It’s the last day to help fund Deus Hex Machina, and I’m in a giving mood.
EVERY order today will get a gift from me: a graphic novel short story I wrote as part of the compilation Winter’s Eye (available on Amazon here).
So how can you, the book supporter who’s already ordered help? Please get ask one friend to order to the book today!
Yes I know it’s an impossible task, but I have visions of full funding today. Of waking up to 750 orders. That’s only 450. NBD. Totally doable. Do I *know* 450 people? NOPE. Aye, there’s the rub.
Love to all you crazy book lovers. You’re the reason this book is a thing.
See you on the other side of funding
Quick Pilot X Update
So things are progressing well and the best thing of all is we have an official publication date!
Pilot X is set to come out March 14, 2017.
Your early support and patience will definitely be rewarded.
I met with the fine folks at Girl Friday Productions last week to talk over the plan and we’re in the process of settling on cover art. Very excited. The visual style will be a big departure from my video, I promise, Heh.
THE EDIT!
Got the first edit back from Clete with some excellent suggestions. Very excited that one of the suggestions was not "hmm, you should start over." So that’s positive!
Actually the book is in better shape than I expected with some areas that need clarification and mostly concentrating on keeping it friendly to new readers. So I’m 100% confident this is going to be a better book than it was before. I sent my first pass back to Clete yesterday.
RANDOM BOOK FACT
If you were at a party on Alenda you might find yourself eating a creamed farragut pastry and a bottle of Kreistner’s Malt .
Thanks again for your belief in and support for this book! I wish it was March already.

I kicked the campaign off but I’m waiting until late July to ’launch’ on social media when I have a cover. That said, I’ve been reaching out to close friends and fam in the hope of getting to the quill level by then.
To help boost that effort a bit - anyone interested in cross-promoting books? I have a blog (christopherirvin.net) that gets pretty solid traffic and sharing across social media. I’m planning to host an Inkshares author each Wednesday through August. If you are interested, take a look at Wrestletown and if you think you’re audience might be a good fit, let me know and we’ll get something on the schedule.
Thanks!
Chris
