I'm genuinely baffled. There is a weird copy error in my third book... literally! I fixed this before ordering, but more to the point, when that error was in place it was in the entire book (formatting error from duplicating hardcover files to create paperback.) So how EXACTLY was the correct file used in the last half of Blood Vengeance and the wrong file to the first half??? Someone, help me! The buck stops with me, I just need to know how this can even occur! LOL 🤨🤔

🚨 Final Countdown: 13 Days Until Blood Vengeance Releases! 🩸 (Let's stick it to AI!)

Can you believe we only have 13 days left before the backer ends? I know I keep saying it, but THANK YOU to every single person who has backed The Blood Herring Chronicles on BackerKit! We've all seen the glory of AI in publishing and literature🙄. Through your incredible support, we rose against the machines, backing a book written, edited, and produced by real people! (Can you even imagine if a computer had written this?) If you haven't backed it yet, we have 13 days to reach our final stretch goal!

We did it! Thanks to all of your incredible support, we reached our initial funding goal in less than two days! Your enthusiasm for The Blood Herring Trilogy is what makes this project possible, and I am so grateful for each and every one of you.

But the journey doesn't stop here. We're now setting our sights on our two stretch goals:

At $2,500: Every single backer will receive an audiobook version of The Vampire's Cold Case, read by the professional voice actor, Dallin Bradford!
(More details, including the cover and backer exclusive content, below)

What is your least favorite remake/reboot?
You need to have actually watched it, folks. Everyone can't just rag on Snow White. For me, it's Disney's second A Wrinkle in Time. I don't care about the politics; the changes to the characters rile me something fierce.

I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it:
Hollywood, if you're going to make fanfiction, at least have the grace of E.L. James to edit the character names into something new. Don't pretend to be faithful and take our money; that's just robbery.

Oh, and book 3 is up for pre-order on Backer Kit.
