Two Days To Go

We're almost at the end of the project and I am so excited. Yesterday, after a whirlwind editing push, I submitted the story to the editors. 3-4 weeks from now I will have it back from them and we'll be one step closer to finished. We're only $225... (Read More)

Progress Not Perfection

March 15th - via: kickstarter.com
It has been a pretty awesome week and I wanted to shoot out a quick update. First, we are at 108% funded now and that is exciting. We are less than $400 away from hitting the first stretch goal of $2000 and the free STL of Justin. I am going to... (Read More)

A Rollercoaster of Awesome

March 8th - via: kickstarter.com
Man, what a day it was yesterday. I was out of town for the weekend and had been a little out of communication while vacationing with the family. While I was pumping gas for the return trip I saw a post on my facebook from a friend congratulating me.... (Read More)

Progress is Progress

March 2nd - via: kickstarter.com
As of last night, five weeks into the campaign, we are at 81% funded. That means only $280 to go in these last three and a half weeks. I'm confident we can get there and I'm doing my best to promote the campaign everywhere I can think of. If you have... (Read More)

Man, What A Weekend

February 27th - via: kickstarter.com
This weekend I attended Ret-Con in Raleigh, NC. It was my first con in about 15 years so I really did not know what to expect. I was excited when I saw the list of panels and charted out which ones I would be going to. Each of them was very useful... (Read More)

Mini-Goal Reward

February 14th - via: kickstarter.com
Since no one voted on the form for the reward for reaching 66% before week 4 came in, I decided on the form of an update so all could have a look. So without further ado, I present 12  (rough draft) paragraphs of A Murder of Wizards. Justin saw... (Read More)

A New Challenge

February 8th - via: kickstarter.com
I was working on the rewrite last night and as all good writers do, I let my mind wander a little bit. I was trying to think of something fun to act as a motivation for this week and I think I have a little something. We are past the 50% mark for... (Read More)

Two-Weeks In And Still Going Strong

February 7th - via: kickstarter.com
What a week it has been. After a strong start last week we seemed to hit a lull, but at the last moment we got a bit of a revival and so we are up 55% funded. Slipping over the halfway point was a great way to end the week. With six weeks to go, I am... (Read More)

Wow! What a week!

January 31st - via: kickstarter.com
What an exciting week it has been. In the first week, the project has been 44% funded and I could not be happier. Well okay, it could be fully funded by now, but there is a reason I didn’t set the project length at seven days. All the same, I’m... (Read More)
