Know what would be great? it would be great if Harry Connolly’s epic fantasy Kickstarter funded in its first 24 hours. It’s more than halfway there already and it launched, um, slightly more than two hours ago. :) If you don’t know Harry’s writing, he’s the author of the acclaimed but tragically not best-selling Twenty Palaces urban fantasy novels, as well as the forthcoming pulp novel KING KHAN from Spirit of the Century/Evil Hat. There’s a lot of hyperbole in cover quotes, but when I offered up one for the…

Herein lies a rant.
Look, I don’t know why it is that I get bent out of shape more easily over injustices in comicbookland than in sffland, but I pretty much do.

oh god, the thinks to do

Except in a few cases I can. For example: my long-time friend Ellen Million’s coloring book for so-called-grown-ups Kickstarter is heading into its last week and only needs about another $1K to make 10x…
Dear Brain,
Dear Brain: Please stop suggesting Kickstarters I could do.
