I was half-tempted to not deal with the BS that might revolve around picking Natasha Tynes’ They Called Me Wyatt, but to heck with it. It’s a good book so far and everything else I’m reading this week is an eARC anyway. So check it out.

What did I do today, anyway? Not much, I think:
- Watched the Kickstarter end (5.2K, which is flat-out AMAZING).
- Got Backerkit set up and ready for the end of the two week pause they suggested I take before I send out surveys.
- Got another chapter back from the editor, which I will have to add to the pile of get-it-done-tonight.
- Collated and rough-drafted about half of the GUMSHOE character creation rules that I’m going to need for the supplement.
…OK, I guess I did some stuff. But mostly I kind of crashed. That was a long month, folks. Fun, but long.
It’s done.
The monthly April Patreon items are up.
A little bit of schedule-squeezing to make deadline, but that’s OK. It’s good practice for me. As for the entries:
- Chapter 4 of As the Golden Emperor Lies Dying. This broadly looks at how to go mad with SCIENCE! in Carcosa.
- And REX FANG-BLADE AND THE RAID ON THE SLAVER CAMP. It’s a self-contained story. And the middle of a triptych. Whether it, the previous story, and the next one make the skeleton of a novel someday will depend on how much time I have to write it.
Likely the last blurb for the FROZEN DREAMS Kickstarter.
Short version: the Kickstarter’s going great, and I have an artist for the roleplaying game campaign supplement! Ben Fleuter: he writes and draws Sword Interval, and he’s really good (he also has a Patreon). Thanks to my awesome readers, I can afford really good.
I also have a couple of chapters of edits to go through, so that’s going well. At this rate… things are moving all, really. I gotta lot of work to do still, but they’re moving along. Thanks, folks.
04/29/2020 Book Report, FROZEN DREAMS Kickstarter.
I have very generous readers who I frankly do not particularly deserve. I do not know why it is difficult for me to accept that, but it is. Perhaps I am afraid that it will make me arrogant. I am prone to arrogance. This is a known thing.
But, again: I have very generous readers. Thank you all for sticking around, both here and on Patreon. And, obviously, on the Kickstarter, which – as you may have guessed – is doing quite spectacularly well.

PS: Posting’s going to be a little weird until Friday. Shocking, huh?
04/28/2020 Book Report, FROZEN DREAMS Kickstarter.
Bit of a busy day in real life (kid’s birthday), but it looks like we’re going to maybe really get that audiobook stretch goal. Tomorrow is the 48 hour mark, and there’s traditionally a boost then. How much of a boost? Danged if I know.
Also started talking to somebody about art for the RPG supplement. I haven’t locked that down yet, so I won’t say more. Let’s just say you probably won’t be surprised at who I’m trying to get for the RPG.
04/28/2020 FINAL Snippet, REX FANG-BLADE AND THE RAID ON THE SLAVER CAMP.
He originally shot the sumbitch in the belly. But that would be against the Code of the West.
Tweet of the Day, O Happy Day edition.
This sounds like marvelous news. Admittedly, the miniseries that the BBC is doing of The Watch sounds like it might start riots when it comes out, but that deal was made a few years before this one and GOOD OMENS was awesome. More of the latter, please.
Three more days on the FROZEN DREAMS Kickstarter!
I put up a bunch of tiers for it, mostly involving my aching back. It all ends Friday morning. Well, the fun parts, like making money. The rest of the work starts then. Fortunately, the first stage is simple enough: finish the edits, get the e-book formatted, publish on Amazon…
