We’re only a month away.
One month and the book you power-wished into being will be released onto an unsuspecting public. Rumors are spreading that the books are back from the printer and will soon be making their way into your hands. You’ll get to read it first, and a month from now it will be out in the wild, impossible to reclaim. I have become a pulsing anxiety-cluster.
Let us focus on something more crucial. A party.
Asteroid Made of Dragons Launch Party
Avid Bookshop - Athens, GA - April 5th.
I adore Avid - this is my home bookshop, and I defy you to find a better. They are clever, courteous, cultured, and cute.
If you can come you should come. No excuses. Book the flights, project yourself through the medium of the astral plane, piggyback on a passing underwear salesman. Get here. You have a month to figure it out. There will be music. There will be me in a wizard cape. There will be a 17 act play I’ve entitled ’Hubris Poignant: A Portrait of the Writer as a Nuclear Firestorm’. We’ll go out for drinks afterwards. Then I’ll tell you what I really think about Lev Grossman and The Magicians. I’ll only have a few hours to spare before the Rich and Famous Bus arrives with my Genre Authority Shoes and Internet Sage Scepter, so enjoy these fleeting moments of my mortality before I ascend into something quite akin to a small, mewling god-baby.
I mean, how could you miss all that?
Dear Readers,
This is just a brief mid-week update for you. As for the Nerdist Space Opera contest, Lucky is still hanging on in the Top Ten on the leaderboard. We have about 14 days left, so I would love to see a lot more orders coming in. Even if we miss the mark with the contest, we’re over halfway to Quill (250 copies and a light publishing deal). Now is not the time to fall asleep on this project!
I’m doing some basic edits on Chapter 5 so I can upload it either tomorrow or Friday of this week! I have seen such positive feedback from the other four chapters already on the Inkshares page that I want to share a little more with you all. Stay tuned!
Let’s also connect and share via social media! I’m @RH_Webster on Twitter and RHWebster.ScienceFiction on Facebook (www.facebook.com/RHWebster.ScienceFiction).
As always, my readers and supporters are the only people who are making this campaign possible! I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
- Webster
Just a positive thought for today.
Keep dreaming, fellow authors.
That is all.
