Hello everyone!

Even when Amazon is convenient they are ANNOYING!

How?

I thought my books would be arriving when I was in TX for work, no problem I told you and everyone else that the latest was likely 2nd week of October.

While I was sick I got an email saying "We finished printing ahead of time and your order will be arriving Tuesday or Wednesday." From the Zon

Why is this an annoyance? Because the patchmaker, Kiwimaille Creations , is multiple states away and now I can only send out the orders that are sticker and books only.

She and I will be working on getting the rest of the orders done ASAP.

Attached is the photo of bubble mailers I got for the books, and proof of shipping update.

On a happier note I have the semi final audiobook chapters 4-6 to listen to and approve.

So that's gonna be fun.

Hello everyone!

Final count from the signed pre orders is in 13/14 order were made.

How much do I have to match? 0$ Why? Because those 13 awesome orders added enough stickers and patches to pay for the books and shipping.

Only sad thing is that the package is due to arrive when I am out of town. So unboxing will have to wait. Thank you all so much!

Hello Everyone!

Hello everyone!

The signed pre-order is going amazing! Here's where we are so far.

Hello everyone,

I have good news, a challenge, and a plan. Explaining in order:

The Galaxy Waffles paperback is now available on Amazon, I am working on other retailers. Link in comments.

Bills and moving the last of our possessions to Reno mean I cannot order author copies, right now.

What's the plan? Pre-orders! Using the link below will do the following: Gives me money directly, gives you a signed copy and 1 sticker, and the option for additional merch.

Questions I thought of, feel free to ask more in the comments.

HOW MANY ORDERS WILL FULLY COVER A PURCHASE FOR 50 COPIES?

14

WHAT IF I DON'T GET 14 ORDERS?

I plan on covering the rest with my paycheck on the 20th.

WHEN CAN YOU EXPECT THEM BY?

Assuming no delays or print errors from Amazon it would be the second of week of October the latest.

IS THIS US ONLY?

Sadly yes. International shipping, even Canada and Mexico, is incredibly expensive and I cannot justify charging over 40$ for a book and sticker just to afford it.

Galaxy Waffles Paperback 1x Signed copy of the paperback book.1x Random Sticker***Please add name and message in notes at checkout***Customized items are not able to be accepted for returns.

It's here. It's real. I am still in shock and joy. Some cosmetic dents but omg it's perfectly imperfect.

Four part story!

Hello everyone!

Galaxy Waffles season 2 is going well.

Divine Counseling writing resumes today.

Oh and no biggie my PROOFS ARE FINALLY FINALLY ORDERED!

New things are being made!

Dear Jason Aldean,

I grew up in Nashville. I’m as Southerner as fried chicken and collard greens. On my Dad’s side, we are from Louisiana and Texas, and Mississippi on my Mother’s side. I was born in Louisiana, raised in Tennessee, and spent much of my adult life in a small town on the Gulf Coast.

What really upsets me about what you have done here is that I know you know better. Unlike Trust Fund Kid from Michigan, you aren’t just cosplaying as a Southerner to sell some yeehaw dream to midwesterners with a hard-on for the “good ol’ days” who buy knock-off Stetsons on Broadway and pronounce Demonbreun Street as Demon-Brewing.

As a near-native son of Nashville, I know exactly what kind of town you were exposed to. One where we learned about how hard the hillbillies from East Tennessee worked to destabilize the Confederacy to win back Tennessee for the Union. I learned about that at age eleven at the Carter House in Franklin, TN, from the tour guide Mr. Cartwright. As a Nashvillian, I’m sure you remember how hard our city fought to keep that ugly private Confederate memorial from being placed on I-65. You know damn well that Nashville is a liberal city in a gerrymandered state that would otherwise be blue.

Instead of telling the truth about our community, you’ve played pretend. Tennesseans fought that anti-drag law and won. We are a community that re-instated our representatives who were unjustly forced out of office. We are fighters, but not like who you described.

Tennessee was the only seceded Southern state not listed on the emancipation proclamation because it had already been under Union control.

Why don’t you write a song about that?

I’m aware it’s not a perfect state; it’s got issues. We’ve got blood on our hands, just like every state in the union, but we’ve tried real hard not to be like what you described in your song. We aren’t going around proudly boasting about our mistakes; we are trying to build a better world together.

You currently live in the big city where I grew up, but I now actually live in a small town just east of the city. I mean, real tiny! Just 1,500 people kinda place. The kind of small town you tried to make sound real, real dangerous, but I’ll tell ya what, it sure ain’t the way you’ve described it.

When I moved back to Tennessee a couple of years ago, I decided to stop by the corner store near my house to introduce myself to the neighbors. The lady working there was very friendly, and a guy was sitting in a rocking chair, going back and forth. It was country as hell, and I loved it.

She starts to whisper in the way that Southern folks do when they are about to spill the sweet tea. She looks back and forth and then says, “Now, there is someone who lives on your street I wanna talk to you about. Now, sometimes, they dress as a man, but other times they dress as a woman…”

I start to get nervous about what she will say next, but I bite my tongue and wait.

“…well, you just better be okay with that. Because they are a nice fella and a sweet lady.”

They were checking me to make sure I wasn’t going to cause any trouble. I told them I was real fine with that, and the lady at the store just nodded. Then, the guy in the rocking chair, who has said nothing the entire time, finally says, “All I’m gonna say about it is, if I had legs like that, I’d wear those shorts too.”

Just as I walk out the door, she says, “And the tavern up the street. It’s owned by two le****ns. It’s not a gay bar, though. I keep reminding people that just because someone owns something don’t make it a gay thing. It’s a for everybody thing. Welcome to the neighborhood!”

You know what I see in small towns in the South, Jason? Chimneys standing where the homes of confederates once stood that the Tennessee Union soldiers burned to the ground as a reminder of what happens when you betray your country and its people.

Anyway, as a q***r liberal Southern man from Nashville, I just wanted to say I know you are lying. You knew exactly what you were doing she. You conflated carjackings with protests. But you aren’t fooling me. Maybe you might convince your fans that you are tough, and you might make a few folks up North think we are all a bunch of backwoods cousin-kissers looking to re-live the 1950s. But you know you’re lying, just like I know you are lying.

Because we are from the same town and it ain’t small, it’s big enough for all kinds of folks. You could have been a Dolly, Garth, Faith, Tim, or even Taylor, but you chose to be a Toby Keith. You sold out to the hate machine and dishonored all of those who have fought and died to make sure Tennessee isn’t like you described.

Anyway, maybe I’ll see you around at Pucketts or Santa’s Bar someday; I’ll be sure to say hello, and perhaps we can talk this out in person with our minds and not our fists. Because that’s how we actually handle things here in Tennessee, with a little bit of Southern hospitality. So I got a sweet tea and a porch with your name on it.

Sincerely, just some small-town boy from Tennessee,

Nathan

Hello everyone!

Quick and quirky reminder I will be making Galaxy Waffles from the story Galaxy Waffles today at 3 PM PST link in comments.

TikTok · Nikolai Wisekal Check out Nikolai Wisekal's video.

Hello everyone,

I'm almost home from my work trip and just typing up my release day newsletter. Taking a small break I check and

Galaxy Waffles now has 3 reviews.

ALL OF THEM 4 STARS!

Ok so everyone talks about 5 stars and yes I absolutely love seeing them but for a debut novel that kind of consistency blows my mind.

Hello everyone!

8 days left...novel town is in sight, so much like the train in back to the future I am picking up speed!

The link is a playlist of all the tiktoks I've done for so far and more are coming.

I am extending this invitation to everyone on Facebook. If you would like me to read a line comment a word and it will be added to this link.

Hello everyone,

9 days. 16 pre-orders to go before we hit 50!

Can we make it? Yes but I can't do it alone!

Sharing, emailing, and reviewing help other readers see and give it the same chance all of you gave it. More updates coming later today.

If you have questions, suggestions, or comments please let me know. I am not new to writing but publishing and marketing are two challenges I am still learning how to overcome.

Hello everyone!

Amazon files are DUN DUN DUN! Thank you Sentinel Graphics team for triple checking.

They also should have the print files ready soon so I'll be ordering proofs ASAP.

Audiobook has 5 chapters being edited/mastered so it is 17% done!

It has also been a while since I've done a team wide shoutout:

Rachel Wisekal - Alpha reader, supporter, and invaluable partner
Melissa Simmons - Vella Editor and great supporter
Kit Gulick - Novel editor who helped me make the story even better
Author Calley Jones - one of my longest vella readers and now an official beta reader for season 2.
https://www.instagram.com/lluisabadias - character artist, fingers crossed he will be back for season 2.

These and many more people kept me writing and believing when I had no words or faith in myself. Thank you so much.

Hello everyone,

We are 11 days away from release!

Two things I am focused on:

1) Helping making Sentinel Graphics job easier to format this thing. Seriously Matt has been awesome for my first novel release.

2) Getting to 50 pre-orders. Why 50? join the Arcane Circuit and check the featured posts. You'll find out all you need.

At the moment we are sitting at 33/50 pre-orders. Can we make it to 50? Yes I believe so, but any shares to groups, people, pages, etc. all help make it happen.

Hello everyone,

Files are being finalized and uploaded.
Audiobook narration production is in full swing.
ARC/Reviewer check in emails are sent
Oh and no big deal but Galaxy Waffles got its first 4 STAR Review!

If you or others love Sci-Fi adventure filled with sass, snark, and relatable eyerolling frustration. Please share the pre-order link below.

https://books2read.com/u/3GWqrP

If you cannot afford the pre-order that is 100% understandable, I do have ARCs and ways to read/review the story please reach out and we will figure something out.

Can confirm this works in Sci-Fi as well usually with explosions, transmissions, alarms that disrupt everything

I literally just deleted a "suddenly" from my current revision scene.
