2nd Kickstarter Launched!
I just wanted to let you know that I launched the Kickstarter for the second trilogy today. It's called Shotguns & Sorcery, and it's a noir fantasy setting, a cross between The Lord of the Rings and The Maltese Falcon. You can see all about it on its own brand-new Kickstarter page.
This project is just as much fun as the Brave New World books but in a different way. To give you a taste, I've posted a story in the world for free. (Use the DriveThruFiction link there, if you want the free version today, by the way. The entire Smashwords site has been down all day.)
In Brave New World news, I have outlines for Book 2 and 3 complete, and I'm starting work on Book 2 soon. I'm hoping to have Book 1 edited and ready early next month. To whet your appetite, I have an exclusive preview of the cover for you that I'm attaching here.
Meanwhile, the Shotguns & Sorcery Kickstarter runs from now through March 11. Hope you can join me over there too. Thanks!
