Update!
And Thanks For the Feedback… I will give the new look a bunch more thought and maybe test something else down the road. But tonight I wanted to remind you of the Special Stretch Goal. If the campaign can reach 125 backers on CASE CARD KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN by Sunday Midnight, April 23rd, we will add in a special stretch goal. (We are at 116 backers as I type this on Friday night, so only nine more backers to go.) If the campaign reaches 125 backers by Sunday Midnight, April 23rd, every backer of any reward at $5 and up will get a free ebook copy of my mystery collection THE…

A Fun Run and Updates
6 AM is Stupidly Early… Especially when you go to bed at 2 AM. It is still dark at 6 AM. And yet off we went to be at a park before 7 on the other side of town for a charity run that honors Prince. Now I did some running early on in the 5K and then just said, “Nope.” Walked the rest of the way. But we had a wonderful breakfast afterward at a restaurant we almost never get to because it is so far from our place. And I got my remaining four hours of sleep after I got home. The Case Card Kickstarter campaign is doing…

My Eyes Are Better
And I Am Catching Up… And writing again, solidly. But my eyes still only give me so much computer time in a day and I spend a lot of it on writing fiction now. So that means I am behind on some things, such as the free workshops on Kickstarters. But I am catching up. Allyson, Gwyneth, Josh, and the rest of WMG Publishing never miss a deadline, If they say a book will be shipping in February, it was shipped in February. They are fulfilling the final hardbacks from the Fantasies Collide and Diving Kickstarters. And all book stretch goal rewards and other rewards have been sent out from…

All Starter Kit Rewards Going Out… Tomorrow (Wednesday). If you do not have everything by Thursday and you have checked your spam filter (a lot of links in some of these rewards), then contact WMG or me and I will put you in contact with WMG Publishing to help you out.

Kickstarter will fire up at noon on Thursday. And with it is a brand new Cold Poker Gang Collection called ACTION. ACTION collection will…

Last Day for Starter Kit Kickstarter
We Said It Would Be Short… Very short in fact. It ends today (Thursday at 7 pm West Coast Time.) You can see it at DEAN WESLEY SMITH Starter Kit. All kinds of my books, some great special workshops coming back from other Kickstarters (You get a choice if you missed one before), and some fun stretch rewards of stories from other series besides the ten in the Starter Kit. And take a look at the branding. We are pretty good at it. This was only ten days for this one and now down to the last day (hours, actually). Don’t miss it. It has been a fun small campaign.

Kickstarter Campaign
Only Six Days Left! Yup, we did this small campaign and set it for just nine days. As many of you know, we did two medium-sized campaigns in January and February, and we had to push back another medium-sized campaign for a scheduling reason. And we had always wanted to try a small campaign, and this one seemed perfect for a short turn in the mix. Since because of my eye issues (90% cleared) I have not finished a new book in the last four months, and almost no one knows about all my writing in the first place. So we figured a small campaign like this would at least…

Workshops in Kickstarter
FIVE SPECIALS… They were from earlier Kickstarters and have not been for sale and never will be outside a kickstarter campaign. So since this is for ten of my book series, (Dean Wesley Smith Starter Kit) we went looking for some old special workshops that fit some of my series. And we found five that you may have missed when they went by over the last five years. So here is the write-up about them from the campaign… —- The ones we brought back are the ones that fit with one or more of my series in the Starter Kit. You can get your choice of one, two, three, four,…

Kickstarter is Live!!!
And Fun for Me!! You can see it at DEAN WESLEY SMITH Starter Kit. All kinds of my books, some great special workshops coming back from other Kickstarters (You get a choice if you missed one before) and some fun stretch rewards, including a brand new lecture series. And I was going to add the challenge there as well, but alas it breaks Kickstarter Rules. Sorry. And take a look at the branding. I’ll talk about it later. Only ten days on this one, so really tight turn. Don’t miss it.
