Hello readers!
Apart from a most heartfelt "thank you" dear contributors, you are off the hook today. I know that traditionally, in the last few days of this race I should be 'rallying my base', but today I want to talk to my followers who are not yet part of the assembly. I want to talk to the followers who still hesitate to pre-order.
Hi guys. Thanks for taking an interest in The Life Engineered. Whether you got here because you like robots, the sample chapters intrigued you or some other detail of my book hit a nerve, I want to say I'm glad for your presence. Even if, in the end, you do not pre-order, I'm still happy for the audience. A lot of this campaigning is a performance. A lot of hard work being put into making just the right amount of noise, keeping it pleasant and putting on a show. Having spectators is important.
Let me point out however, that your contribution would be incredibly appreciated. If you're sitting on a few credits, consider tossing them my way. I've tried to add on some incentives in the form of art prints and a raffle for a model but in the end, the true reason to pre-order The Life Engineered is the book itself. I don't want to brag, but there is something cool and unique about the optimism and characters in this book that I think, if you made it this far, you'll truly enjoy.
So please consider pulling the trigger on this and pre-ordering on (or more) copies. Then one day, we'll meet at a book show or con and we'll have coffee and talk about robots and it will be awesome.
Thank you again for your support.

Hello Standard Constructs, Advanced A.I.s and potential recruits!
I come to you bearing tidings of things to come. As I sit here, typing these words, there are a little more then 41 hours left to the Sword & Laser Collection contest. We are now in sixth place as the competition has gotten more aggressive. However, I see the future clearly and my vision is clear; you guys are going to help me back into the top five and we are going to celebrate come Monday morning.
Here's how:
All kidding aside (except for that robot uprising thing. That's legit.), this is a very important opportunity for me. I thank you for bringing me this far and I feel bad for asking more of you, but I need that last little bit of help. If you think that your one book order won't matter in the end or that it can wait until Monday, I'm afraid you are incorrect. Every pre-order matters and they matter more before Sunday, midnight PST.
You guys have been amazing. Only two more days of being amazing left, then we can all go back to being just cool.
