On Hiatus

I'm leaving in two days for my Oregon Trail trek. For the next five weeks, expect even fewer new stories than normal. If you submit a story during this time, I'll find the opportunity to put it up, but don't count on me writing any new stories myself. But who knows, maybe the inspiration will hit.

The Oregon Trail trip is in support of my upcoming novel, Quitting The Grave. I will be filming a series of mini documentaries that will accompany the digital version of the book.

To learn more about the novel and to follow along with my trip, you can visit my Facebook page.

In the meantime, I'll be posting two essays from my collection of 100 word stories, Picasso Painted Dinosaurs, that I hope will tide you over until I get back in October.

Time Is Running Out On My Kickstarter

It's down to nail-biting time for my Kickstarter, in support of my novel Quitting the Grave. If you are a fan of this website, please consider contributing. Even a small amount will make a huge difference.

For 5 dollars, you'll receive a copy of my collection of microfiction, Picasso Painted Dinosaurs. For 10 dollars, you'll also get a copy of Quitting The Grave.

You can also help out massively by sharing the link to my Kickstarter with your friends and family. You can read more about the project on the Kickstarter page or on Facebook, but I'll just reiterate that I've made a firm commitment to publish as an independent author, which means I need to work extra hard to find my audience. The fact that you're on this website indicates you should at least take the time to go read about the project.

Thanks a million!

Our Kickstarter Is Now Live!

And now for something that's not so completely different. After a short hiatus to get all the behind the scenes work done, our Kickstarter for Picasso Painted Dinosaurs has finally gone live. What are you waiting for? Go donate now!

So what is Picasso Painted Dinosaurs? It's an e-book collection of Microfiction, 100 100 word stories to be exact. Some stories will be familiar if you are a regular reader here, but the majority are brand new, never before read, exclusive stories that will only be found in this e-book. In addition, the collection includes two essays that I wrote, one on the Art of Microfiction, and another on Finding Daily Inspiration. Most fabulous of all, the collection features original artwork from Mike Simon.

This Kickstarter is something of a test run. We're only asking for $300, enough for us to publish the book across all major e-book platforms, including iBooks, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble. In the future, we'll be launching more ambitious projects, including a multimedia version of my long-gestating novel, Quitting The Grave.

Please donate now. Even the minimum contribution of two dollars will make a difference in us reaching our goal. And even if you don't donate, tell your friends about the project. The most important thing for us at this point is to get the word out.

Thanks.
