Mike often finds himself asking if it was one terrible decision he’d made, or a series of small ones that caused his life to turn out how it had. All he wanted to do was fix old machines. Why did it have to be like this?
Hello friends of BLACK FOREST! I know that several of you have been wondering what’s been going on, when the book will be released, fun crystal ball questions like that. Since my crystal ball is due for a good cleaning, I can only give you the fuzziest glance into the future, and it looks something like this:
Because of Covid-related lunacy, production for all Inkshares titles has to be readjusted, including BLACK FOREST. What does that mean for me (and for you)? Right now we’re looking at summer 2022 release dates ... but it’s very likely that I won’t have a confirmed date until later this year.
Which really just means we’re still on track, I’m going to do another round of edits on my own, honing and crafting and all those other fun things that keep writers awake at night. And as soon as my crystal ball gets back from the cleaners, I’ll give you more specific details.
Thanks for your patience and support, friends -- I promise you, it will be worth it! xXOo L
Friends,
Sometimes, a story needs telling to make others aware of an injustice that needs righting. When you read Even Blue Birds Sing, you should be outraged that the protagonist not only really lived this horror, but more importantly, she is STILL living it thirty years after the awful events. TODAY, in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, she still has no way to exist other than underground, without the safe ability to see her son. This just isn’t right, and I am asking that you not only read her story but also support its publication---and thus spread awareness---with a nomination before May 1. Together, we can work to enact laws that protect abuse victims and make the abuser culpable for a change. Together, we can make this an America that cares. Thank you. Karen Buyno
