It’s been a crazy week. I launched the Dangerous Games drive on Wednesday, and it’s already up over $5k, which is the best start yet, by far. Thanks to everyone that’s pitched in over there! The rest of us have until June 17, Father’s Day, but please don’t put it off until the last second. My poor heart can’t take it. 🙂 Meanwhile, I’ve …
Dangerous Games Is On!
I just launched my latest Kickstarter for my third trilogy in the 12 for ’12 series: Dangerous Games. The pitch goes something like this: Once a year, the greatest tabletop gamers in the world descend upon Indianapolis for Gen Con, the Best Four Days in Gaming, to play games, see friends, and have fun. They play things like D&D, Magic: …

Carpathia Audiobook on Sale
Amazon jumped the June 1 release date and has the audiobook of Carpathia for sale already. This is my first-ever audiobook release, and I cannot wait to hear it.

Marking a Writer’s Pace
This past Sunday the New York Times ran an article by Julie Bosman about how certain genre writers used to write a novel every year but are now being asked to buckle down and write as many as two – or at least some short stories to supplement their annual book. It’s called “In E-Reader Age of Writer’s Cramp, a Book …
The Next Kickstarter: Dangerous Games
I’m in the final stages of planning my next 12 for ’12 Kickstarter. It’s for a trilogy of thrillers set at Gen Con, the largest tabletop games convention in the hemisphere. I call it Dangerous Games. This combines two of my great loves – fiction and games – and just thinking about it gets me excited for it. I’ve been …
The Next Kickstarter
I’m hoping to start my next Kickstarter for the third 12 for ’12 trilogy (a trio of thrillers set in the largest gaming convention in this hemisphere) sometime next week. This schedule is relentless, but I knew that going into it. Despite that, I’m having fun riding the wave so far. I’m thinking about altering the structure of the Kickstarter …
Gaming Hoopla Today
Later today, I’m off to the Gaming Hoopla in Janesville, WI, just up the road from where I live. This is a great little convention that the folks here run twice a year, and the proceeds all go to Relay for Life, the big event for the American Cancer Society. So, you get to do something for a good cause …

I really hoped I wouldn’t have to write this kind of note this year, but here we go. I’m not going to get 12 for ’12 Book 4 (Shotguns & Sorcery Book 1) done by the end of the month, which is today. I had two kids down with a terrible cold this month. They’re good boys – even when …
