    Catalyst Game Labs Press Release…

    Thought It Would Be Fun To See… We do press releases at times for different things at WMG Publishing. They are not easy and you need a real reason to do one and also know who you are sending it to and why and how they will use it. It is an old art that is still being used fairly regularly, just not by indie writers much. This is the press release that was also in the Catalyst newsletter that just went out, talking about the collaboration between Catalyst Game Labs and Kris. Those of you who have been following the licensing stuff, this has been in the works for…

    DIVING INTO THE WRECK Game

    Masks… Annoying and Fun… About a month ago I ordered thirty WMG masks from a company. All good except that once I was done they said they would deliver them on the 8th of August. Haven’t seen them yet, but not a chance in the world I will ever use that company again. I felt scammed. So no matter how good they look, nope, just nope… So I found another company that promised quick turn-around and reasonable prices, so I ordered a four-pack of Pulphouse masks from them and got them five days later, from London. Not kidding. And they were easy to do, looked wonderful, were comfortable, decent priced,…

    Diving Kickstarter

    More On The Diving Kickstarter I said this before. There are not one, but two new Diving novels for this one campaign. For those of you who are fans of the Diving Universe, Kris finally returned to Boss and the boneyard in a novel called THIEVES. And it has some surprises that will just keep you twisting. Amazing book. And it is a Boss book. And then Kris, in one of her moments of wanting to explain something to herself, wrote another novel that is set at the same time as the novel BONEYARDS and this one is called SQUISHY’S TEAMS. So two brand new Diving novels you can get…

    Diving Kickstarter Doing Great!

    An Understatement There… It funded in one hour (not a small ask, either) and hit the first stretch goal in ten hours. Still got twenty days to go. So for those of you who supported this, both Kris and I want to say, “Thank you!” Wow. And trust me, the novel THIEVES is going to be worth your time to read. Amazing and gripping. Especially if you are a fan of Boss and the universe in general. (And I just love this title image for the campaign, so putting it here again. Josh at WMG did a fantastic job with that using PhilCold’s original art which we commissioned for the…
