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:

Cover design by Howard Tayler. Cover illustration by Garrett Berner.

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!

Structuring Life to Support Creativity

Sandra Tayler, whom you may know as the editor, publisher, project manager, and so much more behind Schlock Mercenary, is crowdfunding a book called STRUCTURING LIFE TO SUPPORT CREATIVITY.

I can personally vouch for the principles and practices presented in this book, but that’s probably kind of obvious. Sandra has worked with many other people and organizations over the last decade, so this book is far, far more than just (!) the life experience of someone who wrangled a single cartoonist into profitability while managing her own career writing children’s books and short stories.

Follow the links above to read more about the project. It has funded, and just yesterday Sandra crossed the “we get to make an audiobook” stretch goal. The project closes in two days, though, so if you want to throw some momentum into it on the home stretch, now’s the time.
