Billy O’Keefe liked an update for The Madness of Mr. Butler

It’s been a relatively long time since the last time I updated everyone (like maybe a couple of days...haha), but so much has happened! 

First, I was interviewed by Renderosity Magazine about my views on writing. I cover some personal perspectives, the process of composing a novel, and some little advice I’ve gathered over the years. It’s a fairly extensive interview, and I promote Inkshares a little bit, too. You can read the interview by clicking here.

I was honored to be part of the last blog interview for the Space Opera contest as well. This time, I had to cast Mr. Butler for the movie version. What a difficult question...I did my best, and you can read it here.

Also, I’m working hard to get more material written and posted. I will do so as I feel it’s ready, and it’s all open to be talked about and critiqued. Please don’t hesitate to let me know what you think. 

While we’re on the subject, I’d like to help other authors on here with support and critiquing. I put up the offer on the new Goodwill Train 2.0 thread on Goodreads. Basically, let’s reach out more directly to one another. Email me at madmrbutler@gmail.com and let me know what I can do for you, especially if you just want me to know more about your novel! Let’s network and help each other get published! There’s no reason everyone can’t reach their goals. Just let me know what I can do. 

Finally, I wish everyone the best. This contest experience has been emotional and exhausting, and it’s coming down to the final days. If you haven’t pre-ordered your copy of The Madness of Mr. Butler, please consider doing so by clicking here. 

I look forward to hearing from everyone, and please push your book in my direction...I have credits I’d like to use!

All of my love,

-Michael

    Billy O’Keefe liked an update for Sync City

    Greetings Jackolytes,

    Fantastic news! I recently received an email telling me the weight of the Inkshares CEO Syndicate was being thrown behind Sync City - to this syndicate, a heartfelt thank you! Personally, the CEO Syndicate support is tremendously gratifying, but the real part of me knows this would not have been possible without the initial support of more than 100+ readers. You people put the crowd into crowdfunding and your support has been invaluable - a heartfelt thank you to you all as well. There have also been a number of people who have jumped on the back of the Jack Trevayne ride and pushed me along.

    To Joe Asphahani, author of world building The Animal in Man www.inkshares.com/books/the-animal-in-man-7699 thanks for kicking me in the ass, getting me moving and offering me encouragement.

    To Billy O’Keefe, author of the hilarious These Are My friends on Politics www.inkshares.com/books/these-are-my-friends-on-politics-0985?referral code=fd744cal   thanks for showing me the crowdfunding ropes and putting up with my emails.

    To Mike Donald, author of the Jack the Ripper-based Louisiana Blood www.inkshares.com/books/louisiana-blood-a-chandler-travis-and-duke-lanoix-mystery?referral code+2c27906f thanks for the positive emails and recommendations.

    To Mike Haase, author of the exciting space opera The Madness of Mr. Butler www.inkshares.com/books/the-madness-of-mr-butler?referralcode code=26dce7a3 and William Schiele, author of the thrilling Tears of the Assassin www.inkshares.com/books/tears-of-the-assassin?referral code=f7d54200 thank you for your ongoing support.

    If you are looking for a good read, then follow the above links, these authors know how to write!

    Finally, the job is far from done. Jack is astride his ride and revving, but more pre-orders are needed. If you can bring others on board: friends, family, co-workers, that would be great. Feel free to click on the following link and re-pre-order or, better yet, bring some new folks into the Sync City  fold: www.inkshares.com/books/sync-city?referral  code=9f560b73  And if you are following me, but have yet to pre-order, it would be fantastic if you could do so. If you have any questions regarding Sync City, drop me an email at blooryan@gmail.com

    Thanks again.

    Peter
