back in the world of the working writer…

– REDEEMER revisions to agently satisfaction – my bit on “Easy Pickings” (5-7Kish) – propose DRTB anthology idea – prepare for theoretically incoming CEs on RAVEN CALLS – “Don’t Wreck Your Soul” – revise ANGLES to agently commentary – TWO Gary short stories! (3-5K each!) – one extra bonus Walker Papers short story (3-5K) – Nanowrimo – 3 retold fairy tales (12Kish) – maaaaaaaaaaybe some more Old Races stories (30Kish)

Wow.

Wow. Kickstarter says that 70% of projects that are 30% funded in the first 48 hours will succeed. “No Dominion” currently stands at just shy of 150% funded after 48 hours.

Suggestions thus far include send out the novella 2 weeks early to the First 24 Hour Patrons, write a new story about little Ashley Hampton, or a story about the Hollidays. Other suggestions are welcome and will be considered! (Seriously, you guys *rock*. Holy carp, sez I!)

Kickstarter party commencing now!

All right, she said in a burst of nervous excitement, I’m throwing a Kickstarter party starting now. Let’s see if anybody comes. O.O NO DOMINION is up for funding! Recently widowed after nearly fifty years of marriage, Gary Muldoon had given up on adventure. Then shaman Joanne Walker climbed into the back seat of his cab, and since then, Gary has trifled with gods, met mystics, slain zombies and ridden with the Wild Hunt. But now he must leave Joanne’s side to face a battle only he can win. Because…
