Don’t Buy My Books For A While

Crazy title, eh? Well it’s true.

I don’t want anyone to download my books for a while, mainly “Black Water.” For the “why” on this topic, I’ll keep it short. Below I’ve compiled a list of reasons why I don’t want you to download, or buy my books.

Let’s get this self-massacre over with…

Don’t Buy My Books 1: It needs to be edited.

I know, right? My books have plenty of mistakes in it. Who’d think a good storyteller has no idea where to place a comma?

Hey, I never said I was an English major, only that I can tell great stories. So, I’ve done my job. Now, I need to find a good editor who is an expert at not irritating my readers with run-on sentences and too many sentence fragments (case in point, this sentence right now…but this one was intentional).

And, “loose” or “lose?” Or, how about “were” versus “was?” See…I need professional help. Moving right along.

Don’t Buy My Books 2: My stories are too short.

Yes, I heard everyone.

Great series, way too short…I heard you. I’ve worked to expand the book so that I tell the full story in one novel. Originally, “Black Water” was only 20k words. Then, I broke it up into 3 parts, added some fat to it, and made 3 stories of 20k words in length a piece.

Then, people called the Fiction Police on me, reported  me as a loser with no real purpose, and forced me to recompile them together into a 68k page novel, but now I’ve decided to add another 15k -20k of content to “Black Water.” Once complete, it will be about an 80k – 90k word novel (about 400 – 420 pages, 6×9…yeah).

Will it still be a series? Absolutely!

You guys love it so much, I have no choice but to keep writing it! Some of you hate it, and the profile pictures I chose to upload, and wished the bones in my right hand would shatter, so that I couldn’t write again.

News flash, if I break my hand…there’s still voice recognition software!

So, a lot of people didn’t like my work but, you know, not everyone can be as cool as the people who do! I’m joking….or am I…..hmmmmm. A sense of humor is a prerequisite for reading one of my posts.

Don’t Buy My Books 3: I really didn’t have a third reason.

So why did I add a third one? I don’t know, man! I only had two reasons but it seemed odd to not have a third, so here were are.

And, now, here we go. See you later when I make the next update.

P.S. I have no idea when all of this will be finished, but I promise to give you a timeline in the next update.
