The Kickstarter is funded! Book 2 is going to print!

The Kickstarter is funded! Book 2 is going to print!

Thanks to some truly amazing generosity, Book 2, The Germhacht Episode, is officially going to print! There are still two days left on the kickstarter, and extra funds put into that are far from meaningless. Should the miraculous double funding occur, there shall be audiobooks, and even if that goal doesn’t remotely occur, having the funds for shipping rewards to backers, covering proof correction fees and shipping costs on getting the books in is really great.

Thank you so much to everybody who has helped make this possible! I am more grateful than I can express to all of you. Look for updates on incoming rewards in the next two weeks. PDFs and info on available originals should be coming out as soon as I’ve recovered from glee and having just driven home 17 hours from Detroit back to Oklahoma. For now, enjoy this weeks chapter, posted below!

Seven Days

Seven Days

I have just seven days left to raise what I need to print Book Two, The Germhacht Episode, in paperback, and right now we’re still a long way from our goal. If you love last minute rescues and pulse pounding finales, this is looking to be one.  If you like the stories and have even $5 and an Amazon account (free to get one!) please consider donating. There are lots of nifty extras. Also, I posted the Blooper Reel from the kickstarter video shoot under backer updates, so go check that out! Here’s the Kickstater page.  The way kickstarter works is, if the funding goal is not met, no payments go through. It’s an all or nothing proposal, and all the money, if raised will be used to cover the kickstarter  and amazon fees (approx. 10% of the funding total) and the cost of the print run (the other 90%).

To make things more fun, I’m also posting extras and taking questions about characters, stories and process over on my tumblr page for the whole week.

I want to keep the stories coming, and keep them free. Now is a great time to help me make that possible, and also the only way yet to get your hands on a paperback of The Germhacht Episode.

Please consider becoming a backer!

The kickstarter to print The Germhacht Episode is live!   Click to make it happen!

Even really tiny donations will make a print run possible.  There are all sorts of nifty rewards up there, so please check it out.

We made the video ourselves this afternoon, and I think I may post the outtakes close to the end of the 30 day kickstarter campaign. There was a lot more in outtakes than in useable content.

I’ll be at New York Comic Con, in the Artist’s Alley this weekend, in booth 06. Please do stop by and say hello! I’d love to meet more of you.

Now appearing on tumblr

Now appearing on tumblr

I have a tumblr account.  I think that’s meant always to be in little letters, not in caps.  Perhaps even tiny letters, like whispering on the internet.  Anyway, I have a tumblr now, as a place to spout off random thoughts, news and piffles without disturbing the flow of the narrative. Ta-dah.  I may even post there.  I’ve done it twice now, just tonight.  An embarrassment of tumblings.  I’ll stop now.

Tembelaka illustrations and other news

Tembelaka illustrations and other news

For the new story, the Tembelaka Voyage, I’ll be doing one illustration per chapter, instead of two, and I intend to make them all in color.  Chapter One’s illustration was done with watercolor, the medium  I’ll most likely be using for all the others.  Click the small image in this week’s post to get a better look at the painting.

In other news, Jessica will be adding a new feature to this site, in the form of essays with thoughts on the craft of writing and on storytelling in general.  Look for the first such essay later this week.
