Early this morning, we unlocked Book 2 in the Shotguns & Sorcery trilogy. Woo-hoot! Thanks to every one of the backers for making that happen. It’s been a wild ride to this point, and it’s all down to them. From here, it’s a flat-out sprint for Book 3, as the drive ends tonight at just before midnight Central Time. Last …
Last Day! Lower the Goal!
As we roll toward the last day of the Shotguns & Sorcery Kickstarter drive, it seems clear that I set the final goal too high again. I think there may be a lot of reasons for this, and I hope to write a post-mortem about it all once this drive is over. Kickstarter is such a new thing – and writing 12 …
Two Days Left!
The Shotguns & Sorcery Kickstarter is winding down to its final moments. As I write this, we have jut 56 hours to go, and the total stands at just under $7,000. HUGE thanks to everyone who chipped in and helped out. I’m pretty confident we can crack the $8k barrier, which unlocks Book 2. I don’t know if we’ll make …
Shotguns & Sorcery Interview
Over on his Have Dice, Will Travel blog, my pal Keith Baker interviews me about Shotguns & Sorcery. Among his many accomplishments, Keith is the man who created the Eberron setting for Dungeons & Dragons. As he writes in the interview, “When I pitched Eberron, I described it as The Lord of the Rings meets Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Maltese Falcon.” If …
Three Days Left!
At the moment, we have just over 80 hours left until the end of the Shotguns & Sorcery Kickstarter. We crossed the halfway mark – $6,000! – to unlocking all three of the books yesterday, which means 200% of the initial goal! However, that leaves us with $2k to go to unlock Book 2 and $4k after that for Book …
New Kickstarter Benefit!
We’re in this drive’s final days (only 4 days left!), and I want to do everything I can to encourage people to jump on board and back it. To that end, I’m announcing a new benefit I call Respect the Streak. If we manage to unlock all three novels (by cracking $12k in funding), I’ll give free ebook editions of the Brave …
Figuring Kickstarter Rewards
I’ve had a few requests from supporters of my current Shotguns & Sorcery Kickstarter to come up with a way for them to be able to get in on the original 12 for ’12 Kickstarter I ran for the Brave New World novels. On the face of it, that’s a great idea. I’d love to get more people to read the …
Six Days Left!
The second Kickstarter for my 12 for ’12 plan comes to a close this Sunday evening. That gives us only six days to raise the rest of the money needed to unlock the next two books in the Shotguns & Sorcery trilogy. We shattered the goal for the first book in less than 32 hours. After that, the total climbed …
Shotguns & Sorcery Cracks $4k
Over the weekend, the Shotguns & Sorcery drive on Kickstarter cracked $4,000! We took off like a rocket over the first few days and busted through the first goal in less than two days. Now, though, we’re in the middle stretch, during which most Kickstarters settle into a long, slow burn. Usually that all changes in the last week or …
We Did It!
The Shotguns & Sorcery Kickstarter drive already smashed through its first goal of $3,000! Many thanks to all of the backers who chipped in to make that happen. We managed it in just under 32 hours, less than half as long as it took for the first 12 for ’12 Kickstarter drive. So! This means I have another novel to …
