Why hello there, Space Crew!

I know it’s been a while, but I’m pleased to announce...

 

That’s right. I’m back with a vengeance, and with the intent to use this summer to sell roughly 500 more copies of The Traveller’s Cup. 

Where have you been, dude?
As I mentioned through various channels last month, I decided to give myself a bit of a vacation from my newfound job as a writer (AKA my own publicist), so that my brain could wiggle itself free of the anxieties that go along with that. You might be pleased to know that since then I have accomplished the following things:

• Rewatched the entirety of The Office (again)
• Learned a bunch of new songs on guitar
• I think my hair grew like half an inch
• Made my own food a few times (it was only cupcakes twice)
• Made myself go out and see people
• Actually went to the doctor
• Lost 10 lbs somehow

So clearly I’ve owned at life enough to add book promo back into the mix. 

So uh, what’s up with the book?
Right, that. While putting this off may have interrupted the flow a bit, I have a very clear to-do list on my side. 

•  Get this book mentioned. On podcasts, blogs, mainstream media. Whatever I can. If you have connections, please hook me up. You’ll be rewarded and recognized.
  
  
• Get that theme song going. We’re only about 25 orders away from the first post-Quill milestone, which means I have work to do. I hope I’ll have a preview for you guys very shortly.
  
  
• Ten million other tiny things that wouldn’t make for an interesting newsletter or are just too secretive to share.

Cool, I guess. Now what?
It’s time to reassemble our mega-crew and blast this book through space and time. Also, if you have a way to control time, let me know. I think it could be useful.

Your Cut-Throat Crafty Space Captain,

Good morning!! As I promised, here is the first piece of the painting! The subsequent pieces will be revealed every 25 pre-orders from here on out :) And thanks to all of you I’m currently in 3rd place in the contest! I want to ride this momentum and push myself to write even harder this weekend :)

Two updates in the same day? Indeed! I have fabulous news! Jump the Gun is the June syndicate pick for Write Out Loud and I couldn’t be happier or more proud of that.

We also hit a little milestone on the long way to publishing: 50 copies sold!

I want to take the time to thank a few people who’ve helped get me to this point: first and always, RH Webster, who has been invaluable in keeping my spirit up, Ricardo Henriquez, who threw the entire weight of his syndicate behind this story, James Rasile, Joni Dee, Elayna Mae Darcy, and of course every single one of you who’s put their trust in me by pre-ordering this fantastic adventure.

I’d also like to put the link to Dakota’s beautiful art here again so you can access it right from your email: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n2uyb2n4bm9mpdn/Suaine-comm.jpg?dl=0

If you haven’t pre-ordered, now’s the time. Also, make your friends, family and pets buy the book, too. I’m going to announce a raffle for referrers sometime next week and it will be a culinary delight.

Helllo everyone!! Soo... first off thank you for pre-ordering a copy of Are You Sure You Want to Quit? I want to not only show that dragons are awesome and cool in video games but also that gamer girls can kick ass too ;) 

Without further ado, I’d like to announce that they’ll be a digital painting available for everyone who pre-orders (yay!!!). The first piece of the painting will be revealed at 50 pre-orders and a new piece revealed every 25 pre-orders after that! Keep spreading the word about my story :)

I am currently working hard and writing away with my friend Chuu-Totoro here :) 

Have a good day!!

Best,

Alisa
