Do you have what it takes to be one of my thirteen? October thirteenth is coming up fast. That date marks the day I’ll contact applicants who applied to become one of my thirteen. I blogged about that on my own website, but wanted to extend the invitation to FlamesRising.com readers, too. Many of you have been following my career from the very beginning — after all, it was here where I first posted game fiction for Obsidian: the Age of Judgement. It was also here where we published The Devil’s Night for White Wolf fans and here where I was able to announce projects like Strange, Dead Love, Scenes of the Embrace, Worlds of the Dead, and so many more.

This group I’m putting together is unusual in the sense that I’m providing readers with the ability to get to know me in a more intimate fashion than folks normally would be able to online. I’m also going to talk about the deep, down, and dirty parts of the submission process for my original work and throw a few stories to them.

Questions? I’m sure you do. For that, let me quote the original post I had on my blog here:

When I released The Queen of Crows, many readers said I was fearless. Now, I am opening up my author’s door for you to do the same. I am asking thirteen brave souls to be hands-on participants in my journey as an author.

What does this mean? Are You Brave Enough To Be One Of My Thirteen? on mlvwrites.com.

I then went on to list a few planned perks here:

In exchange for your support, comments, and feedback, you will be rewarded in the following ways:

• You’ll be notified first of any upcoming publications, whether you’ve read that particular story or not.
• You’ll receive an annual Thank You present that’ll include some of my stories and other niceties.
• You’ll be acknowledged, whenever possible, for your feedback. That means if you comment on one of my novels or novellas, you’ll get publicly thanked in the book.

After I received some entries, I fielded quite a few questions in The 13, A FAQ list which clarified some reader questions. If you have some, start there or post a comment and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can!
