As December rolls on, it’s clear I’m not going to be able to write a full dozen novels this year. There are a lot of reasons for that – including some cool things I can’t quite announce right now – but at the moment they mostly involve me wanting to be able to enjoy the upcoming holidays with my kids. …

On Friday, just in time for the end of NaNoWriMo, I finished off Dangerous Games Book 2, tentatively titled How to Cheat. I’ve shipped off first-draft PDFs to my high-end backers, and I’m starting in on Book 3 today. In November, for NaNoWriMo, I wrote over 102,000 words for Dangerous Games Book 1 and Book 2, plus the script for Magic: The Gathering: Path of …

Last night, I had the pleasure of appearing as a guest on HuffPost Live for the first time with host Jacob Soboroff, along with Bill Clerico (of WePay), Eric Mack (of Crowdsourcing.org), and film editor and Kickstarter user Jon Mercer. We had a great discussion centering mostly on how people view and use Kickstarter and whether or not there are going …

Thanks to a recommendation from Bryan Thomas Schmidt (check out his Kickstarter for his Beyond the Sun anthology), I’m going to be a guest on Huffington Post Live tonight at 9 PM Eastern. I’ll be chatting with Jacob Soboroff and his other guests about Kickstarter and the challenges crowdfunding presents for both creators and backers. Stop on by and join us …

As the first step in that, I’ve gotten the Brave New World trilogy out the door and placed it with as many different decent online retailers as will have it. You …

Since we’re just about to wrap up the last 12 for ’12 drive this Sunday, I thought it would be a good idea to explain some of my thinking behind it when I started out, and why I wound up using Kickstarter for it. Last year, I had this insane idea to write a dozen novels this year, a plan I …

I don’t just run Kickstarters like my Monster Academy drive, which just cracked $11k last night. I also back them too. In fact, I’ve backed more than a hundred Kickstarters in my time, not all of which funded, for which my bank account is grateful, even if I’m not. Here are a few (all right: several) amazing projects that I’m …

Earlier tonight, the Monster Academy Kickstarter smashed through its funding goal and kept going strong! As I write this, we’re 101% funded, which means I’m going to start writing Monster Academy books this winter! Thanks so much to each and every one of you for your support. It’s been one humbling year, for sure. When I started out with this idea, I had …
