Lots of Fun!!
Kickstarter and Bundle… Not only did we launch a fun Kickstarter today that funded in an hour and hit the first stretch reward in four hours, but I curated a StoryBundle that is starting later today in the evening. The Kickstarter I have been talking about the last couple of days. And it is just about to hit the second stretch reward with another story for everyone, plus a Pop-Up writing class. Check it out by clicking here. The StoryBundle that I curated and that will start later today is called GETTING JUSTICE. Man there are some great authors and books in the bundle. Especially if you love all kinds…

I Love Being In StoryBundles
For a Number of Reasons… First, I love reading, as a reader, what the other writers have put in the StoryBundle. Usually takes me the entire time the bundle is up before I get done reading or looking at them all. But just as a reader who buys it, I love all the different books in a certain topic. Great fun. Second, it helps people find different work of mine that chances are I would write, publish, and forget. Needing a book to put into a Storybundle is a great incentive. And I have actually written a few books over the years just for a bundle. And it gives the…

Cosmic Visioinaries
A Spin-Off of Space: 1975 If you did not get the anthology Space: 1975 edited by Robert Jeschonek, you might want to grab it in this bundle. Fantastic and crazy stories that are space opera with a 1975 slant or theme or something 1975 in space. In my story I used a giant disco ball that was an alien spaceship the size of Jupiter coming in from another galaxy. And two old people from an Earth nursing home need to stop it. Yeah, that kind of crazy. And when Bob asked me into this fantastic bundle (Cosmic Visionaries), I asked if I could continue on with the same story and…

Last Day of the Cattitude Bundle
On Story Bundle… Ten great books of cat stories. This ends on Thursday, so this is the last full day. I have a Pakhet Jones short novel in there called THE BIG TOM that is kind of fun and cool. And I edited the title collection of Pulphouse Fiction Magazine stories called CATTITUDE. They are truly whacked out as you can imagine a Pulphouse cat story might be. An entire book of them. Kris put this incredible bundle together and to be honest it sort of surprised me that there is only one day left. For $15 bucks you can get all ten books of cat stories. This is the…

Colliding Worlds Publishing Today
Six Volume Collection of Kris and My SF Short Stories… The electronic copies went out to the Kickstarter backers who took the full set a month ago, the paper copies have all shipped and are now available for sale as well. Only the signed limited hardbacks are still going through the final shipping steps. Kris and I are both very, very proud of this collection. 60 science fiction short stories each. How much fun is that? And by reading these volumes you can really see the difference in our writing and our approach to the same genre. And we hope be entertained for a very long time. (grin) Here is…

Jim Steinman
Died Today at 73…. Way too young. I just spent some hours tonight watching some work by one of the greatest writers who ever lived. Jim Steinman. He wrote on Broadway and in movies and just about everywhere, and maybe wrote some of the best songs in our lives. You can look up the thousands he wrote and I bet you will go “He wrote that! I didn’t know that!” for half of them. But my favorite writing of his was always the work he did with Meat Loaf, including the two Bat out of Hell albums. My all-time favorite Jim Steinman song is “Paradise by the Dashboard Light”. This…

Secrets and Lies Storybundle Has One Day Left!!!
Don’t Miss This One… Ten really amazing books in this one if you like all kinds of mystery. Kris really put an amazing bundle together with some of the top names in mystery fiction. Get all ten books at www.storybundle.com/mystery And trust me, if you start into my novel Cold Hand: A Cold Poker Gang Mystery, hold on for the ride. It might easily be the most twisted of the series. At least so far. Also on Wednesday at 4:30 pm East Coast Time, Mark Leslie and I and maybe others will be doing a live stream and taking questions. I hope there is four or five of us writers…
