Dear Readers,

I am happy to say that we are doing VERY well - this week saw a decent jump in pre-orders and LUCKY’s location on the Nerdist Space Opera contest position. As of this update, she’s sitting at #3 and praying for a lucky break (sorry, I couldn’t resist!) to stay in the top three until March 16.

Of interest this week: LUCKY and I were featured on the Inkshares blog as part of the top ten authors. The link is here: http://blog.inkshares.com/post/139990528800/what-inspires-the-top-contestants-in-the-nerdist Check it out!

Unfortunately I still haven’t fixed the chapter order issue yet. My real-life job kept me swamped ALL WEEK and I have house guests until Monday. I’ll get there, but feel free to still leave feedback. I love hearing from y’all and I read each comment carefully.

Stay tuned for more updates coming hopefully early next week! Please continue to share LUCKY around with your friends, families, random strangers...you know the drill. Sharing is caring, my friends!

Tony Valdez liked an update for The Remains Of Civilization

Hey all,

I’ve meaning to make this update for a while now, and I am proud to say I had finally gotten around to it. I’ll keep this brief and give you guys the Cliffsnotes of what I wanted to tell you.

We crossed 100 preorders! Yay! Huge thanks Billy O’Keefe and Kelsey Rae Barthel in their help for crossing that line. Thanks to everyone for their support and trust in book. I really couldn’t have crossed this milestone if it weren’t for you supportive folks out there.

1 months left until the preorder campaign officially ends. Can we get this book into Quill? Let’s push for the LAST time and see how many more this can get before it ends!

Cheers,

Yicheng Liu

We’ve broke 100 pre-orders and you know what that means...50 POINT RAFFLE TIME!!!

That’s right! We’ve finally made it to 100 book orders. I’m super excited that you’ve all taken the time to help back my work. Now time for the raffle. And the winner is... JASON POMERANCE!!!!!

Congratulations!!! Your super soft blanket will be in the mail soon.

If you want to see pictures posted of me being silly on camera doing the raffle follow the link below to Beyond the Code’s facebook page.

This campaign has been an real joyous and at the same time frightening experience so far but it’s not over yet. The road is a little less than half way done and we are just shy of half way there. If you like my hard work please don’t forget to pre-order. Not only will you get good karma for helping a dream come true and have a good book to read, also in another 50 orders you’ll have a chance to win a nice, soft fleece blanket.

Thank you all so much for your continuing support and feedback and I hope you have a great weekend.

Chapter 2 is now UP! YAY!

Dr. Anita Baxter awakes to find that human beings long abandoned Earth after it was razed by alien terrorists and Penny’s bedside manner is not exactly helping matters much. Imagine waking up on a spaceship to find that everything and everyone you ever knew no longer existed. Yeah, she doesn’t take it very well...

Oh, and they also almost get blown to smithereens by the bad guys...because that’s what bad guys do. I read that in a book somewhere.

Thanks for comments so far guys! I guess I should probably say a little more about this mystery project. It’s something that’s been brewing for years, and I’m still trying to figure out how to frame it. Originally I was outlining it as a series of small scripts fit for a TV miniseries, or a short-run comic book series. A series very much inspired by the likes of Cowboy Bebop, Firefly, Transmetropolitan and the like. A spin on a future Earth (still not decided on how far into the future), where things have ended up pretty crummy. Political revolutions, global warming, etc have left large chunks of the globe as expansive wastelands. Depending on what part of society you may dwell in, you’ll find everything from hi-tech cyberpunk landscapes, to the gritty barren deserts of Tatooine. There’s even a city of outcast robots, as A.I. has been banned from human society. The battles between the rich, poor and middle-class continue. And weaving through the lines of all this are Jack and Ed, a pair of bounty hunters operating out of one of the scattered mega-metropolitan cities in America. Originally, my plan was to create a series of episodes (25 give or take), telling Jack and Ed’s adventures in their line of work. The interesting characters they come across in this world, people and situations that tell us more about their character, and circumstances that at times further solidify and other times make them question their alliance with each other. The stories would mostly be standalones, but serve to further the character development, as well as slowly piece together an ongoing larger story arc to be resolved. There will be laughs, there will be tears, there will be mystery, and buttloads of action. And at the heart of it, Jack and Ed, an unlikely pair who (whether they admit to it or not) end up each other’s rock in this crazy post-apocalypse. A very Shane Black styled Lethal Weapon buddy duo. I could ramble about this forever, but I can’t let myself get too excited for this at the moment, as I’m still finishing my current project: Dax Harrison. Stay tuned though! There will be more here eventually. :)

Hey hey everyone!

So I made a nice new pitch video for the project page where you get to see me speaking enthusiastically (and somewhat awkwardly) about this little book that I love so much. There’s even a post-credits zinger at the end (No, Sam Jackson doesn’t walk on camera and ask me to join a superhero team...yet). Please check that out and if you haven’t already, pre-order, won’t you? I will love you forever and not in an icky and inappropriate way.

I’m also very close to finishing some freebies to send out to all those who pre-order. Unfortunately, they are not retro-future ray guns, as the government has a problem with people mailing out portable atomic weapons...who knew? But, more on what the freebies are once I get ’em finished. Soon soon soon.

Thanks again for the support! Pre-order! Share! Rinse! Repeat!

Love (in a completely platonic way),

Jason
