support. I hope you’ll stay with me for the duration of this ride. There’s some cool stuff on the way.

JF
