Greetings followers!!

First off, I just want to say WOW you guys are awesome!! I received a spike in pre-orders yesterday and I can’t thank you all enough for your support. Currently, I am in 3rd place but these last 8 days are going to be crucial for me to stay in the Top 3. If you haven’t pre-ordered yet, hit that pre-order button, you won’t regret it!

Also, I just realized that I hit 150 pre-orders (that’s 100 pre-orders away from reaching Quill!). I was literally in tears, sitting in lab, when I saw that number because to me, it means that there are people out there who support my project and want my story published. With all of the negativity out there in light of two police killings of black people, I hold on to these moments of happiness. 

I’ll leave you all with another piece to the painting puzzle. Have a good night!

Top of the Thursday, Space Crew!

Welp, I know this is almost a week late. If it’s any consolation, that might mean two updates in one week? Or should I spare your inboxes? Lemme know. 

The thing is, I’ve been legitimately busy legitimately working on legitimate projects. Oh, and impromptu travel and hosting friends from out of town. All in good fun. But mostly this summer is about working for you guys, and I’ve been doing a lot of that. 

First, This Weekend is Montreal ComicCon!
I’m going to come hang out on Saturday, mostly in the vendor area, and talk about my book. I’ll have some of these fancy bookmarks with me to give away. If you’re going, please hit me up. Tweeting at me is going to be the best way (@ac_baldwin). 

Podcast Coming Soon!
Last week I spent an hour talking to my old friend Frédéric Byé. Fred hosts a podcast called Creative Magic Unchained where he interviews all sorts of writerly folk and asks them tough questions. You can listen to me awkwardly stumble through them once the cast goes live at the end of the month. 

Theme Song...Come on Now, Guys. We’re So Close. 
I’ve been working my bottom off to get this done. I’m close. We’re close. We need about ten orders. You know who you are. 

And you know, if we have a theme song, it would only make sense to publish a book trailer. Not that I’ve been secretly working on one or anything. What. 

Now go forward and enjoy your Friday and the weekend and please come see me at Montreal ComicCon. 

Your Sly and Sassy Space Captain,

Today, I hit the motherload of endorsements. 

"Prescott is one brilliant dude, and I cannot wait to see what he cooks up, in any medium!"

- JJ Abrams

Yes, that actually showed up in my inbox earlier this afternoon. I am incredibly flattered and more than a little shocked. What a vote of confidence! 

There are just days left in the contest, and the pressure is building. Please share this exciting news with social networks, and help me make IN BETA a thing!
