Storyteller (Thriller/Mystery/Suspense) A Novella
Eric Webb is a typical jewelry thief, turned fugitive until he enters a night of horror.
While hiding in the Motor City, Eric receives a package on his doorstep. Inside is a cell phone and his first call comes from his old thieving partner and friend, Post.
But this is no courtesy call.
Post is in trouble and after he makes Eric plea to someone holding him hostage to spare his life, Post meets a brutal and gruesome end.
The killer, who calls himself Storyteller, has plans for Eric, one involving a demonic Easter egg hunt to find pieces of his dead friend hidden in various parts of Detroit. If he fails, Eric’s beloved daughter back home in Georgia will suffer. With no choice, Eric goes around collecting each body part left for him, all the while trying to stay out of sight of the law and gradually learning what this whole nightmare is all about.
And as the night goes on, Eric will discover just how personal this troubling mission is.

Cycles Series
When one battle threatens millions, how will the world survive in the ashes of warfare?
Cycles: A Cut Through Time
(BOOK ONE)
After awakening deep underground, a lost soul with no memory, digs herself out and finds she’s inside a cave. While out in a forest, she comes across a hunter in danger, and after saving him from death, he brings her to his village. The hunter, Jaxith, gives her the name Octavia.
In the faraway kingdom of Qavia, nestled within the Cold Desert lands, Emperor Xaryus and Empress Kala share an ambitious goal that requires an alchemist to produce indestructible soldiers that are not of flesh and blood. Global chaos breaks out following a battle between the sides. Things only become worse afterwards.
When the result of the battle endangers the village, Octavia and Jaxith agree to go on a mission to retrieve vital supplies that are no longer easily available. During their quest, Octavia tries to discover her past and find out who she is.
This story takes place in another world, rich in its history and culture. It’s a tale about the importance of friendship, self-discovery, and being loyal to those closest to the heart.

Ghostwriting Services
As of now, I’m available to accept one client.
Hello! And welcome to my ghostwriting service page!
Do you have an idea for a great story but need help putting it down on paper? Do you have material written and need a hands-on person to polish it?
A lot of people have wonderful stories to tell, but either lacks the time, experience, or desire to write them down. If this is you, then you need a ghostwriter! Ghostwriting has been part of the publishing industry for decades and makes up about 60% of all published work, especially in nonfiction. Many bestsellers have been written by ghostwriters.
Ghostwriters do the heavy lifting, and when all is said and done, you get to walk away with your very own book! You take credit, title yourself an author, see YOUR name on the cover, and claim every bit of the royalty spoils. All of this for just having an idea! Sounds cool, right?
Let’s start off by getting to know each other.
My name is Michelle Deda, and my pseudonym is Michelle E. Lowe. As of now, I live in southern California with my husband, Ben, and our two children. I’ve been writing for over twenty years and have published nineteen titles. You can find my work here on Amazon and Goodreads. A couple of my books had been traditionally published through different publishing houses, Nordland Publishing and Beau Coup Publishing, both of which have closed their doors. To get a sense of my writing, please see my sample page.
My services include:
—Write a novelization of a screenplay
—Rewrite an early draft of a novel to improve voice and style
—Help the author prepare a solid outline (if needed)
—Cover design
To ensure that you get the best that I can offer, I will only manage two clients at a time. Please check my schedule below for my availability.
To get started, simply send an email with the words “Book Idea” in the subject line and tell me about yourself and your story’s premise.
After the initial email, I will send you a brief questionnaire regarding your story. Here are the questions I’ll be asking.
Note: It’s not required that you answer all questions. Answer as many as you can. 😊
1) Do you already have a detailed plot in mind?
2) Do you have a deadline? If so, what is your proposed time frame?
3) How many words do want your book to be? Give a minimum and a maximum.
4) Are you looking for someone to write your book, or is this a rewriting project?
5) How much creative input from me is allowed?
6) How do you envision your main characters?
7) Are there any specific scenes you can see in your mind, regardless of whether it fits into the plot?
8) Can you recommend any books related to your project?
9) Do you have Word on your computer, or will we be working in Google Docs?
After I receive your answers, we will schedule a free consultation, preferably via Zoom, or, if you prefer, we can talk over the phone. We’ll discuss any questions or concerns you have and what needs to be done to make your book happen.
If you decided that I’m the ghostwriter for you, please email me your story outline and also a character sheet explaining each of your characters—i.e., physical descriptions, their personalities, and their place in the story.
Note: Outlines help immensely, especially in fiction, so please make sure you have a detailed chapter-by-chapter outline to move us along. If you need help with outlines, check out How to Write an Outline. If you’re unable to write an outline on your own, then you and I can work to create one and establish a solid premise. Once we have a clear vision of where your story is going, I can then begin to write your book. (Any changes to the story line must be determined beforehand. Any major rewrites during the book writing process could be costly.)
Before you contact me, please read the guidelines below to see what I can do as your ghostwriter!
Your voice
Everyone has their own voice when telling a story. As the author, I’m sure you will want your book to sound as if you had written it yourself. If there is a certain writing style you want your story to emulate, tell me the name of the writer and suggest one of their books.
After the interview, I will send you the first two pages of your story for free and give you a sense of the writing, as well as allow you to address any adjustments and improvements you would like to see. 😊
The process of our writing journey
As your ghostwriter, I’ll help write and transform your ideas into the story you’ve envisioned. I will regard your work as delicately as if it were my own and deliver a full manuscript.
During the writing process, I will send you portions of your book in whatever way you feel most comfortable, i.e., chapter by chapter, in three increments (the beginning, middle, and end), or the whole manuscript at once.
Note: If you change your mind about how you would like to receive your book, it can always be done. If you choose chapter by chapter and later decide to get it in increments, instead, it won’t be a problem.
As you review the material, I will begin working on the next section until complete. I will do three reads before the project is complete. Once the first draft is written, I’ll read over the entire manuscript along with your comments and suggestions and then work on any corrections and adjustments. I will then send the manuscript back to you for another round of reviews. When you send it back to me, I’ll again go over the manuscript. After the second read, I’ll send it on for your approval before I begin my final read. In the third and final read, I’ll address any last-minute issues and suggestions you have, as well as do the final touch-ups, making it ready for editing.
Important note: It is paramount that yur book idea is original. If your story is comparable to someone else’s, whether it be another book, a movie, a video game, etc., you will lose acceptance from an audience and even land yourself in legal trouble over infringement. If I recognized that a story idea sounds far too similar to another existing work, I will send an email expressing my concerns and allow you to decide on whether changes to the story line are in order or if you would prefer to find another ghostwriter.

Payment
-
I do NOT work for a slice of the royalties.
-
Payments are made before any work commences and payment methods are established before the letter of agreement is signed.
-
If you ever wish to sever business ties with me, I require written notice of severance of contract. There are no refunds for work already produced.
. Should I be unable to finish or if I cancel our letter of agreement, I will honorably refund 50% of all payments received.
Deadlines
It generally takes four to twelve months to write a 250+ page book. Should you have a deadline that is less than this time frame, pricing may be affected. See deadlines below.
If for any reason, you cannot make a payment but wish to keep me on as your ghostwriter, let me know and I’ll hold onto your project at no extra cost until you can continue.
Pricing
My pricing guidelines are simple. I don’t charge by the word or by the hour, but rather a flat fee.
There are two options when it comes to payment. It can be made in increments of three as the first, second, and final part of the book is written, or in smaller amounts, depending on your budget.
-
Full-length books ranging between 75,000 and 200,000 words: $5,000 total.
Option One: Pay in three increments of $1,666.
Option Two: Pay in four smaller amounts of $1,250.
. Novellas between 20,000 and 60,000 words: $4,000 total.
Option One: Pay in three increments of $1,333.
Option Two: Pay in four smaller amounts of $1,000.
-
Rewrites for any project: $3,000 total.
Option One: Pay in three increments of $1,000.
Option Two: Pay in four smaller amounts of $750.
Method of payment
After the letter of agreement is signed, I will then send an invoice via PayPal. Payment must be received within 30 days after an invoice is sent or I will assume a non-written contract breach has been made. As a result, the project will be abandoned. It is not necessary to have a PayPal account to make payments.
Editing
While I am not an editor, I will do proofreading and editing on my end at no extra charge. Having said that, after the process is said and done, a professional editor will be required. My personal editor is KH Koehler who is also a cover design artist. I have worked with her on nine of my own books, and I highly recommend her if you’re in the market for an editor and/or cover designer. Her website is https://khkoehler.net/about/
Also, if you haven’t worked with an editor before, I can help you on that front. I’ll work with you and the editor of your choice until we get your book publish-ready. This is also a free service I offer.
As a side note, before the book is sent to an editor, it would be a good idea to have at least one or more beta readers go over the manuscript. Also, a couple of good proofreaders to read the book after editing.
NOTE:
(A proofreader is someone who looks over your manuscript for grammar, punctuation, and spelling mistakes. A proofreader should see your manuscript AFTER all the editing is done, beta readers have made their suggestions, and you have made all of your changes).
Rewrites:
If you have written a book or only partially written one and need help to make it shine, I can help with that!
In writing, there are a set of rules such as point of view (POV), cause & effect, and show not tell. As I help rewrite your story, I’ll correct any writing rule violation(s), clear up confusing writing, make dialog believable, and transform it into a proper book. If you like, I’ll send you comments to point out any major errors so you won’t make the same mistake when writing your next book.
To get started, just email me with the words “Book Rewrite” in the subject line and tell me a little about yourself, your idea, and about all the material you’ve written. Your story should be in a Word document and the first two pages sent as an attachment. I’ll respond to let you know that I have received your email and then read over the material to get a sense of your story. Afterward, I’ll email you back the first two pages edited for free, and if you feel I’m a good fit for your project, then the next step will be to schedule a time for your free consultation to discuss your story over Zoom or by phone.
During the rewriting process, I’ll be sending you back individual chapters. If you have any questions or concerns, just add them to the comment boxes. I will not make any huge changes in your work unless you give me the thumbs up. While you review the current chapter, I’ll be working on the next chapter, and so on.
Note: If anything comes up and you’re unable to continue, let me know immediately and we’ll hold off until you’re ready to begin again.
Once the first draft is completed, I will begin working on the second draft, adding and repairing everything we’ve discussed in the first round. I will again send back each chapter for your review. Once the second draft is complete, I will work on the entire manuscript alone, putting on the finishing touches. At this time, you should be looking for a beta reader(s), proofreader(s), and a professional editor if you haven’t found one already. Once I’m through with the third round of edits, I will send you back the entire manuscript.
Deadlines
If you have a specific time frame in mind for your book to be completed, I need to know exactly how long we have before we begin. As a professional, I will not take on a job if I feel I cannot deliver, so please make sure your deadline is reasonable. As I mentioned before, it usually takes between four to twelve months to write a full-length book, and if you want a project done in two to three months, please make sure you have your detailed outline and character sheet ready.
Putting a book on a tight leash will also tack on the cost simply because more time and focus will be spent on your project. If your deadline calls for the job to be done in half the time it usually takes to write a book, an extra $1,000 will be added whether it’s a full-length book or a novella. Novellas, usually take three to six months to complete, so if you’re thinking two months, have everything ready for a speedy writing process.
Book cover design
If you need a book cover, I can also provide you with a stunning cover image. In fact, I have designed nearly all of my own book covers myself. My rates for an ebook cover is $250 and print $500.
Letter of Agreement
Below is a sample of the letter of agreement. Once we determine the details, such as estimated word count, deadline (if there is one), book title, and payment options, I will add them to the contract I send you.
Please sign and date the PDF document and then email it back to me. If you do not know how to sign a PDF file, here is a short YouTube video on how to do so.
Video
Print out a copy of the letter of agreement for your own records. This letter of agreement also refers to rewriting projects. Once I receive your signed letter of agreement, the work on your book will begin!
I look forward to working with you and helping you bring your story to life!

An exciting steampunk series!
At last, the Age of the Machine Era has arrived! And with it comes the Machine Wars. The Age of the Machine stories begin years after the Legacy tales end when the sons of the infamous outlaw, Pierce Landcross, join the British Army to fight a foe that is both human and mechanical. After the First Machine War ends, the second war gears up over the years. In between it all there is a doctor with a cryo chamber who is resurrecting the dead, time travel to a barren future, battles between vampires and demon half-breeds, a hired gun automaton, reunions, and so much more!
The Age of the Machine is the second series to steampunk/fantasy, Legacy, and its dieselpunk standalone, Boom Time, where you will be reunited with old characters from Legacy as well as being introduced to new ones!

About Moi
I’m a big nerd at heart. I love fantasy and science fiction 
movies such as Indiana Jones, The Neverending Story, Star Wars, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, The Crow, The Lost Boys, etc…
I have to listen to music constantly. Some of my favorite artists are Tori Amos, Radiohead, Kidneythieves, Green Day, White Stripes, Switchblade Symphony, Concrete Blonde, Jane’s Addiction and The Doors. My favorite video games to play is any old Atari game I can pull up on my computer. My number one game crush is Ms. Pac-Man!
And don’t get me started on books! Just to name a few titles I’ve enjoyed, The Tales of the Ketty Jay series by Chris Wooding, The Ember Blade by Chris Wooding, Djinn on the Rocks by Dante Elgin, The French Mistress: A Novel of the Duchess of Portsmouth and King Charles II by Scott, Susan Holloway, Geek Love by Dunn Katherine, Gallows Thief, by Cornwell Bernard, Most of the Odd Thomas series, by Dean Koontz, Heart-Shaped Box, by Dean Koontz, Heart-Shaped Box, by Joe Hill, and currently reading Black Feathers series by Joseph D’ Lacey.
I worked as a film projectionist for nine years until everything went digital. The solitude of working as a projectionist provided the perfect refuge for writing, The Warning, Cherished Thief, and Atlantic Pyramid were all written in a projection booth.
My spoiled cats, Nico and Max.
I also love oil painting.
