Hi all my buddies! (Can I call you my buddies? I totally feel like we’re buddies at this point) 

So, Space Tripping has officially launched! And honestly, it’s been awesome. I’ve been greatly humbled by the support I received at our first two book signings... Look at this picture!

That’s Space Tripping! On an end-cap at a Barnes and Noble! How cool is that? 

If you’re getting this email, then you helped make this happen. Words cannot do justice to how grateful I am. Thank you. 

And, hey, if you’re in the Chicago area, we have one more book signing scheduled. It is this Friday, March 31st. We’ll be at:

City Lit Books, 2523 N Kedzie Blvd, Chicago, IL 60647 - 6:30-8:00pm

If you’re in the area, I hope you’ll come say "Hi!" (And do it just like that... literally shout "Hi!" at me)

Byeeeeeeeeeee...

LOOK OUT AGAIN!!!

LOOK OUT!!!

Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you... I just wanted to drop a quick reminder that this Saturday (March 25th) is our first big Launch Event. Should you find yourself hanging out in the greater Chicago-land area, swing on over to the Barnes and Noble in downtown Naperville, IL. Starting at noon, and ending whenever they kick me out (I give it three hours), I’ll be hanging out, signing books, giving away some cool new Space Tripping themed merch, and there’ll be cookies! (Seriously)

Here are the details one more time:

Saturday March 25th

Pub Day Update!

Well, it didn’t take long for today to get crazy. Those of you who had issues downloading the ebook, please try again. It should be all set. 

Psst... hey... hey you... yes you, my wonderful supporter of Space Tripping... you want to hear some really cool news? 

Audible has officially signed a deal with my most benevolent publishing overlords at Inkshares. Space Tripping is going to be adapted into an audio book!  I know! Crazy, right? 

But wait, the fun stuff doesn’t stop there. We’ve got a couple of pending events that you should check out. If you’re into Twitter, I will be taking over Young Entertainment Magazine’s official twitter account for two hours this Thursday March 2nd (4-6pm Eastern). I anticipate many a hijink to occur. 

Sidebar: Is the singular of hijinks, "hijink"? You know, for the casual miscreant who doesn’t have time for a full days worth of mischief. They can sneak in a quick hijink during lunch hour. Anyway, where were we?

We’’re also working on some signing and launch events at bookstores in both the greater Chicago and Cincinnati areas.

Currently, we are booked (pun very much intended) at the Barnes & Noble in downtown Naperville, IL on March 18th and at City Lit Books in Chicago on March 31st.

I will also be getting interviewed on the Nick Digilio show (WGN Chicago) sometime in the near future. Be on the lookup for future updates. 

You can always check out spacetrippingbook.com for additional details as they evolve. 

Thanks again, friends. 

Hey there you wonderful human being,

We are less than a month away from the official release of Space Tripping (March 7th)! But you all, as original project backers, will be getting your copies any day now. You may notice something missing from those copies... my signature. 

I would love to still sign each and every one of your copies, Obviously it will be no problem for those of you I’ll see in person in the near future. For everyone else, if you want to send me your copy, I would be more than happy to sign and return it. Feel free to email my "writer address" at ramblingwaffle@gmail.com (The backstory for that name is long and uninteresting... trust me, it’s not worth the time it takes to explain it). But I also understand that’s not the most convenient solution. So, to make up for it, I will be sending you all a little something later in the month. 

Now, on to the fun stuff! We are working on some book launch events and interviews with various media outlets in the Chicago and Cincinnati areas. Be on the look out for another update with details. I’m going to be counting on you all to lend support whether it’s by showing up, tuning in, or forwarding on the info to your respective social media circles. 

I can’t believe it’s about a year since I was bugging you all to pre-order a copy. And now we’re about to send this book out into the world. 

Thank you all so very very much,

Pat

Dear Space Tripping Backers,

Yesterday we prematurely sent out a system-generated email saying that the print book is ready to ship out. The book is currently in editorial and is on schedule to ship out early 2017. Sorry about the confusion and thanks for your support!

Cheers,

Thad
