"When are you going to shut up about that other book and go back to writing about robots!?!"

That’s a question that I haven’t had from anyone yet. Honestly I doubt I ever will because my supporters are ’super rad’ as the kids are saying. However, I will be talking about ’that other book’ here because...

Only 6 more days before the end of the campaign for A God in the Shed!

In 6 days I’ll be celebrating the end of this journey either as a success or a failure. This is why I pulled out these two bottles of whisky:

The first is the one from which I’ll be drinking if the campaign doesn’t fund. It is made from distilled sadness and the ashes of failed projects. The second is one of my favourite scotches and has a deep peaty flavour that I adore.

Let’s make sure I drink from the second bottle. Here’s what’s in it for you and for those you encourage in pre-ordering A God in the Shed:

  • Each pre-order enters you into the ‘I want to kill a reader’ raffle. The winner will have his name and likeness used in the book as a minor character that gets killed off. The author will work with the winner to find the appropriate means of demise to satisfy both the winner and the story. 
  • Each physical copy of A God in the Shed will be signed and numbered as an exclusive first edition item. 
  • Free, exclusive A God in the Shed bookmarks will be included with the physical copies and mailed to eBook supporters. 
  • Orders of three or more copies guarantees your name to appear in the Patrons list printed at the end of the book. 
  • You get to enjoy the satisfaction and pride at having supported both art and literature. 
So go pick up a copy of A God in the Shed and force all your friends and family to do the same. It’s for a good cause.

And while you’re at it; pick up a copy of Pilot X by Tom Merritt. Tom (amongst others) has been very good to me in my career as a writer and Pilot X is a rad book. Check it out.

Thanks for the support. You’re all amazing guys/gals/sentient mechanical intelligences.
