Aliens Among Us Storybundle
Yes, Still Going On… Six days left and some great science fiction books by great writers. I got to curate this and I even mentioned it here when I was looking for books. Fun putting it together. Following, I am going to reprint my blog about it. I put this blog here two weeks ago just before we started the Kickstarter. I hope you grab a bundle for some great reading. WWW.Storybundle.com/aliens Here is my original blog… One thing science fiction fans think about when you say “Aliens Among Us” is aliens like body snatchers, or Grays flitting around Area 51. None of that in this group of great novels…

Why All The Stretch Rewards?
Why Give So Much Away? Got that question a lot this time, more than any other campaign we have done, although I must admit, that question is pretty normal for our campaigns. If a person does a $5 pledge to get an early copy of RESCUE TWO in electronic form, as I write this they get ten more books and nine workshops worth $1,350.00. But that is about to jump one more goal to eleven books and ten workshops. Why do this? Why give so much away? Two major reasons, actually. First, this is a campaign for my new Seeders novel RESCUE TWO. It stands alone, but gives a good…

LESS THAN 40 HOURS LEFT!!
Ends on Thursday at 7 pm West Coast Time. RESCUE TWO Kickstarter Campaign Only forty hours to get the two special workshops, or deals on other workshops, or great deals on a bunch of my books. Just not much time left. Yesterday we hit the 9th Stretch Goal. And there is time to get to one more I think. But right now hitting 9 Stretch Goals means any backer of any reward gets the following extra books and Pop-Up writing classes on top of whatever award they took. Ebooks A Billion Earths: A Seeders Universe Collection Life of a Dream: An Earth Protection League Novel Ball of Confusion: An Earth…

Two Special Workshops
Only Available In the RESCUE TWO Kickstarter Campaign. These both fit in well with the space opera and science fiction nature of the Seeders books. And both are going to be great fun. RESCUE TWO KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN… ONLY THREE DAYS LEFT!!! — WRITING IDEA FICTION Special Workshop!! NOT OFFERED ANYWHERE ELSE BUT IN THIS CAMPAIGN. Idea fiction is an entire area of science fiction, and many writers believe that is all that makes up science fiction. They are wrong, but it is a large part of the genre. An important part to know how to do. Kris and I have put together this three-week class to help you understand what makes a…

Lifetime Subscriptions
Lifetime Pop-Up Subscription… We are going to add it, and the first time it is being offered is for half price as a reward in the RESCUE TWO Kickstarter Campaign. It will be up next weekend at full $3,000 price on Teachable. And shortly there will be 79 different pop-ups included in it. With more coming all the time. Also, a real amazing deal is the Lifetime Workshop Subscription. It is also a reward on the Kickstarter at half price for the four days the campaign has left. We also have Lifetime Subscriptions to the Study Along classes (included all the old ones already done) and lectures, but neither of…

Kickstarter News
Brandon Backed All Publishing Kickstarters Or at least all the viable ones. How cool is that? And he helped a number of them fund and watching the video is also great fun. He, or one of his people, backed the RESCUE TWO campaign as well. Thanks, Brandon! Over the years I have backed a lot of campaigns, but never as many as he did today. Number totaled over 300. Wow! And he said at the end that readers now will start thinking of Kickstarter as a way to find books. Basically we are all creating a new market to help readers find new books, new authors, and innovative publishing products.…

Playing With Marbles
Took A Couple Hours… And met with an antique dealer friend here in Vegas and sorted marbles. She has a shop that I have been buying marbles from and when I showed up today she started pulling out bags and boxes of unsorted marbles, so for two hours I helped her stock her display case and figure out which marbles were new and which were older and expensive. To a marble collector like me, that was heaven. I also bought a antique 30s or 40s leather marble bag with the word “marbles” on it and a cowboy on a horse. No idea what or when it came out, but way…

Reading a Lot of Great Stories
Study Along Workshop for Thriller/Humor I have been amazed at a number of things. First off, how many writers got stories in for this workshop. Writing thriller/humor short stories is a tough challenge and a lot of writers tried it. So that impressed me. Second thing that impressed me with the first assignment was how good they were overall. Some great mysteries and a bunch of writers actually hit thriller/humor short stories. Then with the story in 40 hours, a lot of writers made the deadline and again the stories were great. And the third story deadline of 24 hours had about three times as many stories as I expected,…

Internet Issues
So One of These Blogs… Writing this to load with the hot spot on my phone. Seems Tuesday night around midnight is a good time for the cable people to do work. Annoying. My eye is just about done with screen time for the day. Read a large number of great stories for the Thriller/Humor workshop, and did a lot of regular assignments for workshops and a ton of other stuff. So busy, but just about done. My eye is getting tired. So remember the Kickstarter has hit four stretch goals, which means three free Pop-Up classes on world building in science fiction. And more to come. And two really…
