Hello my fellow sentients!
Whoa! What’s with the banner? Where’s Dagir’s face? Did the author make a mistake?
Not at all my friends. The change of banner is intentional because I need to talk to you about something important (to me).
We’re entering the last few days of the funding campaign for my second book, A God in the Shed, but we are still far from the 750 pre-orders we need for the full publishing run.
"Yeah, but I’m more into the robots."
I get it. I’m into the robots too, obviously. However, the success of A God in the Shed will have an impact on the productions speed of the sequel to The Life Engineered. If you’re a fan of something I do, the best way to support that, at least until I get a little further and a little more confident in this career, is to support a few other things I do. Trust me; A God in the Shed is well worth your investment.
Have a look at the sample chapters. Check out the synopsis. Listen to Paul Inman’s reading of the prologue. Make sure you’ve pre-ordered your signed and numbered copy(ies). I have several incentives to show my gratitude to those who’ve supported the project and I’m adding more as the campaign draws to a close. Here’s one that might interest you: Anyone who gets me ten more pre-orders by the end of the campaign will get a signed, hand drawn illustration of a character or object of their choosing from either A God in the Shed or The Life Engineered. Ever wondered how I imagine a certain Capek to look like? Here’s your chance to be the first to know.
Speaking of Capeks and art, two of my buddies, both great cartoonists and artists have given me the coolest of cool gifts: Fan art. Check out these two interpretations of some space faring Capeks and click on the image to visit their websites!
