One week until launch!
          
          The Hunt for Power goes live on Amazon on the 20th and comes down from Wattpad the same day, so fair warning for anyone reading here.
          
          Cheers,
          Joe 

So a bit of an update . . .
          
          The publication date for The Hunt for Power has moved up to September 20th!
          
          Very excited for the paperback and ebook version of the novel to hit the world, but that does mean the Wattpad version will be coming down.  The story will be available here until that date. After that, only a sample will be available. 
          
          Cheers!

Exciting news!
          
          The Hunt for Power will be published in ebook and paperback versions this October!  Go check out the new cover!
          
          I'm very excited to share this updated version with my readers. It's taken a ton of work to get it from a clunk first draft posted here, to a Watty winning story, to a published novel.  But it's all been worth it.
          
          Unfortunately, this means that the full version will be coming down from Wattpad at the end of September. If you're reading it now, you have until September 30th to finish and then just a sample will be available. 
          
          Thank you all for being on this adventure with me.

Hey there friends and neighbors, 
          
          It's been a minute since I posted anything here, but I promise you that I'm still writing. My third book, The Quest for Immortality, is about half done and will be out sometime next year.
          
          In the meantime, I'd like to invite you over to my new website (www.joeettle.com) and to sign up for my newsletter to stay in the loop on all my writing adventures. As a thank you for signing up, you'll receive an exclusive short story that tells how two of characters met for the first time.
          
          I hope to see you there.
          
          Happy reading, 
          Joe

Release Day!
          
          So happy to announce that The Crusade for Vengeance is now available for purchase. I am holding my physical copy in my hands and it feels amazing. 
          
           https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09M57DWV7/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_navT_g_Y0JYQ1FHVH7MZWEN495X
          
          
          This means that I will be taking down the version here except for the first three chapters. However you want to read it for free, I am still looking for ARC readers and I will send you the pdf to read in exchange for an honest review.  DM me if you are interested. 

Cover reveal!
          
          Head on over to my Instagram to see the new cover for the upcoming published version of The Crusade for Vengeance. 
          
          I'll change the one here as well once the book has been released. 
          
          Go check it out and let me know what you think!

Well, the next step has happened.  After some back and forth, I signed the contract today.
          
          Still nervous/excited/scared/wary of what comes next, but it looks like my first book will be published next year sometime. 
          
          I've started an Instagram account where I'll be chronicling the journey and sharing what I'm reading at the moment.

BIG NEWS!!!
          
          I was recently offered my first publishing contract! It's still early going, but I am super excited.   The idea of seeing my books in actual print is quite surreal.
          
          Anyway, stay tuned here or on my blog to follow my publishing journey.  I'll be sure to post frequent updates. 

Hey party people, 
          
          So I've decided to start a blog to chronicle my writing journey, leave book reviews, and hopefully track my publishing efforts (fingers crossed).
          
          Check it out and let me know what you think.

You know that feeling when you're stuck? When you sort of know what's going to happen next in your story, but you don't know how to get there?
          
          And then you find that one phrase or that one sentence, and everything opens up before you.  And before you know it, you're past where you were stuck and there's a feeling of relief and anticipation for what's to come.
          
          That's a good feeling.
