Earlier this evening, I promised that if we achieved the new stretch goal by midnight tonight, you would get to vote on what (or who) Fang blows up in my story. For context, read my earlier post today titled: “Fang (and I) Need Your Help.” or visit the Have Blaster, Will Travel Bulldogs! anthology Kickstarter.

As promised, here’s a poll! I can’t write this without you, so help me decide where the explosions’ll happen. If you can’t fill it out on this post, follow this link.

(Shoot! I was so excited I almost forgot to say the two most important words in this post: THANK YOU.)

Dear Readers of Extraordinary Calibre:

If the “Have Blaster, Will Travel” Kickstarter reaches its next stretch goal of $3,000 by Sunday, April 29th, you will receive three new science fiction stories in this anthology. Not only am I one of the authors included in that new goal, but you’ll also get a story *just* about Fang, the psychotic teddy bear featured in the novella Redwing’s Gambit.

I believe in this setting, the publisher, and the talented authors involved. But more than that, this is my opportunity to write a character fans like and design a plot you’ll enjoy. To me, that’s “the” reason why I write.

I hope you’ll support this collection of stories and beg your forgiveness if this went too far into Self-Promotion Land, but there are days when I ache for the cheers of my readers. This character is one of my favorites and I’d hate to see him die a horrible, untimely death.

To back the Kickstarter, visit Have Blaster, Will Travel: A Bulldogs! Anthology

Love,

Agent M

Last week, Fred Hicks from Evil Hat Productions debuted the cover for Don’t Read This Book, an anthology inspired by the RPG Don’t Rest Your Head which is edited by Chuck Wendig.

In my announcement when I talked about how I was thrilled to be one of the authors for this anthology, I also mentioned how this horror setting really allowed players to dive in the deep end of the proverbial psychological pool.

I am very grateful to have been a part of this anthology for many reasons. The process allowed me to explore death and guilt on a level I haven’t done before. If that weren’t enough, it is humbling to be included with such talented folks.

The anthology will debut in about a month! In the meantime, enjoy the cover!
