I finished painting the two Chinooks a couple of weeks ago, and have been busy layering stuff behind them for assorted desktop wallpapers and for the promised 8″x10″ print. Absent those layers, this is what the Goddess of Earth, Wind, and Plumbing looks like before and then after her temper-tantrum…
I’d write more about this project, but I have another project to write about, so I’m gonna move on to that update next.
Here’s the Kickstarter link for Mandatory Failure: Schlock Mercenary Book 18.
The project closes this Friday, October 20th, at 5pm Eastern time. I’d love for you to not miss out on it.
If you’ve never purchased a Schlock Mercenary book before, this is a great place to start. Mandatory Failure functions well as a stand-alone story, but it’s also the first book in the capstone trilogy for all of Schlock Mercenary. See, I wrote Books 18, 19, and 20 as a trilogy because that structure helped me keep things focused—no small challenge when wrapping up a story that took me twenty years to write.
Anyway, the Kickstarter… we’ve unlocked some ship coins, and a mission patch, and some desktop wallpapers. If you want any of those (especially the mission patch, which is a Kickstarter Exclusive) you should back the project now, before it closes.
Here’s the link, just in case you scrolled past it…

We’ve launched the Kickstarter for A Little Immortality: Schlock Mercenary Book 17, and it has already funded.
Also, it has already blown past all but one of our original stretch goals, including one that gives everybody (not just backers—everybody) a free desktop wallpaper.
Our plan was to launch it *quietly* on Tuesday, and then announce it here a day later in order to see how our newsletter was performing, but the launch was not quiet, and then things got busy, and now the “a day later” is more than half a day gone.
I’d write more, but everything I want to say is over on the Kickstarter project page, so click that and learn all the things!
We’ve teamed up with TopatoGo to crowdfund a 500-piece puzzle!
The project closes on APRIL 7th, so if you like whimsical worldbuilding, wildly-out-of-proportion animals, and jigsaw puzzles, don’t delay!
