Jack Kane is a Print Book!

Posted on March 23, 2016 by Michell

A few years ago, JR Murdock and I wrote a book titled Jack Kane and the Statue of Liberty. We were both delighted with how it turned out and were convinced it would one day see print. Then, a couple years ago it was accepted by Champagne/Burst Books for publication. The model Champagne/Burst Books follows is, e-book first and, if it generates enough interest, then a print book. It was released in e-book formats in June of last year. Sunday, I learned that it was now available as a print book. You can purchase it right now from the Champagne Books store here. It will be available on Amazon in the next few weeks. If you have been waiting for […]

Big News!

Posted on December 19, 2013 by Michell

As you may know, J.R. Murdock and I collaborated a couple years ago on a book. We wrote what we hoped would be the first book in a new YA/Steampunk/Superhero series. Writing as a team was a real learning experience with ups and downs, but we managed to finish the book, currently titled “Jack Kane and the Statue of Liberty”. J.R. wrote the protagonist POV and I wrote the antagonist. The story went through several editorial iterations before we felt it was ready to submit. And submit we did! And today, I am very pleased to announce that we have signed a book deal with Champagne Books. The book should be out in the fall of 2014. And, in case […]

Get Published Episode 123 – VG Ford Discusses Serialized Fiction

Posted on November 24, 2013 by Michell

I love writing, reading and listening to serial stories. Sometimes those stories are individual episodes of a bigger story and sometimes they are chapters of a story. Either way, they are fun for me. Don’t believe me? Check out my own serialized stories of Boyscouts of the Apocalypse and GalaxyBillies. Both are going up on Wattpad in case you are interested. So, when I heard that Val Ford, or VG Ford as she is known by for her writing, was coming out with a new, serialized Advent story, I knew we had to talk. This episode, you will be able to hear us talk about her stories and serializing fiction. I also wanted to let you know that there isn’t […]

Get Published Episode 122 – Gail Carriger Talks Series Writing

Posted on November 10, 2013 by Michell

One of the best things about going to conventions for me is getting the chance to talk to people. For example, 3-years ago at Balticon, I was lucky enough to meet and talk to Gail Carriger. The unfortunate part of that was, I met her on the very last day, at lunch, just prior to leaving for home. I took that opportunity to invite Gail onto Get Published and she graciously agreed to an interview. That was episode 47 which aired December 25th, 2010. Ever since that conversation, I have watched Gail’s career with interest, hoping that our paths would cross again one day. Imagine my delight when I learned that not only will Gail and I both be at […]
