Dear Readers,

We are sitting pretty at 173 orders for Deus Hex Machina, which I am super happy about. But with well over 500 orders to go for full publication, it’s time to get creative.

Guys, you are rocking this. 

Thanks to you we’ve gone back up to 7th and are currently standing at 72 readers. This is miles ahead of where we were a few days ago. Thank you so much for your support. 

While we didn’t get 10 in a day like I was hoping for, we got a lot overall. I have your weekly chapter excerpt coming hot off the press momentarily. Don’t mind the spam; it’s all in the name of spaaaaace. The new excerpt is jumping ahead in time a little, giving you a glimpse at what awaits the crew beyond their home system.

That said, we are really running out of time. I need your orders now if you’re a follower who hasn’t placed one yet. 

And if you have ordered, let’s wrap up this word of mouth week by telling our significant other, best friend, or colleague about the book and letting them know where they can order it. If everyone who’s ordered a copy gets one more person in on this we’ll be in great shape to win the Nerdist deal.

Because while I’m sure all us space-nerds are excited about the project, it’s a story intended as a "first foray" into science-fiction. I’ve described it to you a myriad of ways, so let me give you a comment from one of our own:

It’s like The Goblet of Fire meets Hunger Games with a main character who doesn’t appear to be an underdog for once. I find that to be a nice change. (Thanks, Rebecca!)

So if you’ve been holding out to the end, now is the time to pitch your $10 for an e-book, tell your friend to do the same, and spam your social channels incessantly. 

Your Innocuously Insatiable Interplanetary Space Captain Suffering From Incurable Imposter Syndrome,
