Kacie Davis Idol liked an update for And the Wolf Shall Dwell

Hi all,

A very exciting week had passed so I had to send an update before the weekend was upon us.

First - "And The Wolf Shall Dwell" broke the 200 preorders!! As I promised - I have uploaded CHAPTER 4 . This is a crucial chapter that helps understanding the plot line. so if you rather wait for the whole book, it’s your call.

I want to take this opportunity and thank whoever ordered so far and whoever is planning to order soon!

2nd- A special thanks to Maayan Menashe who managed to get the novel to feature on Israeli HAARETZ’s BookShelf. Amazing achievement as this is the first time they included a novel that is not yet published.

3rd - Among the published authors who have already ordered the book I can now count the talented Kasey Davies Idol, whose book "the Tulip Factory" is soon out . check it out! A personal special thanks to Kasey who took the time to help by guiding me through the different pre-order marketing technics, out of her own experience (with 1,114 orders, she must have done something right!).

4th and last - We will feature in the next meeting of "Books Cat Coffee" blog writer’s book-club. they don’t normally do unfinished books, but decided to give me a chance, to which I’m grateful. check out her blog in the link above.

Guys, let’s break Quill (250 orders) please help me by forwarding the book page to any prospect. BTW - If you weren’t aware - whoever orders 3 real books ("Spymaster") gets his name in the end of the book as a patron. Pamper your loved one by placing them in a twisty spy thriller.

Many thanks,

Jonathan

Kacie Davis Idol liked an update for The Madness of Mr. Butler

It’s time to answer the great question I’ve been asked several times: "When will the damned book come out?"

Here’s your unequivocal answer: "I’m not sure yet."

Perhaps I was being a little lax about my use of the word "unequivocal."

Here’s the deal: Inkshares is awesome. They want me to get my best work out to you. They are not rushing me. As of right now, I tentatively sent them a submission date for my manuscript for "sometime in May." (There I go, failing to be unequivocal again.) Once I submit my manuscript and submission packet (don’t worry about that, that’s for me to figure out), then the process begins. If you fish around on other books’ pages that are in the status of "in production," you will see a progress bar with an anticipated release date. I will only obtain such things after I submit my manuscript. So, it’s all up to me.

And when will I be submitting my manuscript? I’m not sure yet. Hopefully by May. And then hopefully the book will be out in autumn...maybe by Christmas. I’m not sure yet.

Sorry for the unequivocal level of ambiguity in this update...

The reasons for any delay are as follows, and I believe they are good reasons:

1) I want to submit the BEST book, not the fastest. I am a fast storyteller, I have written an entire novel in a month, but that does not mean that I want that version of the novel to be released upon the general public. You all are my backers, my loved ones, my friends...if there is a little longer wait, then it is out of respect for your investment. I believe Mr. Butler is an amazing story (it’s kind of grown a lot larger than I thought! It might even become a series...?), and I want it to be the best it can be. On the flip side of that coin, I promise not to be a perfectionist and keep polishing this thing into the ground up until the point of being released in 2019. I do know when to stop.

2) My son is due to be born in May. Could be any day now. Not sure. But he will require focus, and that might delay things, perhaps. Got a problem with that?

In the meantime, I’m also enjoying my time as a staff writer for Renderosity Magazine. So far, I have four articles involving me:

1) An interview with me as a novelist and my approach to writing

2) An interview with me as a new staff writer, and what I plan on bringing to the magazine

3) Four reasons why you should write every day

4) How writing improves all art

I plan on writing articles about Inkshares for the magazine, and I plan on featuring author interviews in the near future. I’m also going to be doing reviews of writing software. (I’m currently enjoying "Ulysses" for Mac and iPhone...amazing.)

I want to motivate all others to write, so please don’t hesitate to contact me at madmrbutler@gmail.com. Inkshares is an incredible opportunity if used wisely. So let’s all get wise. Also, don’t be offended if I don’t get back to you right away. I have filled my plate at present.

Good luck to all who are involved in the new Geek & Sundry contest. Those contests are beasts, so let me know if you need any advice, and don’t be afraid to connect.

Thank you all for your support and your patience.

Have a wonderful day.

-Michael.
