I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE to complete my new book.

Earlier this, month I solicited your input for ideas on creativity you���d like addressed. This is Book No.2 in the series begun with HATCH! All your ideas were copied and many will be addressed in the new book. (Some are better for future books and blog posts.) Because I���ve chosen, again, to self-publish, there is no publisher���s ���advance��� to subsidize my writing time. I AM NOT ASKING FOR DONATIONS. I am suggesting and requesting ways you can underwrite my living expenses for the next several weeks (through Sept.) while I finish the manuscript. Here are ways you can help me create this new book:

��� Buy autographed copies of HATCH! directly from my online bookstore. (alos has "eHATCH!" and signed copies of my previous (now out-of-print) books. Each copy is signed and personalized to whomever you provide the (first) name for each book��� virtually same price as Amazon���s UNSIGNED copies. Buy THREE, get 3rd book HALF OFF! Buy TEN (for your staff, team, book club) and get a FREE, Skype, Q&A with me! If your first copy of HATCH! was a gift, consider paying it forward. If you enjoyed HATCH!, I suspect you���ve thought of friends and colleagues who would benefit from their own copy.

��� Hire me to deliver a keynote at your upcoming corporate, professional association, or denominational gathering. My daily rate includes a keynote and one or two workshops (no extra peso.) I���m yours for the day. (Additional days are less than 50% of first-day fee.)

��� Bring me in-house for my six-hour ���CURIOSITY TOUR��� workshop on creative team building, brainstorming (that WORKS), and recapturing the creative spirit of every participant.

These can be for events in the near term or next 2-3 years ... and beyond. Let���s talk and schedule something soon to avoid the rush when the new book arrives this Autumn! I promise you can afford me: I have consulted with giant corporations, huge conventions, and tiny churches and colleges.*

��� Host ���The CURIOSITY TOUR��� in your area for your staff, clients, and area businesses. If you are a church or non-profit, you can host this valuable, inspiring, inner-active, all-day event for churches and faith-based groups in your area.

��� Non-profits here in Colorado Springs or Denver, book me to speak in chapel (at your standard fee + lunch!) When I lived in SoCal and World Vision was 15 min away, they brought me in every year for many years for chapel and consulting. (Ditto with Azusa-Pacific University.)

��� Visit my new online shop (Cafe Press): ���McNair���s Adventurers��� Outfitters��� and grab a fun t-shirt, mug, comfy messenger bag, nine different original designs (and scores of products for each). The profit margins are slim on Cafe Press since they make each item when ordered���but every little bit helps.

BASIC FACTS: I need to generate the equivalent of selling 100-150  copies of HATCH! (through my online store) before the end of July, then the same each month in August and September, to cover my living expenses while finishing the new book. Again: I am not asking for donations. 

With more than 2,500 Facebook ���friends���,  and another 1,000 followers between my ���public person��� FB page, HATCH! FB page and Twitter, I believe this is possible. 

As excited as I was about HATCH! ��� I am far more over-the-moon about the new book. It addresses, head-on, the myths that only a few people are ���creative��� and proves that each human life is born with a factory-installed creative spirit. Based on my TEDTalk, Recapturing Your Creative Spirit, the new book will restore readers��� default settings for creativity. Imagine if you could tap your REFRESH key and be awake to the possibilities of being totally you���finally?

---> Please consider being my ���patron��� in this adventure of discovery and inspiration.

One More Thing, if you live in Colorado Springs, I am, as always, available for dinner, most nights a week!

I have visited hundreds of colleges presenting my creativity workshops, speaking in chapel, performing my two one-man plays. Many campuses where small church-affiliated schools. You can make this happen on your campus.
