Here are some of the details about what happened: http://www.helpwolverton.com/
I’m trying to get an Amazon affiliates link for Dave, that way he’ll get the refferals on any Amazon purchases on the click through also. That way I can post it tomorrow. I know that a bunch of other authors are going to be pushing this tomorrow also in the hopes that it helps out.
Robison Wells pitched this idea to me over tacos one day, and I agreed to help out. It is a teaching tool to help aspiring writers learn what they need to in order to jump in and start telling stories.

Watch the video. Having taught a lot of writing seminars and been on a lot of panels, I think this is a great idea. It gives you a chance to learn the fundamentals of story telling, and basically gives you a great big “writing group” to help you out.
Dan, Rob, and Marion will each be writing a novella to flesh out the world. A bunch of other writers and I will be kicking in some of the story stubs and ideas to help people get started on their own stories.
I know we just barely had a book bomb last week, but something has come up with another author and they could really use a boost.
Many of you know Dave Wolverton, who also writes as Dave Farland. Dave’s a really awesome guy. He taught BYU’s created writing class for a long time, and he’s been a mentor to a lot of writers.
Last week Dave’s son got into a really bad longboarding accident and was severely injured. He is in a coma and not doing very well at all.
One of Dave’s students contacted me, Brandon Sanderson, and James Dashner this weekend, asking if we could arrange a Book Bomb to help Dave out. The medical bills for Dave’s son are going to be astronomical, so it can’t hurt. So we will be doing a Book Bomb on Wednesday, April 10th.
More details to follow. Please tell your friends.
I finished painting some more Warmachine minis for my Mercenary army this weekend. First off, a couple of solos. My mad alchemist bomber:

EDIT: to add a group shot of all my Warmachine Mercenaries. I should specify that’s painted. I’ve got a stupid number of unpainted. 🙂
If you’ve not seen this yet, I’ve got a new novella out. I know a bunch of you got it on Friday (love that Amazon affiliates link!). If you’ve got a chance, please do me a favor and post a review so it shows up more. A lot of my fans aren’t even aware this exists yet. http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&bc1=000000&IS2=1&bg1=FFFFFF&fc1=000000&lc1=0000FF&t=monshuntnati-20&o=1&p=8&l=as4&m=amazon&f=ifr&ref=ss_til&asins=B00C77NL0A
Unless you didn’t like it, then don’t post a review, because nobody wants to listen to you Mr. Negative Nancy! 🙂
