Progress on Action Figures – Issue Five: Team-Ups is proceeding apace, with three of my five test readers having reported in with their feedback. I’m hoping the last two will get back to me before my wife and I leave for our anniversary getaway to Quebec so I can button up the next draft and ship it out to my editor. We’ll see!

In the meantime, I want to let everyone know that the Indie Superhero StoryBundle will be available for nine more days — which is also how many days I have left to give out three codes for all eight e-books for free! This offer is available only to people who have not yet read my book, so if you fit that description — or you’re a fan who knows someone who would like to check my book out — use the Contact Mike form to drop me a line.

Speaking of those of you who have already read my books, I have something for you too.

My cover artists Tricia is working on a new project for me: official Action Figures bookmarks, which I’ll give away at signings. These will replace my old postcard-style promo materials with something people might find more attractive and useful. Take a peek at the rough she sent me last week…

Would you like me to send you a free bookmark when they’re ready? Here’s what you’ll need to do: contact me and give me your mailing address, and — and this is key! — a link to a review of any of my books that you’ve posted to Amazon or Goodreads (or both!).

Haven’t posted a review yet? Well, now’s a great time to rectify that situation, and if you need some help crafting a review, go read this post that shows you just how easy it is.
