Last call! Order IN BETA now or, uh, pick it up in bookstores later (hopefully). The Nerdist video game contest ends tomorrow, and it’s been a helluva ride. I’ll be glad to quit hustling and return to churning out the video game-themed hilarity.

Woohoo!!  Mission 51 just passed the 150 pre-order mark! This is very exciting! Do you know what that means? It means we can run the Mission 51 Raffle!

I will now enter the names of every person who pre-ordered Mission 51 so far into Riffle Raffle. Here is a link to the original post and rules for the raffle. The winner will be chosen randomly, electronically.

I’ll announce the winner sometime this weekend. Good luck! :-)

And please, keep pushing Mission 51 to all your peeps. We still have 97 pre-orders to go, and only 22 days in which to do it, for Inkshares to publish this book! We can do it!!! :-)

Wow. Two e-mails in one day. Sorry if that bothers you, but I honestly could NOT just leave you all with Chapter 7. I just couldn’t do it.

So Chapter 8 is up! Pieces of the puzzle begin to fall into place during this chapter and you finally get to meet someone very very important... Kaiya’s brother.

What? You didn’t know she had a brother? That’s cool. Neither did she. ;)

Oh, yeah. Also, there’s only 36 days left of the campaign. Is it even possible to get 172 pre-orders in 36 days? Part of me says no, but I want to prove that part wrong. I can with your help.

Take care. Love always,

This week I’d like to use my author spotlight to bring your attention to one of the top-level entrants in the Nerdist competition: Destiny Imperfect.
 

This book promises to be an absolute mindscrew. The idea of a world where virtual reality and actual reality are so closely intertwined that it’s a challenge just to differentiate between the two is so full of potential. The places this story can explore from a psychological standpoint are endless, and based only on what I’ve seen so far, it looks like Destiny Imperfect is going to throw me into a full-on existential crisis. But in a good way.

Seriously check out this book. I want it on my shelf right now.
