    Close Brush With Death…

    Honestly, This Might Be One of My Closest… Over the years, in my life, I have had a lot of close brushes with death, from being swept under a rock in fast rapids to getting tangled in high-tension power lines while skydiving. And sadly enough, there are others. All of which start with me saying, “I thought it was a good idea at the time.” But yesterday, I had a very close call and I wasn’t even doing anything stupid. (go figure) Kris and I were headed down to the Arts District to have lunch at a favorite restaurant. We pulled into a diagonal parking spot, nose of the passenger…

    Three Days Left… The Workshops

    Going Over The Workshops in the Pulphouse Kickstarter Wow are there a lot of writer workshops available in this Pulphouse Fiction Magazine Subscription Drive 2022 Kickstarter Let me start with the two Special Workshops, only available for three more days. Both workshops are three-weeks long, are offered only twice, and the final weeks’ assignment for both workshops will be to write a short story that I will consider for Pulphouse (Not as submissions, just how I will look at the stories.

    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.
