Not Dead Yet Newsletter #6

Hey there,

Remember how I said I was going to send out an extra email newsletter this week for the launch of "Everyone Dies"? Well, this is that newsletter!

About Everyone Dies

Years ago, I co-wrote a book in which the protagonist died at the end. I liked the protagonist, as did my co-author and the readers. So, at the beginning of the sequel, we brought the character back to life.

While it was fun to write that resurrection, it meant his sacrifice was diminished. He had paid the ultimate price, but then got a refund.

Since then, I kept thinking about writing a new book (or series) where protagonists die with regularity. Sacrifice would have meaning. Characters would struggle with the death of those around them. I would promise that death is permanent.

The result is this story.

The release of this book is bittersweet. I admit that I don't want to let some of the characters go. And that's what makes this story so interesting for me, that I'll miss them in kind of the same way I miss friends and family who have passed away.

Please write a review!

Here's where I ask for reviews. Even the negative ones.

Positive reviews inspire me to write more. I run to the keyboard, and the words and story rush out. They energize me, and I love each and every one I get.

Negative reviews fuel the negative emotions that are useful for portraying the darkness in the stories I write. Also, they help me identify what I can improve.

Even neutral reviews are good. I feel neutral about them, but having them is better than no review!

Finally, if you feel like just putting in a star rating on Amazon (or Goodreads), with an absolute minimal review, that works too. No matter how many stars you choose, you help me by rating it.
