    New Kickstarter Launches At Noon!!

    MARY JO ASSASSIN books… I love writing Mary Jo stories. It is amazing how complex killing someone can get. At 1,000 years old and a member of the Assassin’s Guild, she is well trained and practiced. Oh, if you are looking for magic or swords or things like that, afraid none of that in these books. She is sexy and deadly and doesn’t age, but she does love her partner, another assassin, and a good Screwdriver after a job well done. (Vodka and Orange Juice.) She might be called a completely modern assassin. Leaves no trace and has a very powerful code of ethics. And she is one of those…

    SUPER GREAT KICKSTARTER CHALLENGE…

    The Super Great Kickstarter Challenge… Yes, we went there because, honestly, we were asked and honestly, a few of us spent some time today trying to figure out what was a good number of Kickstarters a year for a writer with a day job. So we all came up with the number five.  More than one every quarter. Here is how we figured the time. Two weeks to get most of the parts together for a campaign. Two weeks to get the campaign approved by Kickstarter and promote it ahead. Two weeks (17) days for the campaign. Four weeks to fulfill. That’s about 10 weeks. So five per year would…
