Hi all!

Quick update. There are only 42 days left in the campaign now for First on Mars. Time is running out, so I’ve decided to make a couple of changes.

Firstly, I’m not going to post any more chapters on Inkshares. Only readers who pre-order are going to get more chapters. I’m so grateful to every person who takes a chance on me and pre-orders and I want to give something back in return.

Secondly, if the funding campaign is successful by Sept. 1st, I’m going to raffle off a copy of The Martian Extended Edition on Blu ray (every pre-order or referral gives you an additional chance):.

Here’s a little teaser: In Chapter 6, the President gives an address to the world, members of the Phoenix crew are split, and an election takes place back on Earth that changes everything.

ONLY 15 MORE ORDERS TO 100 AND CH. 6!

Greetings Jackolytes,

The copyedited manuscript of Sync City has landed! This is fantastic news as it brings Sync City one critical step closer. I now need to gird my loins, park my butt in front of a computer and take on the words of wisdom passed down by the editorial gurus at Girl Friday Productions. It should be a fascinating experience.

Also, for those that missed it, Jack has a new drinking buddy! Destiny Imperfect shrugged off some awesome late competition and clung onto third place in the recent Inkshares/Nerdist contest. This means Destiny will become a fully published reality. Many  Jackolytes have already hitched your carriage to the Destiny train, but if you haven’t, head over to here to check it out. We’d love to have you on board.

Have a good one!

Cheers,

Peter 

18 days of funding left and we seem to be stalled at 162 pre-orders, which is not really close to the 250 required for publication by Inkshares. But I am not going to worry too much about that. My plan is to keep refining the Mission 51 manuscript, which I think is already a riot (of course I would think that, it is my book, LOL) and just keeps getting better all the time! It will get published one way or another when the time is right, and maybe this is just not yet the right time.

So, the other part of Mission 51 refinement relates to the art. Chris Pyke just finished another piece, this one to go with the chapter "Roswell Revisited." Take a look. It is too spectacular for words. Absolutely awesome talent! :D

Readers, Friends, Family, Enemies, Everyone Else,

I have 79 more orders needed to reach the Quill Goal and Guarantee Publication. 

I need ALL your help to do this. If you have not yet ordered, PLEASE do so tonight and support me!

If you have already ordered, thank you again. Please post a link to the book at www.iamwaltz.com to your facebook/twitter/Instagram asking your friends to support.

Once we reach 250 orders we will make a few more big pushes to 750 and get this thing in stores!

Thanks again,

Matt
