SO MUCH NEWS, SPACE CREW. 

First, About That Little Green Bar! 
Thanks to the amazing crew at Inkshares, and some fellow authors who were more than helpful explaining things to me that I initially derped over, this campaign has been extended to September 5!

 

I now have all summer to stress and fidget over this, but also to come up with some new marketing strategies. If you’re good at that sort of thing, please get in touch. I’m relying on my Crew to get this book fully-funded. 

Second, About Orders Placed TODAY
Given the devastating fire happening right now in Fort MacMurray, Alberta, I’m matching orders today with donations to the Canadian Red Cross. If you were thinking about picking up extra copies, you can support two causes in one go by ordering before midnight EST tonight. 



Third—Free Comic Book Day is Coming!
And the comic is nearly complete. Here’s the first page in full colour. I’ll be sending out the link to you guys between Friday night and Saturday to view the whole thing. 
 

Fourth, This Month is Mental Health Awareness Month. 
While I think we should talk about it all the time, it’s great that we spend this month in recognition, and get to hear voices we wouldn’t normally hear talking about their experiences.

I plan to share some of my mental health story on my blog in the near future, but I’d also like to hear from you. If you’d like a chance to share your story, please let me know, and I’ll reserve a section in a future newsletter for you, because we’re a Crew that supports one another. 

With that said, I’d like to wish you all a happy Star Wars day!

Your Significantly De-Stressed Space Captain from Space Canada,
-AC

      It’s crunch time, people. We are less than two weeks out from the end of the Geek & Sundry hard science fiction competition. Yes, we are in the lead. But there are no guarantees. Though my wife insists I stop hustling and giving all of my free time to this publishing contest before my daughters forget their daddy’s name, I can’t sleep properly until I see my dream of publishing this book come true. It’s not crunch time, it’s Captain Crunch time.

      Saleem Dar, a fan of the book has provided this killer puppet rap for The Punch Escrow:

      Share it with your friends, tell them if they pre-order the book I’ll buy them lunch. Yes: It’s THE LUNCH ESCROW. What a great idea for a promo Tal’s sleep deprived 12:34am mind! Let’s run with that. On top of all of our other giveaways and raffles, I am announcing the ultimate giant raffle: One lucky (for some definition of that word) winner will be taken out to lunch by me. I might come to you or bring you to me. We will *not* be teleporting. It will be an epic lunch. We will not eat bugs, which are the primary protein source for people in in the 25th century (turns out soylent green was just beetles). It will be awesome and delicious, and anyone who’s pre-ordered a book gets an entry. You get a second entry when someone you refer pre-orders a book.

      Oh, and the winner of last week’s shirt and a mug raffle is... Erik Ebert! Erik, I’ll be in touch at the end of the campaign to sort out shipping logistics. There’s another raffle this week, keep those pre-orders and referrals coming!

      Last thing:

      I haven’t really been using this to promote other books, but there’s one I think  you guys should really check out. It’s called Lucky by RH Webster, and from what I’ve read so far it feels like this generation’s The Last Starfighter. I like it not only because of that, but because the protagonist is a girl, and it’s seeming like the kind of story I’d really want my daughters to get into.

        HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY TO AGELESS!

          

        Today, with the help of Alicia Smock, I put an EXCLUSIVE short story "sidequel", called "Selfless" on Examiner.com. They decided to FEATURE it on their Arts & Entertainment page! Go read it.

        REMINDER - I am taking over Inshares Twitter TONIGHT at 7pm EST/4pm PST.

        Here’s how it works:

        • Get on Twitter.
        • Ask Me Anything you want using the hashtag #AgelessByPaulInman so I can find the question.
        • I’ll answer as many questions as I can in the hour time frame.
        • We all rejoice, and most likely have ice cream/cake or ice cream cake (if you’re fancy)

        REVIEWS ARE IMPORTANT  (We have 16 as of right now) 

        I am hoping to get more on Amazon’s Ageless pageso we can get more visibility on the site. You’ll need to give a starred and written review, please - short and sweet is fine (5 stars - I loved it.)

        Then copy and paste your review onto GoodreadsAgeless page! It only takes a second and it could change my life.

        LAUNCH PARTY SATURDAY!


        DragonCon is a yearly event in Atlanta and this year for their 30th anniversary they’ve decided to create their own awards for SciFi and Fantasy called, what else, The Dragon Awards! If you enjoyed Ageless consider nominating me for an award. (Alternate History or Military SciFi would be the categories most like Ageless, yeah it’s hard to categorize).

        Thanks for everything! I now must go and celebrate!!
