Just what it says on the tin:

Tinsel Rain returns us to the post-apocalyptic world of Cin City, glittering tinsel crown of the Kingdom of New California. When an old not-quite-friend of Shamus Tom Vargas is found dead, Tom gets pulled into a case of murder, magic, and mystery! Sinister archmages! Bodies in alleys! An actual high-speed car ride! And as many bad jokes as the author could cram in! Truly, you deserve to read this book!

You should be getting your download right about now. And with that, this Kickstarter is closed.  ...Just in time for the next Kickstarter, next year! Keep watching the skies (found here) for further info.

New novel, chapbook, short story, and updates on the RPG! [Right one, this time!]

TL/DR: I have books out (buy them, please), and I've started spending money on getting the RPG edited and extra-arted. A PDF copy of the supplement will be distributed to [FROZEN DREAMS] Kickstarter backers before I start selling it.

So... I have books out!

• MORGAN BAROD: Follow the neo-barbarian adventures of Morgan Barod as he awakens from a coma in a world gone magically mad! Thrill as he fights the terrifying beasts that didn't sensibly run away from humans! Marvel at the sights of post-apocalyptic New Jersey! Wonder at the author's lack of shame! Prepare to be Amazed! Paperback, Kindle, and Kindle Unlimited.
• DECISIONS: FOUR TALES OF CHOICES: Four entertaining stories, spanning genres! See a card sharp play a high-stakes game of bluff and blood in PIGEON! Participate in a final funeral in LE ROI EST MORT! Watch a man battle ruffians and himself in RESCUE FROM CHATEAU D'ALÉATOIRE! And marvel at the unique fate of a man who learns too much in DEEP IN THE HEART OF SEX FISH! (Four stories, thirty-two thousand words, four illustrations.) Paperback, Kindle, and Kindle Unlimited.
• PICKMAN'S MODEL: A ROMANCE: This is a companion piece to H.P. Lovecraft's "Pickman's Model." Richard Pickman is a Bostonian artist of the grotesque, seemingly incapable of making the simplest of human connections. But can he make one with Abigail Peters? (Short story, roughly 8 thousand words, one full-color illustration.) Kindle and Kindle Unlimited.

Also: work continues on the RPG supplement. I've paid for more art and some editing; both will be done by hopefully the end of next month, and then I'll be sending it off for layout. While I've already technically filled that stretch goal by sending out the files and existing art; if you backed at the $5 level or higher [on FROZEN DREAMS], you will get a complimentary PDF of the supplement before I start selling it on places like DriveThruRPG. I hope that it'll all be done by Christmas; once it's done, that's this for this Kickstarter, I reckon. Thanks again for backing and reading.

PS: I may or may not do a Kickstarter for TINSEL RAIN (the sequel to FROZEN DREAMS). I can publish the book next year without one.

New book and update on the RPG situation.

First things first: I have some hopes that I will be able to finally get the polished version of the Fermi Resolution RPG done. I've long since distributed the files and art, but the layout artist logjam has been replaced by an editor logjam, which is much easier to clear. Also, I've budgeted for more interior art! This is all going to be a 3Q  or 4Q 2021 kind of thing, but there is movement.

Second: my new sword and sorcery book MORGAN BAROD is out on Kindle:

Follow the neo-barbarian adventures of Morgan Barod as he awakens from a coma in a world gone magically mad! Thrill as he fights the terrifying beasts that didn't sensibly run away from humans! Marvel at the sights of post-apocalyptic New Jersey! Wonder at the author's lack of shame! Prepare to be Amazed!

Paperback version to follow.

PS: I'm also finishing up my next chapbook (DECISIONS). That one should be coming along just as soon as I get the art back for it.
