Hey, there’s something coming up that I want to tell you about!
BOOK 19 Kickstarter: 10 Days Left
Somebody (probably Howard) forgot to post this news. You should have seen it three weeks ago. Whoops!
We’re crowdfunding A FUNCTION OF FIREPOWER, and the project closes in just ten days. The cover looks a lot like this:

The bonus story in A FUNCTION OF FIREPOWER is called “Refulgence of Refuge,” and it will fill in some of the blanks surrounding the end of Earth’s raptoroid civilization sixty-six-ish million years ago.
Would you like to see the first page? Of course you would!

Many of the stretch goals have already been unlocked, including some which provide freebies to everyone (not just backers!) Head on over to the Kickstarter page for A FUNCTION OF FIREPOWER, click into the Updates, and get the full-sized mobile and 4k versions of this wallpaper!

I apologize for not posting this sooner. It’s been a busy month, and Long COVID means I’ve dropped more than a few balls, but really, I could have left myself a reminder and gotten this done. Sorry about that!
The Sketching Begins!
Book 18, Mandatory Failure, has arrived from the printer. I’ve signed about 2500 copies, and we’ve begun queueing those up for sketches.

My stamina is not what it used to be. I’m as fast as ever, but I wear out pretty quickly. Slow and steady, then. If you’ve ordered a sketch edition, it’s in one of these boxes stacked against the wall, and it might be waiting there for a while…

I’m also doing sketch cards for some of you. I’ve finished about 200 of those already, and another 270 remain to be done. Those take longer, but I can work on them from my zero-gravity recliner, which lets me work for much longer stretches.
How long will you be waiting for your sketched book? I do not know! One thing that I learned in 2024 is that I need to recalibrate my estimates. I promise you this, though: I’ll work on these every day, and I’ll pace myself carefully.
Dragonsteel Nexus This Week!
Sandra and I will be at DragonSteel Nexus this week, signing, sketching, and saying hello from our booth in the Exhibitors Hall.

For daily updates, you can follow us on BlueSky – howardtayler and sandratayler respectively. We’ll post pictures!
