Well now! Good-day friends and readers of my writing and our authors.
I would like to take this opportunity as the writer, Kenneth Shumaker, I and report that I finished the revised first draft of book two of my science fiction books, from the series ‘Star Grean,’ this week and that I’ve written the first 12 k words for book three this month, which I think was a win.
We here at InUPress launched the medieval fantasy novel, ‘Larret Army: Rising Souls,’ publishing it on Amazon, Kobo, InUPress and so many more vendors on Friday, May 25th.
We’re still finalizing details of the book with some of the vendor’s editions, but the novel’s out there with most of our regular vendors in ebook or paperback.
Also, an audio edition is being created using Kobo’s, Findaway Voice. The audiobook should be available this year?
At InUPress we are now working on Eric’s new short story. This story is a paranormal drama titled, ‘The Transcendence Machine,’ and is for release this year.
As the author, Kenneth Shumaker, I am also working on my next medieval fantasy novel in the ‘Lost Souls,’ series titled ‘Dendar.’ This book is set for release this or next year, it is currently in 2nd revision after being read by beta readers. The beta readers found two big flaws in the story, one was that it ended too abruptly.
My Virily account has now earned me my first royalty cheque from them last month and as well I reached over 300 readers with gaining 304 followers. My favourite new reader is Paul who read every one of my sci-fi/fantasy episodes, ‘Eren’s Challenge’ in one weekend (reading all 26 episodes), then every medieval fantasy episode, ‘Morgus,’ the next weekend, (reading all 16 episodes).
In all, Paul read over 100 of my posts and I think he wrote me a comment on every one of them and voted more than half of them up! His comments included: ‘Yes I like them both but Morgus has become my unrivaled favorite.’, and ‘I love the balance of suspense and comic relief here.’. Paul’s a prolific writer himself with 236 posts. He’s at PaulPallazola
I have other readers who did similar reading but they weren’t so vocal, though most were more appreciative by voting up more of the posts. Such as tasartcraft, Branka, Albert, TrennaSue, TrafalgarLaw, and milnazoran.

Thanks for the kind words Kenneth, although I think I only commented on half your episodes.
I was so overwhelmed by your kind words I may have felt your comments were on nearly every episode! LOL
Good for you Kenneth. Have a great day!
Thank you Carol, I value your feedback too!
