All, thank you for the support. Things have been progressing well...
THIS IS IT EVERYONE!
Just a quick update to let you all know that I am still working quite hard on Mr. Butler. I enrolled in Camp NaNoWriMo for July and set a goal of writing 70,000 words for the book in 31 days...and I did it in 30:

All 70,024 (and counting!) words were written for Butler. Every day I’m working to make this the best damn book I can make it.
Just thought you, my wonderful investors, my support system, and most importantly, my friends, should know that I am giving this project every single spare moment I have. I’m still aiming for a September manuscript submission. I will keep you updated!
Thanks for hanging in there!
Love to all.
-Michael.
Hello Noxian Gate Readers!
Hope is the thing with feathers, and to help my book take flight I created this short video (https://youtu.be/zKh3-yE4eK0) describing my initial inspiration for sitting down to write.
We have until August 3rd to reach 250 books pre-ordered, and then by this time next year you could have a signed copy of The Noxian Gate in your hands. I think we can do it if you help me share the link with friends, family, science fiction fans, random people on the street - I’m not picky.
After you have annoyed all of your friends and family, stop on by the Noxian Gate website to write a glowing review (those really do help!). Let’s sell this thing! We have 5 whole days left!
Thanks for all of your support and kind words!
Warm Wishes,
Tim
