Hello, Shadow King readers!

Hope your December is going well. I wanted to send you all a quick update to let you know that the development edit is done, and I’ve turned the manuscript back in to Inkshares! I’m very, very happy with how it has turned out and can’t wait for everyone to get their hands on a copy.

I’m hoping to get an ETA on when my project will kick-off soon, but I don’t have a hard and fast date yet. But as soon as I do, I’ll be sure to share the good news and any kind of timeline.

In the meantime, I’m working on two other things:

First, my funding campaign for "The Devil You Don’t" will close at the end of this month, and I’m pretty darn close to reaching Quill funding again. Several syndicates have endorsed the book, so if you haven’t checked it out, please take a look. I need just under 40 pre-orders before 12/31/17 to make the threshold--please consider sharing info about Devil with your fellow readers (or order a copy for yourself, I’m confident you’ll enjoy it!)

Second, yes, I have started dabbling on Shadow King 2 (clearly a working title right now). I’m planning to get started on this in earnest over the next few weeks.

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday and New Year, and I’ll update again soon.

All the best,
Susan

Hello there fantastic followers, 

Production of Beyond the Code is going great and I finally have to time to put all my efforts into marketing my debut novel. Part of my marketing plan has been updating Beyond the Code’s facebook page. This page will be chock full of Beyond the Code content such as news on production, concept art, reviews, interviews, and more. So please, follow the link and follow the page for Beyond the Code updates and content. 

https://www.facebook.com/BTCInkshares/

For those who have followed Beyond the Code but haven’t yet pre-ordered, please consider joining this club. Just see what these amazing authors have said about it. 

Craig Munro, author of Bones of the Past says "Elegant descriptions, endless action and super powers - go check out this urban fantasy"

Tony Valdez, author of Dax Harrison says "Fast paced, action-packed fantasy! I can see the movie in my head already!"

Brian Guthrie, author of Rise says "An amazing concept that you won’t regret supporting"

These awesome authors know their stuff, so trust them when they say that Beyond the Code is definitely worth your support. Help make my first novel as successful as possible before it’s release. 

Thank you all for following me on this journey.

Exciting news! My new author website is now live! Check out https://deborahmunroauthor.com to see all the great content.

For the past couple of months, I’ve been working with my web designer, Mary Ann Aschenbrenner of Waterlink Web to create a fabulous new website to promote my book, tell you more about me as a person, share my other publications, provide interesting and meaningful content on how to use social media for marketing, discuss science related to APEX (https://www.inkshares.com/books/apex), and provide a portal to connect with me on various social media platforms.

Hello, lovely readers! Things are going well. I’ve been on vacation with the husband and kids for the last couple days. I’m writing, reading, and networking like crazy. It will be hard to go back to work!

I’ve got a lot of treats for you this December. The latest update is my Bookish Survey and newsletter. I am going to send a newsletter about once a month, and if you sign up, I’m doing a giveaway that ends December 15. Here’s the link: https://goo.gl/forms/Kha6H44DuG9qi6J53

I’m giving away a customized book box, so if you want some holiday goodies for yourself or a friend, this is a great way to get them... Books selected just for you by a librarian! 

And as always, please share the Inkshares link, my book trailer, or pretty much anything :-) More to come!

Hey there, readers!

.

Despite my battling the start of a nasty head cold, yesterday’s signing event at Barnes & Noble went pretty damn good! I sold a decent stack of books, chatted with some cool people, and probably drank an unsafe-for-humans amount of coffee. Special thanks to everyone who came by, and to the awesome BN staff that let me set up shop for the day.

And of 16 names in the hat, the winner of the poster giveaway is... MAY KAYYALI! Thank you so much May for grabbing a copy of the book! I’ll be in touch with you soon.

And now to San Diego, AWAYYYY!

This coming Saturday, December 9th, I’ll be at the Mysterious Galaxy BookStore (hopefully minus head cold). Starting at 2PM, a handful of authors (including yours truly) will take turns getting on the mic and chatting about their books. Then we will split off into individual signing tables. Come join the fun! See the links below for more info:

ONE LAST THING! If you wish to buy a signed copy of the book, but you can’t make it out to these events, send me an email at rockhollywood8@gmail.com. I have about 20 copies on-hand that I need to sell. If you order directly from me, not only will you get a PERSONALLY SIGNED copy, but I’ll also send it out ASAP in time for Christmas. Got a friend or family member who might like a silly space adventure? Drop me a line!

I’m BACK!

It’s been a month and you probably enjoyed the quiet time, but wanted to let you know things are progressing well with Murder Happens. Gave myself a 4-month deadline, now one-month into it since the contest ended, and got a solid 40K done in that time. It’s all revisions, rewrites and new material. When draft two is done, will hand it off to Joan the Editor before putting it into the queue for the Inkshares dev/editing process.

Joan has another freebie for your kindle. The Dolls is my favorite horror short of hers. It’s really creepy. We tried to have it for Halloween, but some kind of crazy life thing happened.

Mike and I are still together, btw. It was tough, but he forgave me for that last minute pre-order that jumped MRDR HPPNS into 1st place…one ahead of The Vampire and the Dragon. He’s been sharing the plot premise of the trilogy which is a complete spoiler for me, but they’re going to be awesome for the rest of you. Guess that’s my payback.

Check out @deanfearce or my Facebook for the hell of it. 

This is a very brief update.

First, if you do not wish to receive updates, please email me at generosity20@gmail.com with the word "unsubscribe" or "stop" or any such thing.  I will add you to the master list so that you are not bothered again, and I apologize for inconveniencing you.

Second, the Copy Edits are finished and we’re looking at releasing around the Ides of March!

The cover art is updated, and pre-orders can now be placed through Amazon.com.  Either click the link or search Namednil.  The other book is mine as well.  It is a trashy vampire romance novel.  Folks seem to like it, but it is unedited and a little larger-than-life.  It’s also much more light-hearted than Borehole Bazaar.

I wish every last one of you TONS of success and joy in your endeavors!  If you’ve ANY questions, please feel free to contact me at any time.
