Hey Campers!
Greetings Jackolytes,
It’s been a couple of months since Sync City has gone out into the wild, and I’ve been getting some fantastic feedback – thanks very much.
To celebrate, and hopefully get some wider exposure, I’m doing a giveaway on Goodreads. If you follow this link you can enter to win a signed copy of Sync City (scroll down below the book cover and click on Enter Giveaway): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33377334-sync-city.
It’d be awesome if you could dive on in and take part. It would be even better if you could share this link with your friends and family. Head on over to Goodreads! Jack is waiting for you!
Cheers,
Peter
Hi! Long time no update! But here’s a little bit of news!
x
Yep, an eBook sale! If you haven’t purchased Women Like Us and you read on a Kindle or iPad, what are you waiting for?
And if you have read the book, and you haven’t left a review on Amazon, please do so. Doesn’t have to be more than just a few words, but the more reviews the better.
Oh, one more thing: If you haven’t read about our beagle Derric’s book about his journey from Laboratory experiment to Freagle (free beagle!), here’s that link. Check it out, why don’t ya?

So that’s it for now. Happy Reading!
Hey Campers!
My good friend Lew Temple blurbed Sunshine is Forever. Check it out! Your copy arrives August 29, 2017!
Hello everyone!
I have lots of great stuff to share today!
First and foremost – The Bones of the Past eBook is ready and available for download for those who pre-ordered through Inkshares!
To grab your copy, just go to the book page here: https://www.inkshares.com/books/the-bones-of-the-past
After you log in, there should be a ‘Download’ tab under the cover image. The book is available in both EPUB (Kobo/Apple) and MOBI (Kindle).
This should be available to you if you ordered an eBook or if you ordered a hardcopy. If you haven’t received a notification email from Inkshares about it, and the download tab isn’t appearing for you, a quick note to Hello@inkshares.com will get it sorted out quickly.
Second - Paperbacks should start going out sometime next month. I’ll be down in the San Francisco area signing the backer copies on May 8th. Your books will start shipping out shortly thereafter!
Third – For anyone in the Ottawa area (or willing to travel!), Chapters Rideau will be hosting a launch event for the book on May 30th from 6-8pm. Come join us for a reading, coffee, and swag, as well as some appropriately themed baked treats from Lolai’s Yummies! For those who asked – there will be lots of paperback copies available in the store that night :)
Full details are here: https://www.facebook.com/events/126870887829199/
Thank you all again and again. I cannot express how grateful I am for the support you’ve shown me, and the help in getting my story out into the world!
What I love most about Maria’s drawing technique is the balance she strikes between stylistic interpretation and realistic detail. Her innate sense of what’s too little and what’s too much resonates with me, it always has, which is why I’m so excited to be partnering with her in this way. Like me, she’s learning as she goes (or, as my partner Michael would say, she’s building the plane while flying it). Maria’s making great progress, and her illustrations look fantastic!
For those of you who missed Maria’s introduction in my last update, you can catch the video here.
Other news
I’ll be receiving my editor’s comments on May 3, which basically makes me this owl, right now, and for every second until then.

(Very exciting. Blink blink. I might puke I’m so nervous.)
Also exciting, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau paid Kitchener a visit yesterday. The folks at Vidyard hosted him. They took him on a tour of the office and chatted about many things.
I had the pleasure of tuning in to watch the livestream of the chat, which was fantastic (full recording here: http://demos.vidyard.com/watch/7VRMFw6CbkSfmFfPTsaaRH).
To everyone who pitched in to make yesterday seem so dreamy from the stands: Congratulations on doing an incredible job of hosting our country’s leader. Thank you for making such a lasting and positive impression. I’m proud to be part of a community where members push themselves to be compassionate and thoughtful, take risks, and behave transparently.
End of news.
You can probably surmise that the phrase ’Your book is in the mail’ is my dearest haunt. I can’t wait for the moment when I get to call you up (email or text, more likely) and say those words. So I thank you for your continued patience and understanding. Most of all, I want to thank you for reading!

Now for some fun bits... ;)
Maria’s creative process has been fascinating to observe. I mentioned how, like me, she’s figuring things out as she goes. Maria’s had to stretch her limits to overcome challenges, and in doing so, has developed her own techniques (read: hacked solutions together and I love it).
It’s my pleasure to be sharing with you some of her midstream work.
(^ ERMAGHERD!)
I hope you’re tantalized by these small flashes. Stay tuned for more detail in updates to come!
Hey fans and friends!
I want to give everyone who preordered my book in the funding stage something special. I really appreciate the support. Publishing with Inkshares has been a dream. So, if you were one of the first 750 people to preorder a paperback of my book, you will also get this limited bookmark with your shipment. (E-book preorders will not get this perk, mostly because you don’t need a bookmark for an e-book haha)
Thanks again!
Also, I was in Better Call Saul last night. Lines got cut, but you still see me, and I still got credited. Check it out!
Thanks for the continued support!
