    Kickstarter for Poker Boy

    Four Poker Boy Collections! Forty stories, plus you can also get the only Poker Boy novel (origin novel) and a sequel novella.

    Fun and Excitement…

    Building a Brand… Right now Steph and I (mostly Steph) are building the Poker Boy brand. In all the years I have been writing Poker Boy stories (since 1987), I have never been able to come up with a look, a brand look, for Poker Boy. At times, his stories had covers that sort of illustrated an event in the story. At one point we went to these really nifty cartoon covers designed by comic writer Lee Allred.
