How The Jinxlets Saved The Space Zoo is here, in coloring book form! It’s a story about two zookeepers, two time-travelers, and a whole lot of Jinxlets. When a star gets sick, it’s up to the Jinxlets to save the day! The young reader may even pick up some xenobiology if he or she isn’t careful. 34 pages, B&W.

Book also contains a message for parents, and psychological checklist.

Get one with a Jinxlet and an adoption kit for a reduced price! The Jinxlet plush sits about 10″ tall and is soft all the way through. The adoption kit features a certificate with a unique name, a letter from Memnon Vanderbeam, and instructions for care and feeding. Ages 3 and up.

ROFLCON II
When: April 30th – May 1st, 2010
Where: The Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Yes! I will be appearing at ROFLCon in late April for my first visit to MIT, and my first panicked visit to a world I barely understand. Thankfully I will be with my trusted cohort David Malki !, alongside whom I will be performing a LIVE edition of our acclaimed comedy podcast Tweet Me Harder at the show!

Also, the Jinxlet coloring books are now directly available from me — I hadn’t realized CreateSpace made you sign up for an account. I have eliminated this barrier! It’s a kid-safe book that’s really not aimed at children, but more like a wink at Starslip readers as to how a kid’s book would have to deal with things like Jupiter exploding and Xxxyyy and the Chronomantic’s bent towards… chrononautical lovemaking. (It’s handled very delicately.)
