ALIEN Day, April 26 2018, is coming and seeing as everyone else is getting in on the act, it seems fitting to do so myself.  So here is an update on the status on the book I am writing about the 1979 Kenner ALIEN action figure, HIDEOUS PLASTIC – In stores everyone can hear you scream.  Considering it’s ALIEN Day soon, what better way to do do so than with a short 1 minute video.

HIDEOUS PLASTIC – Documenting the Perfect Organism provides you with a peek into the current manuscript and shows off some of its content.

Also coming soon is the opportunity for you to support this bold venture with donations via PayPal or PATREON (Both, if you are so inclined.).  That option will be open to you soon should you find the video enticing enough to support the funding of this Project.

As far as the book itself is concerned, most of the content is locked down and ready to hit the next phase of development.  Nonetheless, a lot of work still needs attention.   I am still chasing up permission to use specific content items intended to appear in the book – and that’s taking some time for people to respond.  As usual.  That’s normal and it does slow the process down a little.  lol.

Aside from that, it’s almost ready to hand over to the Editor very soon for a complete grammatical and US localisation.  (I live in Australia; and while my English is fine, I want the book to be localised/localized for its largest target readership – the US).  There’s also one more visit to my legal advisor as well and that will happen soon.  All this is still yet to take place and we haven’t even gotten anywhere near actual publication.  Just give it time.

So yes, there’s still a ton of work to be done and at this stage but I estimate a late 2018 release.

All the same, keep an eye out for more announcements in the coming days regarding your opportunity to help fund and complete this grand, albeit very strange, venture with a donation via PayPal or continued monthly patronage through PATREON!

Thank you for reading.  HIDEOUS PLASTIC – In stores everyone can hear you scream. is approaching completion and I am looking forward to finally having this book published.
