Pub Day Update!

Well, it didn’t take long for today to get crazy. Those of you who had issues downloading the ebook, please try again. It should be all set. 

Psst... hey... hey you... yes you, my wonderful supporter of Space Tripping... you want to hear some really cool news? 

Audible has officially signed a deal with my most benevolent publishing overlords at Inkshares. Space Tripping is going to be adapted into an audio book!  I know! Crazy, right? 

But wait, the fun stuff doesn’t stop there. We’ve got a couple of pending events that you should check out. If you’re into Twitter, I will be taking over Young Entertainment Magazine’s official twitter account for two hours this Thursday March 2nd (4-6pm Eastern). I anticipate many a hijink to occur. 

Sidebar: Is the singular of hijinks, "hijink"? You know, for the casual miscreant who doesn’t have time for a full days worth of mischief. They can sneak in a quick hijink during lunch hour. Anyway, where were we?

We’’re also working on some signing and launch events at bookstores in both the greater Chicago and Cincinnati areas.

Currently, we are booked (pun very much intended) at the Barnes & Noble in downtown Naperville, IL on March 18th and at City Lit Books in Chicago on March 31st.

I will also be getting interviewed on the Nick Digilio show (WGN Chicago) sometime in the near future. Be on the lookup for future updates. 

You can always check out spacetrippingbook.com for additional details as they evolve. 

Thanks again, friends. 

Hey there you wonderful human being,

We are less than a month away from the official release of Space Tripping (March 7th)! But you all, as original project backers, will be getting your copies any day now. You may notice something missing from those copies... my signature. 

I would love to still sign each and every one of your copies, Obviously it will be no problem for those of you I’ll see in person in the near future. For everyone else, if you want to send me your copy, I would be more than happy to sign and return it. Feel free to email my "writer address" at ramblingwaffle@gmail.com (The backstory for that name is long and uninteresting... trust me, it’s not worth the time it takes to explain it). But I also understand that’s not the most convenient solution. So, to make up for it, I will be sending you all a little something later in the month. 

Now, on to the fun stuff! We are working on some book launch events and interviews with various media outlets in the Chicago and Cincinnati areas. Be on the look out for another update with details. I’m going to be counting on you all to lend support whether it’s by showing up, tuning in, or forwarding on the info to your respective social media circles. 

I can’t believe it’s about a year since I was bugging you all to pre-order a copy. And now we’re about to send this book out into the world. 

Thank you all so very very much,

Pat

Seasons Greetings all you beautiful souls who helped make Space Tripping a reality!

It’s been a minute since I stopped by your inboxes to say "Hi," and it’s past time I brought you up to speed on the latest project highlights: 

1. We are still on pace for a release date in the first week of March 2017

2. We are starting to get some larger and larger orders from distributors! We’re talking multiple hundreds of copies in some instances... I know, right?!

3. Both Amazon and Target are now accepting pre-orders! (Need a holiday gift for someone special? Pre-order a copy of Space Tripping and give them a print-out of the purchase confirmation! I promise you they’ll like that waaaaay more than an Apple Watch or a Hatchimal)

4. Space Tripping is currently holding a 4 Star reader review rating over at Goodreads.com!

 5. Four amazing authors have been gracious enough to supply praise-laden quotes which be will printed on the book cover. That fact that these people not only took the time to read Space Tripping, but were also willing to give it their stamp of approval, has left me both humbled and grateful. If you’re reading this email, it means you’ve already done me a solid favor by helping to support Space Tripping. Now I’m going to ask you for another favor. Go and check out the works of these people who are not only talented writers, but also excellent human beings. If you see something they’ve done that looks good, buy a copy. Then shoot them a note to tell ’em Pat Edwards sent you:

- "A funny, imaginative sci-fi misadventure that channels Douglas Adams with its surreal universe and the manic creatures who inhabit it."  — Zac Thompson, co-creator of The Dregs comic and contributor to VICE (@ZacBeThompson )

Guess what?!

We have an official book cover! I’d like give a very special thanks to folks over at Inkshares and Girl Friday Productions! I couldn’t be more thrilled with how everything has progressed. 

Head over to the Space Tripping order page to check it out!
