Mike X Welch liked an update for The Devil You Don’t

September 21, 2017

Hello!

Wanted to give everyone a quick update on "The Devil You Don’t." First is the not-so-good news. They announced the Top 10 list this afternoon, and unfortunately, Devil is not on it. I have to confess, I’m disappointed but I can’t stay stuck on that.

The better news is that--although I won’t win Launchpad’s Grand Prize--I am still in the running here at Inkshares. When last I checked, I was running in 5th place with about 2.5 weeks left in the competition. 

And that means that every single pre-order I can muster up is going to count if I’m going to make it into one of the Top 3 spots. So a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has put in an order so far.

For those of you who are still thinking, your order can make a difference so I would love to see you on the "official reader" list.

Chapter 3 is available now!

As promised, we passed the 30 pre-order mark last night and I posted the next chapter. Please go to my Inkshares page and take a look (you’ll find it under the Read tab): https://www.inkshares.com/books/the-devil-you-don-t 

Next milestone is 50 orders and at that point I’ll raffle off a signed copy of "Darkstar Rising" and an Amazon gift card!

Thanks again for your support and enthusiasm -- I’ll update again soon!

Best,
Susan

    Mike X Welch liked an update for The Walls are Closing In

    Happy Halloween!


    Another month has come and gone, and it’s time for another reader update. The Walls are Closing In is still voyaging through the production process. The entire first round of rewrites is wrapped up and has been submitted to my editor.

    Portions of my precious story were difficult to part with, and some rewrites flowed easier than others. But, out of the ashes of my murdered darling came a stronger, more piercing novel that I am incredibly happy with and eager to share with all of you.

    Matt has already marked up Act 1 (of 3) for round 2 of the developmental edit, and I have completed those changes as well. I am now waiting for him to return Acts 2 and 3 with notes. It will likely be about two weeks before he gets those back to me. So, in the meantime, I am going to dive into National Novel Writing Month.


    Every November, authors around the globe strive to write 50,000 words of the first draft of a novel within the month of November, and I have jumped on board.

    Someone stop me, please.

    The rewrites of The Walls are Closing In will take priority whenever it is in my hands, but when the manuscript is with Matt, I am going to strive to meet the quota (1,667 words per day).

    During this time, I’ll likely resemble the undead roaming the streets this all hallows’ eve, and will accept all offers of free caffeine and chocolate.

    Until next time,

    Jacqui

      Congrats to Dean and Michael for taking first and second place in the contest!

      I am utterly speechless at the moment and will update everyone soon!  Thank you, everyone, who helped take Tainted all the way to third place!
