1. Chapter seven of MAGIC & MANNERS is live for Patreon patrons! 2. It is *painfully* obvious that the whole weekly post for the GGK Book Club is not working for me as the, er, team leader. I’m terribly sorry, but I just do not, apparently, have the spoons to do a weekly post. From TIGANA (which is April’s book) onward I’m going to do a monthly post immediately after I finish reading the books, which will probably have no rhyme or reason to it as far as dates are…

mailing list drive
With Facebook’s reach growing ever-smaller, I’ve thought to remind folks that I’ve actually got a mailing list and that it’s the most reliable way to keep up on my projects. No sifting through social media, just a once-a-month (or often less frequent) delivery to your email box to let you know what’s coming up and going on! Easy peasy! Sign up here! :)
Magic & Manners!
Are you a MAGIC & MANNERS Patron patron? Chapter 6 just went live for you!

Head on over, pledge a dollar or a dime, get notified by email when a new chapter is posted! :)

Yes. :) Kathy asks: Now that Walker Papers is wrapped up, what’s next? Will you continue in the same genre or branch out…
patreon development
So I’ve been reading Conan! What is best for Patreon? and Ursula’s blog post & ensuing comments about Patreon, and talking to friends about my Patreon project and thinking about long games and all kinds of things. I’ve been thinking of Patreon too much like Kickstarter, really. Too short-term large-goal oriented, whereas I think the Conan link above probably nails it in terms of it being a slow burn and a long term process, and the comments in Ursula’s post drive home the no-content-produced, no-donation-taken aspect of it to me.…
