Hello, my friends!

Thursday was an excellent day for Eudaimonia, I found out that it made it into the Launchpad Manuscript Competiton TOP 10! 

When I submitted it back in July I could have only dreamed it would make it this far. MIND BLOWN. Totally amazing! 

But, the Launchpad contest is completely up to the judges. We don’t have much control over what they decide. You know what we DO have control over? This here Inkshares Pre-Order Contest. This is won by you and me, asking our people nicely to pre-order Eudaimonia. 

We are sitting in 3rd place on the Inkshares Leaderboard and October 9th is fast approaching. If you haven’t pre-ordered, would you please consider doing so?  If you have pre-ordered, would you please share this link with a couple of your people?

We are so close!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Your friend,

Friends!

There’s an alternate universe where I do things I say I’m going to do in a timely fashion and don’t pop up a month after my novel’s been published to check and see how everyone’s doing, but you know. Life.

.

In this universe, my father asked me how to leave a review, as there is no information as to how to do so on the Inkshares page. So shout out to Papa Dorn, for without him I would have continued putting off this update.

First off: if you preordered either an ebook or paperback copy, you most definitely should have received it by now. If you haven’t, please contact either myself or the good folks at hello@inkshares.com and we’ll figure out what the heck happened.

Second off: I know some of you aren’t wordsmiths, so even just choosing a number of stars and telling the Internet that you enjoyed the novel and would recommend it helps me out in mysterious ways. There’s an algorithm Amazon uses that helps make Devil’s Call more visible once reviews hit a certain number. My sources say the number is 50, but who knows.

Please note that you need to have an account and be signed in in order to leave a review.

Happy Monday everyone.  

Just wanted to let everyone know that after a bit of hyper-focus to the point of nearly blacking out, the BLUE WATER cover has been updated.  I think this is quite near what the final design will look like, but there’s always room for a couple tweaks here or there.  Seeing this makes it all feel pretty real. It’s getting closer and closer to our turn at the plate.

Whaddaya think, sirs?

Hello friends!

A couple of things going on, aside from the rewrite:

1) I hope you all received the prologue. It’s a quick read, and it sets the mood for the book. Any and all feedback is welcome. I hope it makes you laugh. This is my first draft of the prologue, and I liked it so much I wanted to put it up on the page to share. Special thanks to my good friend Peter Ryan for the help with the Aussie slang. Thanks to your help, the dialogue is fair dinkum. Peter is a fellow author, and quite the talent. You can buy his released book, "Sync City," here, and follow his next book, "Destiny Imperfect," here.

2) We are looking at a possible title change. Not that I don’t like "The Madness of Mr. Butler," but it would be great to get a title that captures the mood of the book as well as give an indication that it is sci-fi in its roots. My favorite thus far is "The Man Who Stole the World." If you have any opinions or suggestions in this regard, please let me know. 

That’s really it at the moment, as I have to get back to writing. Thank you once again for your support!

Love to all,

-Michael

Hello, everyone! 

Hope you all are doing well. It has been over a year now since I first came to this site hoping to finally make something off of a lifetime dream. It has been a rocky road and is taking longer than the goal I had set for myself but, what good thing comes easy? There have been times that I wonder if I’m not crazy for trying to do this and imagining this will work. Setbacks, especially recently, from getting laid off for a few months and scrambling for a new one to my anxiety catching me when I’m stuck on a particular part and has had me struggling to push forward. Yet, this world of mine continues to grow. I think about the characters and the world constantly and keep building on this story and (sometimes scrambling for a post-it note or my journal to quickly write something down) making it into something.

I’m inspired by many of you as I see your own stories and struggles and yet you continued to push and back and fight and now some of you are reaping that reward as your dream has come true and you getting published!

So as I sit down to write today I want to say thank you :)

Greetings, Faoii!

Our warriors have started sending in reports that they’ve received their books! After six long years, The Last Faoii is real, and I almost can’t contain my joy at its existence. As always, I have you to thank for this.  Thank you so much for your continued support. I can’t believe we made this possible.

Don’t forget-- the absolute BEST thing you can do for The Last Faoii now is to leave reviews on Amazon and Good Reads. Good reviews are the best way to make sure that word about our army spreads, and not-as-good reviews are the best way for me to learn to be a better writer in the future. Everyone has an opinion. I truly want to hear yours.

I couldn’t have gotten this far without you, Faoii, but I know that I still have a long journey ahead of me. Please be a part of it. There are still more battles on the horizon.

Shields up. I can’t believe we did it!

Faoii-Tahani

Dear Readers,

Ready, set, GO! I have the green light to proceed with rewriting the manuscript. It’s taken a few storyboard drafts, wrong turns, and vision corrections, but we finally have a version of the story that both Inkshares and I are excited about. I think you’ll all love it, too. I was travelling for business the past week and a half, but now that I’m back at home, I can’t wait to get started.

Of course, there’s still much to do. I don’t have an estimate on how long it will take to rewrite the manuscript, as I intend to do much of it from scratch using all the great new story telling skills I’ve acquired, but I’ll have my older manuscript copies open for direct reference. There are about 300 pages and 80,000 words to compose, but I plan to keep at it daily and I hope to do 2000 words per day (40 days and 40 nights…hmm). Once I’m done, I will submit it back to Inkshares for the development edit, and there will be at least one round of edits at that point, maybe more. Then it goes to the copy editor. Then…actually I don’t know what the next steps are after that, but I’ll keep you posted!

Cheers, Debbie
