Final Push on BLOOD TALLY
As of the moment I write this, there’s just twenty-four hours left to support BLOOD TALLY on Kickstarter! Doing so will allow you to get the ebook three months early, as well as discounted bundles of the ebook, audio, and hardcover. We’re currently at 169% funded, which is super awesome. A big thank you to everyone who has supported so far. If this is up your alley, get on it!

BLOOD TALLY Kickstarter is live!
Hey guys! The Kickstarter for my second book in the Valkyrie Collections series is now up. In case this series is new to you, the first book Uncanny Collateral came out earlier this year and is available on Amazon. It follows a collection agent in Cleveland, Ohio who works for the supernatural. It’s a quick, fun romp that I think you’ll enjoy.
I’ve been talking about this Kickstarter for a few weeks on twitter and it went live this morning. As I’m writing this, it’s been up for almost 5 hours and is at the 70% funded mark already! Considering this is only my second Kickstarter ever, I’m pretty pleased with that.
Unfortunately, the special tiers (naming characters) are already gone - if I end up adding any more, I will update the KS. So keep your eyes on that! Thanks again for all your support!

Blood of Empire - Signed Pre-orders!
The time has almost come! Blood of Empire, the sixth and final book of the Powder Mage saga, will be upon us in just three short months. As usual, I’m taking pre-orders for signed hardcovers via my website store. These (and all books ordered with them) will ship the week of December 3rd. Because it is the final book I know a lot of people will be looking for the whole trilogy in hardcover: if you’re one of those, I suggest getting in early. I haven’t been able to track down hardcovers for two books of the Powder Mage Trilogy for some time now and I imagine Gods of Blood and Powder will go the same direction.
If you prefer ebook, or would like to get your hands on a cheaper copy, you can also pre-order via your favorite bookstore as listed below. Pre-ordering is a pretty big deal for the author, as it boosts those all-important first-week numbers and creates the possibility of bookstores stocking more of my books.

Uncanny Collateral on Kindle Unlimited
Are you a Kindle Unlimited reader? Are you looking for a quick, fun read to fill your afternoon with a bit of adventure? You’re in luck! My urban fantasy debut, Uncanny Collateral, is now available in Kindle Unlimited. It’s the story of a collection agent in modern day Cleveland, Ohio who works for the unsavory elements of the supernatural world. It’s pretty rad (if I do say so myself), so head on over and pick it up!
While it’s on KU, it will be unavailable on other platforms (including here on the website). However, you can still pick up the audiobook narrated by Luke Daniels just like normal over on Audible.

GenCon 2019
I’m going to GenCon next week! Because of some family stuff, I was way too late on my decision to come to get on programming and thus only have two events as outlined below. I’m told the bookstore should have my novels. I’m going to try to bring a few hard copies of Uncanny Collateral with me as well (depending on how packed my suitcase is). If you see me around the con hall, don’t hesitate to flag me down. See you all there!
Friday, 6-10pm - Worldbuilders Charity Party. I’ll be playing a game with Jim Zub. Tickets still available, with all proceeds going to charity!
Saturday, 5pm - Signing at the author signing area at the back of the exhibit hall.
