Hello, readers!
Greetings, Programs!
We watched Tron Legacy last night. It was enjoyable, not as fun as the original, but still visually stunning. It needed more Bruce Boxleitner though. I think we’ll have to re-watch Babylon 5 soon...
Anywho. Big news!! We’ve reached our (Peter) Quill goal!

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported the campaign! I truly appreciate it!!
And a huge thank you to everyone who pre-ordered yesterday!! The American Cancer Society thanks you too!!
We are in the home stretch of the Geek & Sundry contest, so we can’t stop the momentum!! Please, if you haven’t pre-ordered Pirates of Montana, do so now! Lets keep rocking!!
Rock on,
Erin
Thanks to you, it’s a BOOK!
I woke up this morning to the fantastic news that Pilot X smashed through the 750 preorder goal we needed to get fully published by Inkshares. That means this is a real book now with a real editing process about to start and real book marketing et cetera.
I know I’ve said this a lot but I cannot thank you enough.
Pilot X thanks you too. He really has come a long way since we mistakenly thought he was a crashed airline pilot in the 1990s. Wow is he more than that. He’s not even human. And I can’t wait for all of you to get to know him and his world better. There’s a planet of monks who discover the Dimensional War, a small hut with three Pilot Xs working in it, and of course the Pineapple Planet.
But all of that will come soon enough. For now you’ve made my year!!
Y’all rock.
