Just a few days away from the end of the project, and we're sitting at 330% funded! Thank you all so much. The contest about story setting should've ended today, but I was out of commission all day due to some doctor's appointments that ran long... (Read More)
A question, and an entry. A big one, no less.
March 11th - via: kickstarter.com
This is my first Kickstarter, and while I consider myself to be a reasonably intelligent, and capable fella, I realize that I make mistakes, and overlook things. I'd like to put a question out to the Kickstarter backer-veterans; "On future... (Read More)
Not one, but TWO entries today
March 10th - via: kickstarter.com
Seven days remaining y'all.... Exciting stuff. We hit the $5,200 marker, which unlocks one more entry for you to read before the project wraps. We're now exactly $300 from the next stretch goal, so share the project with friends and family, or groups... (Read More)
Just $20 from unlocking another entry!

Not much to say today, other than... // Entry #9 Attention to detail, Diggs. Short entry today. I went for a walk in the twin downtowns (henceforth know as ‘downtown’ because I’m sick of writing the word ‘twin’ over and over) and scouted... (Read More)
Happy Monday as we enter the final stretch!
March 8th - via: kickstarter.com
Yup. Another Monday is here, like a bad luck boomerang. But, I'm here to hopefully spread some grim cheer with another entry from The Awakening. We've got a mere 8 days left in the project, and two stretch goals remaining. The next goal is about... (Read More)
It's Friday and that means....
March 5th - via: kickstarter.com
It means I'm gonna do another little social media hashtag contest thingy. The winner of the first contest, the one about why you read horror named the gas station in Twin Falls for the book and she gave it a great name that fit the universe. Super... (Read More)
How is everyone doing today? We got an entry, and I've got a question for the squad.
March 4th - via: kickstarter.com
Happy Thursday, #FinchSquad. I've got another unlocked entry from The Awakening to post here for you, but before I do that, I have a question: Which do you prefer, thus far; Diggory's personal entries, or... the Interludes? I'm curious to hear which... (Read More)
Contest winner, podcast follow-up, and the halfway mark.
March 2nd - via: kickstarter.com
Alrighty then. A week or so ago, I asked y'all to take up arms and march out into social media and answer the question, "Why I read horror." A handful of you did just that, braving the dangerous court of public opinion, and community scorn, and one... (Read More)

Happy Monday from Twin Falls, y'all!
March 1st - via: kickstarter.com
We're still picking up backers, and that's amazing considering we have 16 days to go, and I don't know what I'm doing. I know what I'm doing, sometimes, most days. Speaking of which, tonight at 8pm on The Dorkening Podcast Network , I'm a guest to... (Read More)
Another stretch goal for you, and an entry as well. Plus, a podcast appearance!
February 25th - via: kickstarter.com
Man... this is cool. I'll be honest, when I set out to launch this Kickstarter, I thought maybe... just maybe I'd get $2,500, so to hit $5k with 20 or so days to go, feels pretty amazing. Thank you all so, so much. $5k means digital wallpapers!... (Read More)
More progress and another entry.
February 24th - via: kickstarter.com
Writing progress moves forward, despite being sidetracked by the release of my 12th AUD novel. Release day for that was a success by most measures, and now I'm back onto Diggory full-time. We're still sitting just short of the $5k stretch goal, so if... (Read More)
Good gosh almighty, so many updates. BUT NARRATOR!
February 22nd - via: kickstarter.com
I'd say professionally, the split in books sold looks about like this: 5% paperback 40% Kindle 55% Audiobook That means, in order for any title to be worth writing, it has to be worth hiring a quality narrator for. In that endeavor, I present to you... (Read More)
Let's give something away?
February 22nd - via: kickstarter.com
I hope everyone enjoyed the new entry posted earlier today. I thought it might be fun if we did a little contest/giveaway for the Kickstarter this week. Here's what you have to do: Answer this question on either Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, using... (Read More)
Happy Monday everyone. Lots to chat about.
February 22nd - via: kickstarter.com
It's Monday, the 22nd of February, and I'd like to with my friend Mike a happy birthday. He's tired, with a newborn, so everyone send some positive energy (COFFEE) his way, and they'll be just fine. Thanks to a fella named Scotty, we hit $4800 in... (Read More)
Is it Friday already? Stretch goal progress, and another chunk of the story for you.
February 19th - via: kickstarter.com
Alrighty, let's jump right in. Backerkit progress is steady, and almost complete. When the Kickstarter ends, you'll get to check out all the extras you can add and answer all the questions I'll need answered to help you build your location/place or... (Read More)

Entry #2, Stretch Goals, and probably something else I'm forgetting.
February 17th - via: kickstarter.com
The creeping darkness pushes forward, and grows. We're now just a few backers away from 300% funding, and that's is no mean feat. Thank you all so, so much. Stretch goals... HAVE BEEN POSTED! About half of them are retroactively unlocked, and that... (Read More)
Stretch goals chat, and the FIRST ENTRY of The Awakening
February 16th - via: kickstarter.com
Alright, lots to cover here on day two, less than 24 hours in. We're over 200% funded!!!!! I'm pinching myself. I've put together some meaningful and cool stretch goals, and am working on that today. I am hoping to announce them and get them on the... (Read More)
