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.
