Chapter 2 of Tear on Dotted Lines (rough draft) is posted. In this chapter as Dorothy is struggling to accept her own death, she discovers a clue that could help the detective get the information she needs to find her killer. Unfortunately, getting the clue to the detective will prove to be difficult without giving herself away.

I hope you all like it and I would love to read any comments or suggestions you have, especially about sentence fluidity, flow, or character and plot development. Never written anything of this style or genre before so advice is always accepted!

Thanks to everyone who follows and to those who've recommended my rough draft. I especially love reading the other book recommendations and pitches you have for me! I'm a big horror and mystery fan so keep them coming. And don't forget to stay updated by following me and my novel Tear on Dotted Lines!

Okay! It's Saturday! Update time! We made it!!! THANK YOU!



"Well Rick, now that you've won the contest... what are you going to do now?"

Going to Disney World! (Seriously, going for Halloween. A much needed vacation). 

Many of you made this possible, and I have a lot of work to do in order to get you the best possible book. Thank you very much. I'm really excited for what comes next. Websites, faction stickers: Society of Deus, Unification, or Sons and Daughters? Banners to be made. Books to be finished. Tacos to be had. 

mmmmm... tacos. 

So, it's not over by any measure for me. I still have to keep working on getting this book out there. Just not in the fashion of a rabid squirrel. Everyone should take a moment to log into their Inkshare account and poke around. You can update notifications in the upper right as well to toggle how frequently updates come along. 

You can follow me on Twitter if you haven't @CrankyBolt. (Or here)

I'll keep my updates sparse to preserve the sanctity of your inbox, but I will let you know on events and happenings regarding the book. 

But for now: I begin the editing!
