BPG Swag y'alls!

Updates: I'm not going to do the giveaway until next week.  I'll post the rules as well as a video explaining the whole thing.

I am not doing an IndyGoGo for Geek Galaxy.  I got too ambitious with what I wanted to have made before the campaign and... none of it got made.  So, I guess I need to aim lower, at least for now.

The good news is I've created the designs for some of the swag.  The bad news is I'm not sure how I'm going to pay for the amount I need for the con.  You don't want to hear about that.  So designs!

I've created designs for License Plates:

This first one is for fans of the series.  It's simple and uncluttered.

This is uncomplicated and gives fans of the series something to flaunt.  Jealous?

This next one is for me and my ilk.  This is for advertising purposes.

This has the quote from The Book Sisters review as well as their star rating, the website incorporated into the title and a QR code for scanning.  The QR code leads to the amazon page of instant purchasing, not the website.

I like the advertising one, so I'll have this on sale at Geek Galaxy, but in lesser numbers.  I made these from the image that Covers by AEP created for me.

This is the first t-shirt image.  It's just the comic image with titles added.  It's simple, but I think it'll make a nice shirt.

If you want this on your body, I can help you with that... I mean... no, I'm sticking with that.

This is for the white shirts, but I'll make sure when the black shirts are made, I have a handful of these on hand.  The main black shirt design will just be the textless logo on a black cotton shirt.

I think that image is subtle, but effective.  

If you can't make it to Geek Galaxy some of the merch, email me at thebulletproofghost@gmail.com and we'll work something out until I can get a store up and going on the website.

That's all I have at the moment.  I'm going to get some button pins ordered.  My dad has a sublimation machine, so some of this can be done this weekend.  Keep an eye on the instagram (link above) to keep up on all of the pics related to BPG.

Also if you haven't picked up your copy of BPG:Prototypes... well here.  Put up a review as soon as you read it.  I need all of the feedback I can get.  I'm writing the next book in the series, The BulletProof Ghost: In Spades, as I type... that's not right... anyway.  Check out the website as well www.thebulletproofghost.com.  The updates from that blog go straight to the website now. 

 Thanks for the support and stay tuned.

Updates: BPG: In Spades, Geek Galaxy and Feedback on Prototypes

So, the link on the right for the physical copy has been converted into the Amazon version.  I've given several  copies of Prototypes away to friends, family and co-workers.  The feedback has been really positive.  One of my friends said he didn't know what to expect, but not what was happening in the first chunk of the book.  I guess he expected a normal super hero origin, but I tried to buck a lot of those conventions.  Origin stories are normally a little clunky and I wanted to avoid that.

I'm trying to figure out the marketing side of the self publishing biz, but I'm still stabbing in the dark without the funds I need.  I may end up doing an IndyGoGo in order to afford Geek Galaxy.  I also need more reviews for Amazon.  In order to use the newletter-type promotions, I need more reviews with a 4 star or higher average rating.  BPG Prototypes is at 3.8 due to a goddamned troll giving it a one star rating.

 I suspect it might a some one I knew in college.  His name is Crazy Face, but if you look at his public wishlist it's under the name Davi and it is full of computer and camera equipment.  There is only one person I know/knew that is named David and has those specific interest (he opened up a video service for weddings or something, so that fits even more).  I shouldn't be fretting over this so much, but it's making things hard for me, but I'll overcome.  Haters gonna hate, but it still pisses me off. Once you read the book, please put up review.

*I did get a good 4 star review from a stranger that picked up the book.  This pleases my Kinetic Blade!

The BulletProof Ghost: In Spades is coming along nicely.  I have the Prologue and part of the first chapter finished.  I have a lot of scenes in mind, but I'm tempted to write them out of order.  That's not a good idea... but I may do it anyway.  I'm going to try to complete a preview in the next few weeks, since I don't have to work at my job-job next weekend like I thought I might.

Once the preview is done, I'll post it up on here.  I'm also thinking about making a 2nd Edition of Prototypes with a preview to In Spades in the back.  This would be great for Geek Galaxy.

Speaking of, Geek Galaxy has my profile up.  I'm working on a few swag designs.  I'll have pics up on the twitter and instagram.  I'm looking forward to the convention on November 15 and 16, but being the  only straight up author there is going to be a little awkward.

I'll post more updates as they come.  Thanks for the support so far!
