Dear Machiners! 

We have an important decision before us. And I need your help because this is just too tough a call. As my benefactors, your support cannot be understated, and therefore you have a voice in the direction our book takes. 

With little further ado…. the cover concepts! Sweeeet, right? Artist Dan Stiles did an outstanding job capturing the essence of The Last Machine in the Solar System. 

Now we need to provide feedback to the production team at Girl Friday and Dan so he can refine one or two of the options as we move toward a final cover. Send me your feedback: Vote #1, #2 or #3 by messaging me with a DM on Inkshares or emailing me at matthew.sobin@gmail.com. Thanks!! 

Hey! It’s exactly 1 year since the end of the first Sword & Laser contest. A year to the day from  when I realized three fundamental truths at the exact same time:

• I love you.

• I have to finish the draft of Asteroid Made of Dragons in 2-3 months. (I only had about 18-20,000 words done at that point.)
  
• This:

A year into this enterprise! Wow! WOW! (wow)

AMOD is out, and we’re starting to leave the initial ’honeymoon’ period and sales spike - what now? What now? What now? I guess I should write something else, huh?

Thank you all again - I know I’ve said it over and over, but ANNIVERSARY OF THANKS.

Don’t forget to put up yer reviews and nominate me for shiny awards.
