Greeting Jackolytes,

They say the Devil makes work for idle hands, and I’ve got enough of the Devil in me not to stay idle for too long. Currently Jack and his ride are in the Inkshares shop receiving tender ministrations from the folks in the production team. To keep busy, I’ve decided to jump into the most recent Inkshares contest.

The result is Destiny Imperfect. I know you’ve already dug deep for Sync City, but it’d be truly awesome if you could spare the time and money to back the new project. If Destiny Imperfect is in the top three at the end of the contest in six weeks’ time, then I get full production backing at Inkshares – something WELL worth having.

Dig deep, spread the love and Jack will have a stablemate to keep him company! Get on board and pre-order at: Destiny Imperfect. It’d mean the world to me … and probably beer for you …

Cheers,

Peter

I am feeling dizzy with gratitude! This was truly a special night. Mission 51 reached a funding milestone in a truly heartwarming way. I simply asked on Facebook, and friends responded. We now sit a 100 pre-orders! I am overjoyed!

Thank you Marie Nall for helping us get there, and Sally Johnson Reed for your friendship and support! You are the greatest! :-)

And a very special thank you to Michael Haase and wife Margie, who took time off from new baby duties, to dial the pre-orders up to 100! Thank you!! :-)

Michael, as you all must know, is the author of The Madness of Mr. Butler, winner of the Nerdist Space Opera Contest (in production), and of An Adventure With Dada which is currently in funding. Please give them both a look and send some love his way! :-)

In my Sunday update I alluded to something in the works involving me that I was really excited about, but I didn’t give specifics.  Well, now that the new Nerdist contest has begun and the unveil has happened I feel the time is right to tell you about it.

I have a feeling more than a few of you have already seen this particular entry into the contest - Too Many Controllers: An Anthology.  Well, that was my news.  In case you haven’t checked it out yet, I am one of the 15 authors contributing a short story to the collection.  I’ve mentioned before that science fiction was one of my first loves, and a major reason I’m so excited about this collection is that I’m finally going to get a chance to show that love to you all.

That’s all I’m really going to say about the project here, since when you clicked that follow button you were doing so for Exile, Magus.  If you’re interested in keeping up to date with what the 15 of us are doing(myself, Andre Brun, Elayna Mae Darcy, J.F. Dubeau, Brian Guthrie, Paul Inman, Richard Heinz, Ricardo Henriquez, Christopher Huang, Tal M. Klein, Billy O’Keefe, Amanda Orneck, Elan Samuel, Matthew Isaac Sobin, and Jamison Stone), then go follow Too Many Controllers so you can stay up to date as we release more details of the stories contained within.

In case you’re worried that this may delay progress on a campaign relaunch for Exile, Magus, don’t be.  Magus is fully written and just really waiting on a proper developmental edit and publisher.  Currently I’m waiting on my work schedule to slow down enough to have time to properly promote it before I start another campaign.  I’ll have more on that topic when that time is closer, though.

For now I’ll just thank you all for your time, and hope you enjoy yourselves and your reading!
