Help Launch My Novel Into Space & Come Along for the Ride
On 4/20/2024, my next novel, Murder on the Pineapple Express, will be the first book published in space for an extraterrestrial audience.
In addition to the Ebook and Paperback editions sold here on Earth, a special Starbound Edition will be launched into outer space and begin a very, very long journey to the stars.
No pineapples were harmed in the writing of this book, nor in the epic space launch on 4/20/24.
No, we won't be flinging a paperback copy into the vacuum of space (and definitely not a pineapple).
Sending one physical copy would be way too expensive—and if you think about it, not very effective. Just one copy, traveling relatively slow, for Spock, Groot, and the Mandalorian to share?
Probably not a good idea.
Instead, through a partnership with a local radio operator here in Arizona, the digital Starbound Edition of Murder on the Pineapple Express will be broadcast from Earth via radio waves so that it can travel at the speed of light AND cover a much wider spread of the night sky.
Faster speed + wider coverage = the potential for more cosmic readers!
The launch of the Starbound Edition will take place in Arizona, US on 4/20/2024. During my campaign, updates I'll post the details about which operator we end up partnering with, the mission status, and anything else that comes up while we prepare.
After the launch, a special mission page will become available to track the book's progress through our solar system (eventually, the wider galaxy and beyond). Readers, students, and space enthusiasts will be able to check on how far their name has gone, and even share the progress on social media.
The best part about this cosmic adventure is that YOU can come along for the ride!
Pledge any amount on the Kickstarter page to receive 1 ticket aboard the Starbound Edition.
Show your support on Kickstarter to reserve your seat.
No matter which reward you choose, your name will be included in a special "Howdy, Cosmic Neighbors!" section at the back of the Starbound Edition.
I'd love for you to show your support by choosing a reward that includes my new book, but I understand if it doesn't appeal to you. No problemo! I got you covered!
If you'd still like to be part of this historic launch, feel free to donate any amount to my campaign to automatically receive 1 ticket (good for 1 name) aboard the Starbound Edition.
