I’m officially launching my campaign today in hopes to reach the top 3 in the 2017 Inkshares Horror Contest.

Pre-order Incentive for Writers:

For every pre-order, I will be offering a free beta-read / critique of any author’s first 3 chapters. That is at least a $50 value for a minimum of $10. Just post your chapters on Inkshares and provide me with your approval to add thoughts and comments to your project page. (Or if it’s better for you, please send me a MS Word file and I’ll update it with comments and red-lines).

I am also an amateur, so take my critique however you like. No one way is the right or wrong way, but having others’ insight can help jog your brain to come up with new and interesting ways to get your story across.

My schedule for the campaign:

I have a day job from 9am-5pm so will be busy most of the day. However, every night I plan to send out x5 Personal Messages to friends and family for support. I will also allocate time to read and critique x1 Inkshares Project every night, in the order which pre-orders are received. Every weekend, I will plan to post updates with my novel’s status and interesting stories behind what inspired the tale. I’ll also reach out to online communities (subreddits, etc.) who may be interested as well.

Place a pre-order today and receive a free beta-read with comments, feedback, and suggestions on your first 3 chapters on Inkshares.

Hello Followers, 

The Dark Mountain is officially part of the 2017 Inkshares Horror Contest. 

I’m currently away in the mountains with spotty wi-fi and didn’t realize the book was in draft mode. Sorry for the confusion. I’m hard at work on a final version of my book. I waited almost 2 years to have my novel reviewed by Catherine York at critiquemynovel.com...and it was worth the wait. I’ve got several new ideas how to streamline and make the book "work" better...which includes a new opening chapter that combines the best parts of chapters 1 and 2. 

I will get back to campaigning soon, but for now my abilities are limited. I am working with my company on a feature/interview about the project, which should reach over 200,000 employees worldwide. Bear with me as this feature may not go live until Sept/Oct time-frame. Until then I will ring out as many orders as I can from my limited network.

The good thing is this contest features many professional judges that read the works and have the ability to choose novels even if they don’t reach the goal. So all the support you can give will help: follow, post a review, and place a pre-order if you can. All support is welcome!

Nauselbaum,

M.R.R.

Happy Weekend Monkeys,

Big news for this week, Monkey Business has officially sold over 1,000 copies since being published. In my heart that’s always been a huge milestone so I’m really pretty happy. A big thank you is in order to all of you who helped make that happen.

So hey, click here to listen to a sample of the Monkey Business Audiobook!

And if you want to get your own copy of that audiobook, you can have one for free if you pre-order my new novel, Black Cloud.

That is all my friends. I hope you have a great weekend!
