“On Borrowed Time” officially released

June 28, 2017 By E.G. Michaels

Greetings,

I’m pleased to announce a new Kyle Simmons book, “On Borrowed Time” has been officially released.

Here’s where you’ll find “On Borrowed Time” on Amazon:

“On Borrowed Time”- Amazon USA

“On Borrowed Time” – Amazon UK

Since this is the first Simmons book in over a year, I want to reward my loyal readers by temporarily lowering the price to $2.99. In addition, I’ve put the previous book in the series (“Every Minute Counts”) and the first two books in the series (“Before The Clock Strikes” and “The Countdown”) on an Amazon Countdown Deal.  

For less than a buck (or free with your Kindle Unlimited membership) you can get started with this series – perfect for your summertime reading pleasure.

But don’t delay because this book won’t stay at this new release price for long and neither will the Countdown deal.

In case you missed the blurb for “On Borrowed Time”, here it is:

A cool night in March. A young couple are murdered in their home while their neighborhood peacefully sleeps. It seems like the perfect crime with nothing but a single word “Tag” written in blood on the wall near one of their bodies.

Philadelphia Homicide Detective Kyle Simmons is tasked with finding their killers but with almost no evidence to work with, he quickly finds himself grasping for clues which might point him towards finding out who the killer might be.

A few days later, another couple is killed. Same perfect crime scene except this time a new phrase, “Tag, You’re It”, has been left on the wall in blood.

As Simmons follows the evidence, he makes to a startling discovery. He’s discovered a deadly game of one-upmanship between two stone cold killers and Philly is just their latest murderous playground.

As the body count start to climb and the stakes get bigger, Simmons is on a mission to stop these killers at any cost. The killers might think they’re going to get away with murder but the truth is they’re only on borrowed time.

Until next time,

“On Borrowed Time” Release Date Announced And More News

June 17, 2017 By E.G. Michaels

Greetings,

As I mentioned last month, this is a revised newsletter. You should receive it (or read it here on my site) each month with periodic emails in between when I have something important to announce.

Without further ado, let’s get into this month’s news…

“On Borrowed Time” Release Date Announced

The next Kyle Simmons book, “On Borrowed Time” is now available on Amazon for pre-order. It will be officially published on June 27th.

I’m offering special pre-launch pricing. Order now and save $1.00 off the regular price for this.

You can order your copy by going here:

“On Borrowed Time” – Amazon USA

“On Borrowed Time” – Amazon UK

“On Borrowed Time” has been in the works for awhile now. For starters, my last author revision took several parts of the plot and expanded them to be more complete and added another plot twist.

The revision wound up adding nearly 16,000 words — good for readers, not so good for me.

While the additional words make this a stronger story, it also means my previously planned deadlines to get the book to my editors and beta readers went out of the proverbial window.

And of couse, that meant the publication date had to be delayed as well.

So long story short, this book is now with beta readers to catch anything plot-related my editors or I might have missed (i.e. how did Simmons get into his car if he didn’t open the car door first.)

My editors and I typically catch 99% of those buggers but every book there’s something that somehow sneaks past us and gets nabbed by my beta readers.

From there, it will go to my Street Team. (If you’re part of my Street Team, you’ll receive a separate update email.)

Needless to say, everyone who helps me get each book ready for publication has been working very hard to get the book ready for publication before month’s end.

I’m proud to say that we’ve accomplished exactly that and on June 27th, “On Borrowed Time” will go live.

Book Recommendations

If you’re looking for something new to read while you’re waiting for “On Borrowed Time” to be released, I might be able to help.

I have two books I’d like to recommend this month.

My first book recommendation is “Hell’s Children” by John L. Monk.

https://www.amazon.com/Hells-Children-Post-Apocalyptic-Survival-Thriller-ebook/dp/B01GDH7ZOC/

A number of reviewers describe it as a modern day “Lord of the Flies” novel and I agree.

While it’s categorized as a Post-Apocalyptic Survival Thriller, you won’t find any undead creatures in this story.

It’s a wonderful story of young adults banding together in the hopes of surviving and rebuilding society.

 

My second book recommendation is “November’s Past” by A.E. Howe.

https://www.amazon.com/Novembers-Past-Larry-Macklin-Mysteries-ebook/dp/B01FC92AKG/

I started this one a few weeks ago but had to put it down in order to really focus on getting “On Borrowed Time” finished.

It may sound silly, but I try to avoid reading anything similar to what I’m currently writing.

Why?

It’s simple really.

I don’t want to inadvertently borrow storyline ideas from another author’s work.

Of course, once my book releases on the 27th, I plan on continuing to enjoy reading the rest of this book because it’s been great.

So What’s E.G. Writing Next?

I’m starting work on a new post-apocalyptic book series which will be 2-3 books in length. The first two books are outlined and I’m currently writing the first book. More details to come in next month’s newsletter.

From there, I’m planning to start work on the second Cole Hutchinson thriller novel.

Until next time,

E.G.

P.S. As I’ve mentioned more than once, most of you have told me you’d prefer I spend my time writing novels than emails. I’m perfectly fine with that but I want to give you a heads-up that you’ll get another email from me in about 2 weeks, reminding everyone when Amazon has officially released “On Borrowed Time”.
