Are you ready to party?
The launch party for Invention Is a Mother is coming up this Wednesday, at 3PM EDT on Zoom!
May 25 is Towel Day, as if you needed reminding! Towel Day is a celebration of Douglas Adams, who wrote Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
In honor of Towel Day, we’ll be having a BYOT (Bring Your Own Towel) Contest. May the best towel win!
Be the hoopiest frood on the block with a super exclusive embroidered kitchen towel, the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have! It features the logo of a restaurant from the novel—many of our merch offerings are designed with ridiculous fictional brands that appear in the book. Available only on Towel Day! We'll post an update on Wednesday to reveal the design!
Hitchhikers, or Invention? HHGTTG, or IIaM? Douglas Adams, or Rob Brownell? We'll play a Jeopardy style game to guess where the quote came from!
Anyone who makes a donation to Team Gleason or preorders INVENTION IS A MOTHER on Kickstarter during the party will be publicly and loudly flogged with acknowledgement and gratitude!
You’ll also have the opportunity to win a digital advance reader copy of the book—read it before anyone else!
Join us for an afternoon of fun, towels, and frivolity! Be there or be Marvin!

Stats and Stunts
When Rob sent out that message yesterday telling you I volunteered to film myself doing an embarrassing stunt if you guys helped us reach 200% on both fundraisers, I figured I wouldn't have to worry about it for a few weeks yet.
But guys!
As of right now, we're at 223% on the preorder campaign and 184% on the Team Gleason fundraiser! That embarrassing stunt is coming up much faster than I anticipated. Do you have any creative ideas for what I should do? Let us know!
