Just barely announced. I found out on Twitter. Spellbound, written by me and narrated by Bronson Pinchot, has won the 2013 Audie Award for Best Paranormal!
Hard Magic won last year. That’s two best audiobook awards in a row. Awesome. 😀
Doing the AMA on Reddit now
A Kickstarter for a webseries from a friend of mine
Short post because I’m rushing somewhere.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/624956126/pinkertons-episode-one-secret-mission My friend Tom is putting together this web series on the Pinkertons. Check it out. Watch the video. I talked to them a bunch at ConDuit last weekend. They’re a good bunch trying to do something original and fun.
I’m doing an AMA on Reddit tomorrow
I’ll be doing an Ask Me Anything on Reddit tomorrow. http://www.reddit.com/r/fantasy This one is going to be Q & A with all of the fantasy authors who have written stuff for Privateer Press’ Skull Island Expeditions so far.
A Kickstarter I’m backing. Be your own Mini.
Okay, this is pretty sweet even if your not a gamer or a mini painter. This is a local company that approached me and a bunch of other authors at LTUE about getting our heads 3D scanned so we could have minatures that look exactly like us. They are doing a Kickstarter to launch their company, and the whole idea is that they can scan anybody’s head, and then produce a mini of you on an existing body, or you can get just the head to put on some other body.
I got my sample yesterday, and it really does look like me (from our party of novelists and cartoonists, I’m the cleric. I’m thinking for Accountor, God of Fiscal Responsibility). The mini looks good. I won’t be able to paint it for at least the next 10 days, but I will post pics as I do. The sample I got was 28mm so that puts it a little on the small side, about the same size as a historical mini, like a Perry Brothers or so. But they are doing the actuals in 32 or 35mm “heroic” scale, so more in line with Warmachine or Reaper sizes. I’m getting another one in larger scale and then I’m also going to get a whole bunch of extra Larry heads, because I need Larry the pirate, and Larry the space marine, and Larry the conquistador, you get the idea.
