Tal M. Klein sent an update for The Punch Escrow

I don’t know where the line is, but I’m sure International Transport has crossed it in their latest salvo against me. Using beloved children’s puppet Paco to subvert your children into convincing you to boycott my book. Have you seen it?


They have delivered a strongly worded message via encrypted channels, assuring me that were we to reach 250 individual readers they would "PULL OUT ALL THE STOPS." Well, let’s show them we mean business. When we reach 250 readers I will unlock a new amazing giveaway!

In other news, I’m very pleased that I can now formally inform you that the developmental editor I’m working with to put The Punch Escrow in tip top form is none other than beloved science fiction author Robert Kroese, author of the amazing Mercury Falls series, the Dis series, Schroedinger’s Gat, and the upcoming The Big Sheep! Rob and I met through a mutual friend. He was one of The Punch Escrow’s early beta readers. His feedback as a beta reader was so spot on that I knew that he’d be the perfect developmental editor for the book. When the manuscript was finished, I trepidatiously asked him, and he agreed.

I’m now working on implementing many of Rob’s proposed edits to the manuscript - he’s the perfect editor for me because: He knows quantum physics, he gets hard sci fi and humor, and he lives in Michigan too! I am so excited to be working with him on The Punch Escrow.

Thank you so much for your support! Keep spreading the word, and I’ll keep unlocking cool stuff.

    Perfect advice Tal - may I also add that the personal approach is very important. 
    I learned the hard way. I.E. that if you have list of mates that you used to play basketball with every week for a while, or even guys from uni that you used to be very close with.  If u send a general email you’ll get 0-2 orders.. if u approach each in a personal email, the success ratio is much highe, close to 100% if these are real friends.

    I haven’t reached Quill in ten days, took me a month+ but just a small bit i found out the hard way :)

    thanks for the below Tal!
