Rogue time-traveler works to discover more about a developing conspiracy on her home planet while trying to keep Earth safe.
Yesterday I was informed that The Punch Escrow will be the official inaugural selection for the Geek & Sundry collection on Inkshares! At this point I am still shocked that all of this is happening: That my book is getting published through Inkshares, on the Geek & Sundry imprint. I love you guys, I’ll never be able to give enough thanks for your help in making this happen.
As for the book itself, I’m still in the midst of the first rewrite, currently in the midst of the eighth chapter, The Sky Cries Martyr. In case you want a window into what that looks like, here you go:
As you can imagine, it’s a long and grueling, but living process. For example, even this screenshot is not up to date, as last night I got rid of the "eye cam" reference because it was redundant and slowed down the flow.
Don’t let my pursuit of perfection worry you though, I think I’m well on pace to deliver the rewrite to Inkshares by my August 1 deadline. Once I do that I’ll be able to share a more concrete publication timeline. I’m really looking forward to working with Inkshares and Geek & Sundry on making this book the best it can be. You guys are awesome.

Happy Belated Pubday to Monkey Business!
Monkey Business is done. Available for buying. Available for reading. Available for loving.
I will do a much better update tomorrow but for now I just want to say thank you to everyone who has been kind enough to support this book. Thank you to Inkshares. Thank you to Girl Friday Productions. Thank you to everyone who is getting this update. You’re all the best.
I have signed all your preorder copies and they should be getting to you in about two weeks (maybe sooner!) I was unable to think of a unique quote to write in every single book but I was able to write something different in a lot of them. As a consequence some of you are going to get some pretty weird shit in your books. I hope it makes it a little more special. Here’s one of my favorites:
One of you (and I have no way of knowing who it will be) is getting an actual 4-leaf clover in your book. Because I found one that day and thought it would be a nice gesture. So whoever you are, enjoy that. I hope it brings you luck.
I’ll write again this week with a proper update. Thank you. Hugs and Kisses from me and all those hairy little foul-mouthed monkeys you’ve helped support.

Wow! We’re now at 29 copies sold (at 27 readers) and 59 followers! Let’s do some quick math. The campaign goes on for another 77 days. We’re at 11.6% of the funding goal for 250 copies (3% of the 750 goal). While it would be nice to hit 750, our hard number is 250. If three people become readers per day, we’ll hit that funding goal!
I’ve got a Facebook ad out there, which looks like it’s reached a few people. I’ve never run a FB ad before, so we’ll see if it’s of any use. If you were directed here through that ad, or if you’ve seen the ad out in the wild, let me know!
I’m continuing to work on this end. More words are tumbling from my fingertips tonight. If we can hit 50 readers by June 1st, I’ll share Chapter 2! Please get out there and share with your friends!
The following is a PSA for all those writer types out there on my follower list:
