I’m scheduling this to follow James T. Lambert’s, because I figure all the words that Michel doesn’t use balances out the bonus words that Lambert did use. (not that I’m complaining about either…I just enjoy the contrast–they hit my in-box in succession, too)

I had so much fun with this last year (and grew my TBR–plus a few others’), that I’m bringing it back. In the spirit of “a rising tide lifts all boats,” for Self-Published Authors Appreciation Week I wanted to give some Self-Published authors a chance to spread some love.
(They also get to do a bit of self-promotion, I mean, c’mon, it’s hard out here…)

An Elevator Pitch for Something You Love

Whispers of the Storm by Z.B. Steele
Name of the Wind, if the plot moved at a reasonable pace.
My Elevator Pitch by Michael Michel

Dreams of Dust and Steel, a five-book, gritty, epic fantasy series that blends the depth of character and political intrigue of A Game of Thrones with the psychosocial “magic system” of X-Men.
About this Author
Michael Michel lives in Bend, Oregon with the love of his life and their two children. When he isn’t obsessively writing, editing, or doing publishing work, he can be found exercising, coaching leaders in the corporate world, and dancing his butt off at amazing festivals like Burning Man. His favorite shows are Dark, The Wire, Arcane, and Norsemen. He loves nature and deep conversations. Few things bring him more joy than a couple of hours playing table tennis.
