Down to the wire on this project, and I appreciate all the support we’ve been getting here. So, to reward you for helping spread the news and contributing to the project, I’m posting another snippet from For a Few Gold Pieces More, this time from the sixth story, “Pearls of Water”.

As I’ve said, I wanted to introduce people to folktales and fairy ( Read more... )

And Update #7 has just been posted to the For a Few Gold Pieces More page over at Kickstarter. Since I talked about how Shane Braithwaite and I put together the Yuki poster, I thought I’d give people a sneak preview of the rest of the art Shane’s going to be doing for this collection.

Here’s a couple of the thumbnail descriptions I’ve given him ( Read more... )

Just posted a new update on the For a Few Gold Pieces More Kickstarter page. I discuss how Shane Braithwaite and I conspire to put together the artwork for this project. It’s really frightening how in sync we are on the art. He was able to take a description of no more than a few lines and turn it into this sketch:

Officially recovering from MystiCon 2016. It was a whirlwind of a convention and came and went in a blur. It was fantastic catching up with so many friends and acquaintances and getting to meet several new people who I’d enjoy hanging out with in the future. It seemed like I was constantly running from panel to conversation with someone to another ( Read more... )

You all seemed to enjoy the snippet from Skin the Cat, so I thought I’d follow it up with a short cut from the ( Read more... )

And a very nice Q&A about this Kickstarter has just been published on the blog at Black Gate.

And since confession is good for the soul, I will admit, I’ve done some writing for Black Gate (in fact, I owe him a column on world building which I will try to finish as soon as possible). Still, I have to thank John for helping to spread the word about ( Read more... )

After an exciting day at work building Powerpoint slides, what better way is there to relax than to start working on improving the For A Few Gold Pieces More Kickstarter page.

We’ve just posted the first two stretch goals for this project and given you hints to other stretch goals to go. Now, it may seem a bit early to post stretch goals while we’ ( Read more... )

Working with some very interesting people to bring you some cool stretch goals for the For a Few Gold Pieces More Kickstarter. Hope to start posting some of them in the very near future.

However, to tide you over, I’ve posted a small snippet from “Skin the Cat” - For a Few Gold Pieces More #9.

A young woman, perhaps fifteen or sixteen, stood before ( Read more... )

Home from Farpoint 2016. Had a great time visiting with old friends and making new ones. It’s always fun to catch up and swap some new stories and think about old times.

I was on a number of really cool panels this year - Publishing on a Budget (Hmm, that sounds really familiar), Hero vs. Anti-hero (that also sounds like a certain rogue I know), ( Read more... )

Getting ready to start packing for Farpoint (and doing a little cleaning for our guests who stay with us during Farpoint). Farpoint is a SF/F convention with a heavy dose of Star Trek and other movie or TV related Science Fiction and Fantasy. It’s not as big as Shore Leave, but that gives me a chance to catch up with people I might only have time ( Read more... )
