10/21/20 Update, TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Kickstarter.

It’s been a good two days, so far: TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION has funded, and has hit its first stretch goal! Each pledge at $10 or higher will also receive a digital short story sampler of three additional stories. It’ll increase to a maximum of six, which will undoubtedly become the core of the next short story collection.

I also guessed right, alas: I suspected that the first Kickstarter had a pent-up head of steam behind it which would not be present here, and I was correct. But that’s not really a problem. I designed this Kickstarter to let me recoup my expenses in bringing this book to print, and it’s already working. Spend money to make money, and all that.

That being said: feel free to pass the link around. I wouldn’t mind at all if this Kickstarter hit ten grand. I have a plan if it does, too.

The TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Kickstarter funded!

Thanks, folks! TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION even funded in half a day, which is real nice. I had it pegged for a couple of days, based on the fully expected comparatively lower interest in this project. But what do I know, huh?

The stretch goals are already up: at this stage I’m merely offering another short story sampler. Three stories, at least one original, with three more potentially available at higher goals. Will one of them be another standalone Tom Vargas story? Maybe.

Again, thanks!

The TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Kickstarter is live.

BEHOLD! The second book of the FERMI RESOLUTION future history! TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION, Volume 1: SHADOW OF THE TOWER combines Patreon-published stories set in the Fermi Resolution fantasy setting (six of which were collected previously in a Kickstarter-exclusive sampler), and several new ones written specifically for this volume. It’s an epic span of stories, stretching across the continent. Humor, adventure, action, and defiance… for looming above all these stories is the cruel and vindictive mage-empire known as the Universal Dominion. All of these tales are told… in the shadow of the Tower.  

Two more days until the TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Kickstarter!

And am I worried? Pshaw! And tut-tut! And a bunch of other nonsense words! I will say that I’ve been needing to regulate my expectations a bit, here: TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol 1 is, when all is said and done, not my first novel. I have to expect that this Kickstarter may go significantly differently than the last one. I need to do it, because I need to get a backlist up and available and crowdfunding is the best way to do it; but one of my hopes here is to generate enough funds so that I don’t have to Kickstart the next one.

But that’s a consideration for a later date. The important thing is to get this one off the ground. It starts up Tuesday! Hope to see you there.

Four days until the TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol 1 Kickstarter!

Starting next Tuesday. For those unaware, TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol 1: THE SHADOW OF THE TOWER is a collection of short stories set in the same universe as my first novel FROZEN DREAMS. It is not a sequel to FROZEN DREAMS, although there is an original Shamus Tom Vargas prequel in it. Come to think of it; I believe that story hasn’t actually been published on Patreon yet, so people who back the project will get that and at least one more original story before anybody else does.

You can sign up for notifications for the Kickstarter here, and join my mailing list here. You could also tell everybody you know about those links! It’d be awesome, really.

The TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol 1 Kickstarter begins in six days!

If you’re interested in passing that information around, you can tell folks to sign up for launch notifications here, or the mailing list here. I’m trying to hit a target of 35 Kickstarter followers for this project, and every little bit helps. For that matter, if you know somebody who needs a distraction feel free to send ’em this link to FROZEN DREAMS. Because, really, every little bit helps.

Reviewing edits, TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol 1.

First story’s back from the editor; gratifyingly, it had a reasonable lack of the editing oopsies I kept making when I was writing FROZEN DREAMS. Editing going on, artwork back from the artist… at this rate, I’m going to start believing that I have another book in the process of being published. Geez.

Kickstarter starts on 10/20/2020. Sign up here for the launch notification.

The TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol 1 Kickstarter launches in a week!

Sign up here to be notified of the TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol 1 launch. I’ve been fiddling with the rewards tier and the stretch goals; I’ve got a blue-sky stretch goal that I don’t really expect to hit, but if I do then it’ll simplify next year considerably. I like Kickstarter, but I don’t want to over-use it or even rely on it too recklessly. The sooner I don’t need it, the better for everybody, right?

PS: Spreadsheets. Not a ridiculous number of them, but whoever first told me there would be no math in a writing career was a filthy, filthy liar.

The book cover for TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION continues apace.

I think it’s going to come out real nice.

The artist is Chris Hazelton (who I know from 6 Gun Mage, but he’s more well known for Misfile). It was a little more ‘modern’ post-apocalyptic than I had actually imagined, but we’re going to go with it. As a matter of symbolism it works extremely well with the theme of the anthology. And I wish I had thought of the Seattle Needle bit. I’m totally stealing that.
