Dave Barrett liked an update for The Haida Gwaii Lesson: A Strategic Playbook for Indigenous Sovereignty

   THE E-BOOK OF THE HAIDA GWAII LESSON SHOULD BE IN YOUR E-MAIL  

Hard copies won’t be out until July 11th but we decided to set the E-books free ahead of the publication date so everyone can have a peek. After all, you’ve been waiting so patiently for so long. 

I want to thank you all for making this happen. And of course I want to hear from you. I have been working on this project for two years now and as you can imagine, I am both excited and nervous to hear what my generous supporters think of their investment. 

 Reviews are a large part of how this industry works; and today individual reviews are as valuable as published reviews. So if you like the book, and are so inclined, take a few minutes to review the book on:

Thanks once again for joining me on this journey and making this project a reality.

    Hi Everyone!

    Just a very quick update now.  Way back when I set up this page I asked people to follow only if they were interested in joining the crowdfunding.  I’ve got 60 followers here, but only about 35 people have preordered.  If you’re interested in supporting the sequel, this would be a great tine to jump on in!

    As always, thank you for your support!

        Dave Barrett liked an update for Storm of Fury

        Hello again,

        I’m going to try and get monthly updates out to you guys, but in truth there still isn’t much to report. No news is good news, right? Right. Regardless, if what I’ve been hearing is correct, then production of Storm of Fury should begin sometime soon*. I’d like to reach out and say a quick thanks to everyone that has stuck with me so far.

        Thank you. Your patience and support is appreciated more than you know, and I will do everything in my power to ensure that you get this awesome book you helped fund. It will happen, I promise. 

        Regards,

        Andrew Wood

          Good morning, Readers and Followers! 

          Just a quick update to let you all know that Draft #3 came back from my editor with very positive feedback! Okay, I’ll admit I might have bribed her with donuts...but she’s excellent at her job and I am excited to say that the next steps of publishing are quickly approaching!

          Cross your fingers and think some good vibes in the general direction of my novel over the next few weeks. I’ll be back with another update as soon as I know more details!

              Dave Barrett liked an update for The Astronaut Instruction Manual



              IT IS OFFICIAL:
              ’THE AIM’ TV SERIES OPTION CONTRACT SIGNED SEALED & DELIVERED
              The long-form contract for The Astronaut Instruction Manual tv series option by Legendary Entertainment (ie the studio behind such massive blockbuster films as Pacific Rim, The Dark Knight, Godzilla, Superman vs Batman, and Jurassic World) has been signed!

              ENORMOUS THANKS to the Team who made this happen:
              -Howie Sanders at United Talent Agency,
              -Matt Tolmach & Tolmach Productions,
              -the indispensable Brooklyn Weaver,
              -my amazing lawyer Howard Abramson at Behr & Abramson,
              -and most of all Inkshares and Adam Gomolin (!!!) who from Day One believed in The Astronaut Instruction Manual.

              What happens next? As I understand there will be an announcement upcoming of the The Astronaut Instruction Manual series’ showrunner (television writer) about whom I’m sworn to secrecy.

              (However, to "see what’s next" just do some networking and keep a lookout for someone worthy of adding daredevil to their credit. Got it?)

              Stay tuned, the best is yet to come,
              Mike Mongo

                Dave Barrett liked an update for The Madness of Mr. Butler

                Short update, I promise...

                In all honesty, it’s been a rough couple of weeks. We suffered a few terrible events in our family that led up to a great loss. I’m not going into great detail here, since this is a personal matter, but I felt you all deserved a good reason for why not much has happened over the past month. 

                BUT! There are good things afoot!

                1) I am a part of an arranged group of Inkshares authors, and we are all working together in order to polish our stories and make them the best they can be for when they arrive in your hands in 2018! I will give more details when I have them and when I am in a greater swing of things. But I assure you, this is a big deal. 

                2) I am still writing other things, and I want to share them with you! I have started a website called Tall Tales Told (click here: talltalestold.com) and it is a blog of sorts. I wanted to get an author page going, and that might be a part of things in the future, but I noticed something about most author pages: there’s no writing. Tall Tales Told is laced with what I’m calling "embellished nonfiction." I am telling tales from throughout my life, but with necessary embellishments, allowing for the fact that my memory of events might not be 100% accurate. I see these tales as something along the lines of David Sedaris in terms of delivery. Also, there is poetry! And it is illustrated by the amazing Phil Rood! (Please check out philrood.com, because this man is incredible and you should be buying his work.) 

                Tall Tales Told is also on Facebook and Twitter, and I plan on releasing all things Mr. Butler on this website as well. I am putting it all up there for your enjoyment, and for free. I hope you like it. Thank you for checking it out. 

                That’s all for now. There’s much more, of course, but my brain and heart are a bit frazzled by this insane month of May. 

                Thank you all for the support. I love you all. 

                -Michael.

                  Dave Barrett liked an update for A God in the Shed

                  Whoa... what a trip it’s been.

                  Before I get into that though, let me give you some good news. Better news than whatever I’ll be prattling on about.

                  So, have you pre-ordered A God in the Shed from Inkshares? You did? You’re awesome. In fact, you might have already received an email notification that your physical copy has shipped (if you ordered a physical copy that is. And you should have, because ooooh boy. Such lovely books. So, so lovely.). But let’s say you’re not into this ’waiting’ thing? What if you want to start digging into this tale of horror in a small down over this very coming weekend?

                  Well, you can. By the end of the day, the eBook version of A God in the Shed will be available to download from the site. .mobi and .epub will be available, as always. I sincerely hope you enjoy the book and that if you do, you’ll let me know. Review it on Amazon, on Goodreads. Send me a Tweet @jfdubeau. I want to hear from you guys. 

                  You’re my very favourite readers.

                  Which is why I put myself through Hell in order to sign all your copies of A God in the Shed. As promised, I flew myself to San Francisco on a plane leaving Montreal at 5:30AM, signed a bunch of copies as they were being packaged and shipped by the amazing Elena Stofle (with an assist from the dedicated Avalon Radys). Hung out and had dinner with Adam and then, at 11:30PM on the same day, was on a plane back to Montreal.

                  When I say I’d go to the ends of the Earth for my readers, I do not kid around.

                  Now please, enjoy the book. We’ve come this far, it’d be ashamed if you didn’t. 

                  JF

                  Such a pretty book... (note: Inkshares fed me cheese. They have won my heart once more)
