*tiny squeaking sounds of glee*

I have a collaborative project with my long-term writing partner, SL Gray/. Sarah and I have written (quite literally: I counted once) millions of words together, and this particular project has been in the works for, heavens forfend, well over a decade now. It was originally conceived as a TV show, back when we were both living in California (and before, even) and had dreams of breaking into that industry. It took us something like a decade to think of presenting it in a different format. Time, tide and ……

Kickstarting

I tell you what, lads,the NO DOMINION response is really making me want to do something else to share with you guys. This has been wonderful. I mean, realistically, Not Right Now, because I’ve got the Dinocalypse book (you’ve bought in, right? 7 e-books for $10, how can you POSSIBLY go wrong with that?) coming up to write, and the Walker Papers to finish, and a bunch of other stuff, but still!
