Hey. What’s up? You’re looking good today.
Monkey Business is up to 45 Amazon reviews, which is awesome! I have you fine folks to thank for that. Unless you haven’t left a review in which case I just happen to have this handy little link right here:
Also you can buy the ebook everywhere for $0.99 right now so please invite, beg, threaten and cajole your friends and loved ones to buy a copy.
Thank you! Hugs and Kisses,

P.S. Sorry no fancy graphic today #sadface
Just a quick update to let you all know that I am still working quite hard on Mr. Butler. I enrolled in Camp NaNoWriMo for July and set a goal of writing 70,000 words for the book in 31 days...and I did it in 30:
All 70,024 (and counting!) words were written for Butler. Every day I’m working to make this the best damn book I can make it.
Just thought you, my wonderful investors, my support system, and most importantly, my friends, should know that I am giving this project every single spare moment I have. I’m still aiming for a September manuscript submission. I will keep you updated!
Thanks for hanging in there!
Love to all.
-Michael.
Hi everyone!
Firstly, a huge thank you for choosing to support me and “First on Mars.” I cannot thank you enough for ordering a copy (or even several copies!) and I hope you realize how much it means to me. Before I started, I wasn’t sure that anyone would like what I have to write, but I have been blown away by the amount of positive feedback and support I’m getting. Thank you!
It’s people like you that make it all possible. What is a book without readers?
I’m sending this out to you all to ask for one more thing so that this book can actually be edited and published and become something more…
Please join me this Thursday, August 4th for “First on Mars Share-a-thon.” I’m going to post and tweet a message about “First on Mars” and then I’m asking you to retweet it, share it on facebook, recommend it on goodreads, and/or to your local reading club. If every one of you do this, I will be virtually guaranteed to reach Quill and you will get the best possible version of this book in your hands (or computer/Kindle)!
Remember, here’s what supporters of “First on Mars” get:
There are only 33 days left in the funding campaign, so please help. Thanks!

Despite all of my emails, facebook posts, tweets, videos, and posting of fliers around town, very few people have actually even heard of “First on Mars.” If you doubt me, here are some video view numbers:
This means more people have actually pre-ordered than have watched the latest book trailer (which is slightly longer than one minute).

Thanks!
Hendrix is still doing his bit to raise awareness for SQUIDS IN. Not only did he hang out in Times Square at stupid o’clock in the morning the other day, he managed to get a few of his minions a free ride on some Porsche Carrera Cup racing cars.
It’s becoming very apparent that Hendrix and I will not manage our target of 250 pre-orders alone. If you know anyone who has a rude sense of humor, please point them to the sample SQUIDS IN chapters. Thanks!

I’m just going to open with the final cover for The Seventh Age:
I want to thank all of you, the people who have supported me, in helping pick directions, refine options and taking the time to vote.
Ashley Marie Witter, the Illustrator, who crammed me into her intensely busy schedule of Squarriors. You can check out more of her artwork and rabid apocalyptic rodents by clicking HERE.
Scott over at Cyantype Covers. They did a fantastic job making different options and helping pull everything together for the final version you see today. My finest metal (\m/ >;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;. salute goes to the work that they have done.
Lastly, to Emily, Avalon, and everyone at the joint Girl Friday / Inkshares production team for helping take the very nebulous concept of a cover into something this badass.
My sincerest thank you to everyone involved,
~Rick Heinz.
