In a post-apocalyptic future, fractured timelines are wreaking havoc on the world. Only a tough, hard-drinking enforcer named Jack Trevayne can hold things together. This is gritty, hard-boiled sci-fi with attitude. The future is complicated. Jack is not.

Composing an appropriate "thank you" to everyone is proving to be more difficult than writing a novel. I am overwhelmed by today. Thank you for your support. i will be posting an appropriately long-winded essay of gratitude in the near future.

For now, please accept this simple statement of thanks. "The Madness of Mr. Butler" will be edited, marketed, published, and distributed in full. This win means the world to me, and I literally could not have done it without everyone’s support. I came in second, and the third place book sold the exact same number of copies that I did...I just had five more readers, and that’s what put me into second.

Literally every single one of you counted. Thank you.

If I have begun to achieve my dream, then I now know that achieving a dream only requires tireless work...

...and countless people who believe in you.

Thank you.

    You all have no idea what this means to me...I just passed quill, so no matter what happens in the contest, I’m a published author. I am literally crying right now. Perfect strangers are going to be holding and reading my book...

    ...unreal. I am uncontrollably happy right now. Thank you for all of your support. 

    I will not disappoint. I promise you that. I will uphold my end of the promise of becoming a published author.

    I love you all. Truly.

    -Michael

      It’s been a relatively long time since the last time I updated everyone (like maybe a couple of days...haha), but so much has happened! 

      First, I was interviewed by Renderosity Magazine about my views on writing. I cover some personal perspectives, the process of composing a novel, and some little advice I’ve gathered over the years. It’s a fairly extensive interview, and I promote Inkshares a little bit, too. You can read the interview by clicking here.

      I was honored to be part of the last blog interview for the Space Opera contest as well. This time, I had to cast Mr. Butler for the movie version. What a difficult question...I did my best, and you can read it here.

      Also, I’m working hard to get more material written and posted. I will do so as I feel it’s ready, and it’s all open to be talked about and critiqued. Please don’t hesitate to let me know what you think. 

      While we’re on the subject, I’d like to help other authors on here with support and critiquing. I put up the offer on the new Goodwill Train 2.0 thread on Goodreads. Basically, let’s reach out more directly to one another. Email me at madmrbutler@gmail.com and let me know what I can do for you, especially if you just want me to know more about your novel! Let’s network and help each other get published! There’s no reason everyone can’t reach their goals. Just let me know what I can do. 

      Finally, I wish everyone the best. This contest experience has been emotional and exhausting, and it’s coming down to the final days. If you haven’t pre-ordered your copy of The Madness of Mr. Butler, please consider doing so by clicking here. 

      I look forward to hearing from everyone, and please push your book in my direction...I have credits I’d like to use!

      All of my love,

      -Michael
