Dear Sentients,
The rollercoaster rides on.
We are a little over a week from the official launch date for The Life Engineered. Already, many of you are receiving your copies and a few of you have already devoured the book. I’m seeing so many photos of my book in your hands and receiving so many positive comments that I’m at a loss for words. Which is a terrible predicament for an author.
As we get every closer to the launch date for The Life Engineered there are a few points I want to address with you, my friends:
- If you’ve received and read your copy of The Life Engineered and you enjoyed it (I know you did), take a trip down to Amazon and leave a review. If you’re on Goodreads, leave a review there too. Reviews are crucial to rankings and rankings are important to sales and sales are what allow me to publish a sequel.
- I’m still working on preparing a launch party. If you’re local to Montreal, stay tuned. The moment I have a venue confirmed, I will be making an announcement. I’d love to see as many of you there as possible. I have a mailing list! Because not every one of my readers are on Inkshares, I’ve started an independent mailing list. You can sign up here. If you’d rather just receive these updates however, don’t worry, all information about The Life Engineered and it’s sequels will be posted on Inkshares too.
- I’m going on a trip! I’m not bragging, I’m just pointing it out because I might be difficult to reach for the next week. I’ll try to receive my emails and respond as best as I can but I’ll be on a boat, so internet access will be difficult.
These are exciting times my friends and none of it would be possible without you.
As always: Thank you so much for your support. I hope you’ll stay with me for the duration of this ride. There’s some cool stuff on the way.

Nothing posted on Inkshares as a draft or as a currently funding book needs to be perfect. It would be pretty weird if excerpts were perfect, considering we all know they haven’t been professionally edited yet. You’re going to find a lot, A LOT of typos. You could message every author about every one you come across, but once our books are successfully funded, we will be getting professional editing from Inkshares.
I’m sure not everyone will agree, and that’s okay. I just think campaigning is stressful enough already.
(I guess if I knew the person first, I wouldn’t mind getting a message about a typo. If I had already formed some sort of positive, friendly relationship with them. Make friends first, point out errors later!)
