Where it will likely stay for a while, given the complexities of filling the various money pools. Basically, this only gets increased after I fund everything else, and it’s tax season.
As always: this can be helped by getting other people to buy my books! Or back my Patreon! Or, hey, buy some merch. I got fridge magnets now.

Slowly but surely, we pull together the money needed to start the process to get an audiobook – a PROPER audiobook – for TINSEL RAIN. I’m not going down the AI route for this one. I respect my readers too much. Frankly, I respect myself too much.
As always, feel free to help with this by buying one of my books! Or try out the FROZEN DREAMS audiobook for yourself. It’s good! Other people have told me that. Some of them didn’t even have ulterior motives to do so.

Although that does come with a caveat: that’s 47% of the first half. The second half might have to involve draining my escrow account, tapping personal money, and even some outright fundraising. Still, having half available up front is enough to start the project. Also: there’s no way I’m going to borrow money to do this project, because I’m not insane.
Still, feel free to tell your friends to buy the audiobook for FROZEN DREAMS. All funds accumulated there go right into the TINSEL RAIN audiobook fund. Every separate bit helps!

I’ve calculated the money I need to bring in every month in order to keep my publishing schedule on track, and this month represents a good enough month that I could take the extra and put it towards an audiobook fund. We are now at 44% to get the audiobook for TINSEL RAIN made! …Well, 44% of the way to the first half. Once I have that, I can figure out where I’m gonna find the second half.
In the meantime, feel free to buy the audiobook for FROZEN DREAMS. That’ll help a lot with this. Besides, Christmas is coming up! And what better gift, than me?

We’re getting there. Slowly but surely, we’re getting there. I should note that I will not be offering an audiobook stretch goal in future Kickstarters; it’s not easy to use crowdfunding to properly recompense the audiobook narrator. We’ll just get the money another way.
Speaking of, all existing audiobook revenue is being used to fund future ones. Encourage your audiobook-loving friends to check out FROZEN DREAMS!

At the moment, we’re fueling it largely with sales of the FROZEN DREAMS audiobook: I’ll be isolating that revenue out and keeping it in escrow. When I have enough, I’ll get an audiobook of TINSEL RAIN made.
Here’s where we stand now.
FROZEN DREAMS, TINSEL RAIN, and TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION (Tom Vargas novella in that one), to be specific. Tom Vargas is my post-apocalyptic, fantasy pulp detective. He’s a lot of fun to write, and I have the next book of his (BANSHEE BEACH) on deck after I finish the new novel.
Anyway… three books, eleven bucks: it’s a damned good deal, frankly. Particularly in these uncertain financial times. People should buy them.
This was the early signup bonus of art, and three Fermi Resolution horror stories (one of which is new!) that should have gone out a while ago. But it’s all done, hee-hee, it’s off to be distributed, ho-ho, all taken care of, YOU HEAR ME! STOP CROUCHING ON MY BEDPOST, YOU DAMNED TENEBROUS HARPY OF UNFULFILLED EXPECTATIONS! IT’S OVER! OVER! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
(pause)
Sorry about that. Anyway, check your email if you Kickstarted TINSEL RAIN early. If it doesn’t go through, or you were supposed to, and didn’t, let me know and I’ll hook you up.
