September 29th - via: kickstarter.com
...and you've already got a package of goodies coming, add 10.00 for postage. If this is the only reward you'll be receiving in the mail, add 20.00.  Thanks for the note, Palindrome Bob! Best regards, Mike  (Read More)

Shadowheart

September 28th - via: kickstarter.com
In 1993, as ST:TNG was drawing to a close, I wrote a four-issue miniseries called Shadowheart about Klingon honor and intrigue and Worf's human brother, Nikolai, for DC Comics. Steve Erwin, the dynamic Texan artist who drew Deathstroke, furnished the... (Read More)

We seem to have hit a little dead spot here.

September 23rd - via: kickstarter.com
It feels like we haven't had a pledge in months. In reality, it's just a couple of days, I know. But boy... It makes me nervous. I can't help it. And I doubt that'll change no matter how many Kickstarter campaigns I undertake. What can you do about... (Read More)

One of my backers had a good idea...

September 15th - via: kickstarter.com
As he lives on the other side of the globe from me, the cost of shipping paperbacks to him would have been pretty steep--which was why he chose the bundle of e-books I'm offering at $18. He would have liked to name a bystander or place, he said, but... (Read More)

Well, I'm finally on Goodreads...
