Today is an amazing day...my daughter turns two! I cannot believe how quickly that happened! If you would, just wish her a quick happy birthday out loud to yourself. I’m sure she will feel the love. Thank you for that. 

Obviously, I will be quite busy today...which is why I’ve been quite busy this morning! 

Chapter 4 is up and ready for you to read, along with the prologue and other chapters. Please feel free to critique and chat with me about the material...this is first draft work, after all! I hope you enjoy the new chapter...chapter 5 is coming soon as well.

ALSO! There is a new entry posted in The Madness of Mr. Butler’s prequel, The Diary of Mr. Butler! This time, he reflects on his short-lived adventure in the sea. 

(For you new readers, I am posting entries from Mr. Butler’s journal that he kept prior to the events in The Madness of Mr. Butler. It is meant as supplementary material, and is not necessary for understanding the book. I’m writing it to give back to all of you wonderful readers, and it will always stay open and free to read!)

And, as always, let me know directly if you have a book that you would like to pitch to me! I’ve bought a few books on here that sound amazing, and I’m more than willing to trade pre-orders! In fact, trading pre-orders has become a great source of friendship on here. I’ve interacted with a few great people because of that initial interaction. It’s not just a business transaction, it’s networking! So, let’s help each other out!

I wish everyone the best on this, one of the greatest days of my life. 

If you’ll excuse me, I must go make sure my ER nursing skills aren’t put to the test by the mini trampoline we just got our toddler...

Peace, love, and happy reading/writing!

-Michael.
