Brian and Michelle Guthrie liked an update for The Madness of Mr. Butler

It has been quite some time since a little update on here...but, there’s children (plural) at my home now, and they both expect me to take care of them. Good thing they’re absolutely adorable...


I love being a dad. Life is good. All is well.

Here are the updates: 

The Madness of Mr. Butler: I told the Inkshares team that I will be turning in the manuscript in late August/early September. Then, we can get started with all of the editing/design, etc. Sadly, this means your books will not get to you until early next year. BUT! It’s going to be a great read. I’ve changed a ton for the better, and once my new chapters get out to my beta readers and they stab them repeatedly and I suture them back up anew, I will start posting new chapters. I will update more often. 

It was not an easy decision to rewrite so much, but I’m interested in getting you all my best work, not my quickest. Thank you for your patience. 

An Adventure With Dada: It’s reached 81 preorders! I couldn’t be happier! And I’m very proud of this novel. It still needs edited and polished, but the story is all written and complete. 

...And I plan on doing what no other book has done on here (that I’ve noticed). Once I reach 100 preorders I WILL PUT THE ENTIRE FIRST DRAFT UP. If you like comedic novels, I think you’ll like this one. It’s weird, it’s dark, but it’s also oddly heartwarming (?) in places. I’m confident enough to put the entire thing up to read. But only after 100 is reached. And then I will take it down a week later, unless 125 preorders are reached, then back up for a week...and so on. 

Plus, I made a friend in Argentina who is collaborating with me on a video for the book to put up on the page. I’ll let you know when that happens.

That’s all for now, as it’s too much! 

I wish everyone the best, and I look forward to seeing what happens in this new contest!

All my love, 

-Michael/Dada

    Brian and Michelle Guthrie liked an update for Mission 51

    Wow!! Mission 51 just keeps getting better and better!!

    I am thrilled to announce another artistic collaboration!

    Chris Pyke is a fabulous artist from the UK, who has agreed to render his superb line art for Mission 51. His study of the written material is meticulous. His choice of moment, framing, angle of presentation, and especially the integrity with the story, are simply amazing!

    The first piece from Chris is a moment from the chapter called The Crash. Here is the image and an excerpt:


    From The Crash:

    Finally they reached the top of a ridge, very close to their destination. Through the binoculars they could see a depression at the top of the next ridge, where the last of the dust continued to fall. There were large rocks to the west of the depression, obviously part of the shattered mountain top. But whatever caused it did not stop there. From their vantage point, they could see down into the lower lands of the valley further to the west. Juan pointed out to Juanito a long, dark streak in the land, heading northwest, in the direction of whatever it was they saw flash by overhead. In the far distance, they could see a rising tower of black, billowing smoke. They looked at each other, worried and wildly curious at the same time. Juanito pointed, “Vámos, Papi. Yá!”

    Awesome!!

    Thank you, Chris Pyke, and welcome to the Mission 51 creative team!

    You can find Chris at his DeviantArt site, and at his PykesWorld weebly site.

      Brian and Michelle Guthrie liked the forum thread, Very Exciting week!
      A lot of people haven’t seen my updates for some reason so I thought i’d make a post about it. This week was super exciting! I got to meet the Inkshares team this week! Being bold I literally just showed up at their office was really taken with how nice and supportive everyone was.






      It was really exciting being able to seethe legendary wall of published books. It wont be too long before mine is up there!




      I even got to hold @Richard Heinz Book before he did. :P That was a trip!




      @Elena Stofle Was sweet enough to toss me a copy of @Landon Crutcher ’s book. Super cool.




      It was a real honor meeting the entire team and finding out they were ordinary San Francisco Bay Area Startup guys and really down to Earth.  If you’re ever in the Oakland Area I suggest doing the same. They can use the distraction ;)

        Don’t forget! Tune in between 4 and 6 PM Eastern US time to WRUW-FM for a special exclusive radio interview about Tantalus Depths! You’ll get to hear an interview with me, an exclusive reading of a thusfar unreleased excerpt from the book, and maybe a bit of wacky improv. You can listen to it online from anywhere in the world here at www.wruw.org.
