I'm Not Dead (barely)!

THE FOLLOWING IS YESTERDAY'S NEWSLETTER FROM THE JAY FORD NEWSLETTER:

Hello all!

It's been a long time, eh? You probably thought I was dead! I thought I might be too. Here's a quick run down on what I've been up to:
  • Spent quite a bit of time in the hospital
  • Got very behind in college due to time in hospital
  • Spent a long time getting caught up
And that's about it! Told you it was a quick run down.

So! You probably don't really care about that, and I don't care to get into it too much. You probably just wanna know where the damn book is, don't you?

Well, I haven't done much writing lately because I've been too busy not dying, and then not dying academically. So the book had about 5-10,000 words left in the first draft, and in the past couple days I've gotten extremely close to the end. So it should be out by the end of October HOPEFULLY.

Why hopefully?

Well in case you haven't noticed, The Invaders and The Enemy are currently not available to buy anywhere online. To be honest, when I first uploaded them, I never expected them to get so popular! So, while it had been proofread before (can you believe it?! I got my money back, that's for sure), there were still a lot of errors. So many that the reviews suffered heavily.

However, with hospital bills and college, I'm unable to afford to get them proofread. Now, I'm not about to go into some speech about some Kickstarter or IndieGoGo I'm running to raise funds for the editing. I'm going to pay for that myself! It's just expensive to have three books proofread, so it may be a while before I can afford it.

So, that's where I'm at right now. I will not be publishing any more books until I can afford to have them proofread. Sorry, but you deserve better than what I gave you, and it won't happen again! I hope for your patience and your understanding.

And for it, once The Arrival is published, I will be offering it for free to all of my newsletter subscribers.

And since you've read this far, here's Prison State for free. While there's still some errors, it's much cleaner than The Invaders or The Enemy. Just click HERE

Thanks for reading! Until next time,
Jay Ford
