sorry for the many posts this morning. Ted’s got the next four days off, and I have a metric tonne of Thinks To Do during that time. They include, but are not limited to, the following: – empty compost – wash diaper wraps – oh yes, try to do something about cover art for the ORSSP – print out newsletter book winner addresses – address envelopes & put the books in ’em – send the books – call UPC grrr – make a Kickstarter video (*squinchy face*) – redesign the…

Kickstarter is a go.
Got the all-clear from Kickstarter, so I’m working on setting up the page now. Suddenly seems much more real and nerve-wracking. :) So I’d been thinking of running a 45 day campaign, but KS actually recommends 30 days.

fundamental things

Kickstarter teaser: “Magic Hath an Element”
Okay, so the thing about the upcoming Kickstarter campaign (launching October 1!) is that I really *can’t* use a teaser from the actual story as part of the incentive text, because it starts with a scene from RAVEN CALLS and no way no how am I spoiling that scene. :) So I’ve written the first couple chapters of URBAN SHAMAN from Gary’s point of view for a bit of flavor text as to what kind of voice the novella will be in. Enjoy! “Magic Hath an Element” Three days…
