What Overlords Fans Have Been Craving!

To all the Overlords fans out there, Mike is giving you what you have wanted!  In an effort to whet your Overlords appetite in anticipation of the upcoming release of his third book in the fantasy series, Mike will be blogging short stories of the supporting characters on a bi-weekly basis.  One of Mike’s favorite characters is Xavier Murdock, the rogue ranger and expert marksman of the group.  He definitely had a checkered past, to say the least!  Look for new blog entry in your inbox or social network of choice.

Upcoming Events

Overlord Enterprises continues to be active in the community.  In July (Mondays starting 7/11), Mike will be at the Tiverton Public Library where he will conduct two five-week workshops for kids ages 9-17.  The workshops are comprised of five one-hour sessions where the kids will learn the finer points of character development, creating settings, plot points, and editing techniques.  With a little luck, the next great novelist will emerge from these sessions!

Also in July (7/19), Mike will be presenting “The Concepts of Writing and Publishing” at the East Bridgewater (MA) Public Library.  This two-hour session will cover everything from writing your novel, understanding agents, publishers, and self-publishing, to marketing and self-promotion.  This event is appropriate for want-to-be writers and experienced novelist alike.  There is also a book signing following the event for those who would like to purchase a copy of one of Mike’s Overlords books.

Hope to see you at one of these events!

A New "Blog" Beginning!

It's been a long time since I've been here, but the time has come to restart my blogging. Now that I have a newly revamped website, www.the-overlords.com, and social networking capabilities, I'll be blogging a bit more often. Consider this a new beginning where I'll be discussing a variety of topics, from The Overlords and writing, to self-publishing, self-promotion, and everything else in between! I'm looking forward to reconnecting in this forum, starting today!
