That’s right, my friends! Today is the release day for Book #2 of the Imminent Danger series — Chasing Nonconformity!
I’ve been writing this book since 2010, and hyping it up since 2013, and finally — FINALLY! — it’s published. Feel free to start freaking out. I know I am. It’s done! Woooooooooo!
So Chasing Nonconformity basically picks up right after Imminent Danger ended. We once again follow Eris on her awesome outer space adventures as she flies around the galaxy with Varrin, Miguri, and Grashk, and tries not to get abducted or shot or killed. Which happens to her a lot. Like, a lot.
All the details about the book are below. If you want to help out with the release and share the book link, that would be absolutely awesome. If you do end up reading the book, please consider leaving a review (because reviews are the lifeblood of a self-published author, they determine the success or failure of a self-published book, yada yada yada). And if you’d like to get your hands on a signed print copy of the book, shoot me an email (michellishelli@gmail.com) and let me know. It’ll be $10/book + shipping.
Thank you so much to everyone who’s stuck by me during this incredibly long writing/editing/publishing process. I know it took literally forever, but I wanted to make the sequel as close to perfect as it could get. And I think you’ll really enjoy the results of my efforts.
So click the link below, share it if you feel the urge, and above all, stay awesome!!!

Still reeling from accidentally marrying an exiled alien prince named Varrin, and from almost getting her head blown off by a six-armed lizard man with anger management issues, seventeen-year-old Eris Miller is ready for a vacation. But Varrin is desperate to rescue his beloved spaceship, the Nonconformity, from the clutches of the galactic government, so her vacation will just have to wait.
While Eris and Varrin chase after the stolen ship, they’re unaware that trouble is brewing on the other side of the galaxy. The villainous Emperor of Rakor has assembled a task force, led by the commander of the deadly Skin Slicers, to hunt Varrin down.
With enemies closing in and the Nonconformity slipping further and further from their grasp, Eris must ask herself: how much is she willing to sacrifice to ensure her happily ever after?

Check it out!
Thanks so much for the reblog 🙂 Fingers crossed for an awesome launch day!
Reblogged this on Legends of Windemere.
Thanks so much for the reblog 🙂 I can’t believe it’s finally done!!!
You’re welcome. Going to celebrate?
That’s a phenomenal idea. I think I will splurge with sushi and apple pie tonight. Ooooh maybe I’ll even grab a Tim Hortons hot chocolate when I go to pick up my roommate from the airport … (my celebration is so lame, lol, I know)
Sushi and apple pie is an interesting combo. Never been to a Tim Hortons though. They aren’t around here.
Canadian special, I’m afraid. Although I’ve seen a handful in the northern US. I actually ended up skipping the apple pie due to sushi coma. Siiiigh.
I sense a two day celebration to make sure you get some pie.
I ended up having two slices of pie for breakfast. Delicious at the time. Regretting it now, lol.
I feel for you. Just stuffed myself at a restaurant and decided to go for dessert too. I should hate myself, but that seems like too much effort.
The first sentence in your blurb is fantastic, Michelle! Already bought my copy. 🙂
Yaaaaaaaay 😀 Thanks so much, and happy reading!!!
Congrats, Michelle! Wishing you great success!
Thanks 😀 I’m still in the state of “oh my god I can’t believe it’s done”, lol.
I bet! Time to celebrate!!
Yes! My current plan is to eat sushi and watch Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Or possibly Titanic. But only the first half, because the second half is hella depressing.
Great plan! I love Chitty! It makes dance. 😀

Dear friends, let us celebrate author Michelle Proulx on the release day of CHASING NONCONFORMITY! 🙂
Thanks so much for the reblog! I am proud to announce that I’m up to a grand total of NINE sales so far, which is more than I’ve gotten since like April, so I’m pretty psyched, lol.
You are welcome, Michelle! Good luck! May I invite you to be featured in my ’10 Statements’ category?
Sure! That sounds like fun 🙂
Great, an e-mail is on its way. 🙂
Got it! Will respond as soon as I get the chance 🙂 Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend, so will be slightly hectic.
Take you time, Michelle. And most of all: Happy Thanksgiving!
Great. I will have to read this one.
Awesome! Let me know how it goes 😀
Ahh! Totally missed this! Grabbing my copy now, and I’ll reblog, too!
Sweet! Thanks 🙂

Book 2 in Michelle Proulx’s “Imminent Danger” series is now out! If you haven’t read the first one, you should, then you should pick this one up, too!
Woo hoo! How exciting! Congrats, hon!!! 😀
Thanks!!! Sales are slow but encouraging. Now to actually start writing the third book … lol
BTW, I reviewed Chasing on zon & GR 🙂
Sweet! Thanks so much 🙂 Also, I’m so calling it Zon from now on.
Ha ha – cool! Trend set 😀
Squee! I’m SO behind the times; I didn’t know this was out! I just re-read the original the other day, so great timing; I can read this immediately.
And I see you have new covers; they look very professional! I need to re-release “Acceptance” with a new cover, too. I have it designed, I just need to suck it up and do the tedious work necessary to change it out and fix a few typos. (I also have my historical romance novel ready to go; I just need to do all the submission work and final proof review on it.)
Speaking of which, I noticed on your GoodReads blurb that you talk about the Nonconformity being further and further away. I’m pretty sure that should be farther and farther away. It was just recently that I learned the difference; “further” means to advance something (“I am furthering my interests”) while “farther” means to move away from. Here in the South, we only ever use “further” (and we also only use “lay,” never “lie”), so it’s been really recently that I learned the difference. Sometimes I still get into a gray area where I’m not sure which to use.
A friend from New York state pointed out to me in my first book that it’s not correct to say “sit in the floor”–a very Southern way of speaking. People sit *on* the floor. Regional dialects are a real handicap for writers!
I guess I can kiss cleaning the kitchen tomorrow goodbye. I’m going to be reading!
Hey!!! This is an excellent coincidence, because I was just looking through my bookshelf for something to read and I spotted Acceptance and thought “What the heck is Keri up to these days?” And then literally the next day I get this message from you, so … great minds think alike? Lol. Yes, Chasing Nonconformity is published! You’ve probably started reading it already by the time you see this comment, so I hope it’s going well, and that you’re enjoying it 😀 Also, yay on a new Acceptance cover! I’m also quite intrigued by the historical romance — shoot me a message when it’s published and I’ll gladly help you promote it (and obviously I also want to read it, lol). As for further vs farther … yeah, I was wondering about that too. I did a lot of research, and the bottom line I came up with is “farther” is technically correct, but “further” is being used so much in that context these days that it’s correct as well. So … I went with it, lol. Hopefully it was the right decision 😀 Happy reading, and can’t wait to hear about your books!!!
You may be right about further/farther. I seem to recall reading one of the Game of Thrones books and questioning Martin’s use of further instead of farther. But, personally, I think it’s more important to do away with lie/lay. Further and farther make some sense and are generally not that hard to figure out. Lay/lie is not only harder to figure out, but their irregular conjugations–including lay as a past tense of lie–is crazy confusing!
Read all of your new book Sunday and I’m posting a review of it today! You’ll probably see the pingback.
I think the big takeaway here is that English is a silly language (lol). You’re finished the book already! Wow! I shall keep my eyes peeled for the review.
