So just now, I was playing a video game, half-paying attention to my wife watching Northern Exposure. My phone lit up and I realized that someone else had pledged to the campaign. So I shut down my game to see what was going on. Imagine my shock when... (Read More)

What went into writing Drawn by Light?

May 24th - via: kickstarter.com
This is something that I get asked all the time. How do you put together a story? What's it like in that brain of yours? To answer the last question first: it's scary. Very, very scary. But that's kind of unrelated. Let's start big picture... I've... (Read More)

Is this the end?

May 22nd - via: kickstarter.com
Okay, this may seem like a grim way to start this update, but it's not. A question that may occur to you (as it did to me) is if this project marks the end fof the road for the Legacy of Ink trilogy. Well, the answer is both yes and no at the same... (Read More)

WE HAVE REACHED THE BON JOVI POINT!

May 8th - via: kickstarter.com
As of just a few minutes ago, we reached what I like to call the Bon Jovi point of the campaign. Why? Because we're halfway there. I've made that joke for the past two Kickstarter campaigns. I'm not about to stop doing so now, sorry. That is exciting... (Read More)

Let's Talk about Auriel Zammit

May 6th - via: kickstarter.com
Hey, everyone! Just checking in with everyone after the big May 4th weekend. As of right now, we are sitting at 35% funded. While that means that we're a ways off from hitting the first stretch goal, I just can't help myself anymore. Who is  Auriel... (Read More)

My Most Personal Book Yet

May 3rd - via: kickstarter.com
Hey, everyone! Last night, we reached the 25% point in the campaign! Thank you! But that's not why I'm writing this update. In my past campaigns, I've used these updates to "pull back the curtain," so to speak, about certain parts of the writing... (Read More)

We've passed the $500 mark! But why?

May 1st - via: kickstarter.com
Hey, everyone! First of all, for those of you who have already backed the project, thank you so much! Because of your early commitments, we have already raised a little over $500. That's awesome! I'll admit, I've been glued to my phone, watching for... (Read More)
