Tal M. Klein sent an update for The Punch Escrow

It’s crunch time, people. We are less than two weeks out from the end of the Geek & Sundry hard science fiction competition. Yes, we are in the lead. But there are no guarantees. Though my wife insists I stop hustling and giving all of my free time to this publishing contest before my daughters forget their daddy’s name, I can’t sleep properly until I see my dream of publishing this book come true. It’s not crunch time, it’s Captain Crunch time.

Saleem Dar, a fan of the book has provided this killer puppet rap for The Punch Escrow:

Share it with your friends, tell them if they pre-order the book I’ll buy them lunch. Yes: It’s THE LUNCH ESCROW. What a great idea for a promo Tal’s sleep deprived 12:34am mind! Let’s run with that. On top of all of our other giveaways and raffles, I am announcing the ultimate giant raffle: One lucky (for some definition of that word) winner will be taken out to lunch by me. I might come to you or bring you to me. We will *not* be teleporting. It will be an epic lunch. We will not eat bugs, which are the primary protein source for people in in the 25th century (turns out soylent green was just beetles). It will be awesome and delicious, and anyone who’s pre-ordered a book gets an entry. You get a second entry when someone you refer pre-orders a book.

Oh, and the winner of last week’s shirt and a mug raffle is... Erik Ebert! Erik, I’ll be in touch at the end of the campaign to sort out shipping logistics. There’s another raffle this week, keep those pre-orders and referrals coming!

Last thing:

I haven’t really been using this to promote other books, but there’s one I think you guys should really check out. It’s called Lucky by RH Webster, and from what I’ve read so far it feels like this generation’s The Last Starfighter. I like it not only because of that, but because the protagonist is a girl, and it’s seeming like the kind of story I’d really want my daughters to get into.

The Plight of Hydra

Earth never unified when humanity set out to colonize the stars. When a multi-system conglomerate conquers Earth, humanity is thrown into turmoil. The crew of just one ship, the Hydra, is doing more to turn the tide than most.

Tal M. Klein recommended Lucky

I'm absolutely thrilled to be backing Lucky. I think this book and its author are simple aces. Feels like The Last Starfighter for a new generation.

Lucky

Lucky was going home when she’s suddenly in the middle of an interstellar conspiracy. Who can she trust when she doesn’t know anyone?

Tal M. Klein liked an update for Mission 51

This is a "BIG Welcome" sort of update!

First of all, welcome new readers and followers! I am humbled and truly grateful for your support and encouragement! I am glad you are with me on Mission 51!

And, I am SO excited to announce an artistic collaboration! A very warm welcome to Idan Carré, an awesome young artist who will certainly enhance Mission 51 with her unique vision. As pictures speak louder than words, I will let this one speak for itself. This is a water color by Idan, an interpretation of the opening moments of the chapter titled "The Crash." Enjoy! :-)
