“You Are Released” by Joe Hill chapbook for Patreon Supporters Only
Even though everyone knows what January’s surprise chapbook for my Patreon supporters was by now, I figure we should have an official post for the archive.
It was a ton of fun putting together “You Are Released” by Joe Hill, and everyone I heard from was really pleased with the results. The upgrades like using full-color throughout and adding all of that François Vaillancourt seemed to be very popular. Here are some photos:
Reminder: there’s a brand new FAQ for new supporters and those who ...

Please Follow Me on BookBub
Someone asked if there’s anything they can do right now to help promote my work.
As you know, I am deeply uncomfortable asking people to go out and “tell your friends” about my work, but I am fairly comfortable asking if you could click the “FOLLOW” button on my BookBub profile if you have an account there!
Here’s the link:

Big Update On My Patreon!
When I said 2022 was off to a terrific start for my writing and for my Patreon, I had no idea what I was talking about. Since that post, more than 50 people have signed up, pushing us above 300 supporters, a number I never even dreamed possible.

New Trade Paperback and Hardcover: Walking With Ghosts
As I’ve been telling my Patreon supporters as part of their “behind the scenes” access, I needed to test a POD (print-on-demand) trade paperback printer for a series of projects we have in the works for next year. The first printings will be offset, but then I need a POD printer to keep up with the whims of the distributors. These are important books, so I didn’t want to just sent them to a printer I’d never worked with before and hope for the best. Instead, I’m using Walking with Ghosts as my t...

June 10, 2001: My Little Writing Table in a Baltimore Apartment
While searching for something else, I stumbled across this photo taken on June 10, 2001: my little writing table in the Baltimore apartment where we lived while my future wife attended a nearby university that summer. It’s amazing how fast time has flown by.
