Hey gang! Have you heard about The Crimebusters?
It's is a supernatural mystery adventure series featuring a team of student sleuths who investigate the unknown, and they have a Kickstarter for not one, but two books running right now!
In The Crimebusters #1, amateur detectives Chuck Chandler and Trixie Trouble must reluctantly team up to discover the truth behind the mysterious death of a beloved professor. Was it suicide... or supernatural?
In The Crimebusters #2, a ghost story leads Chuck and Trixie to uncover the truth behind a cold case from the 1890's. When the clues run out, there's just one way to learn what really happened: time travel?!
And, oh yeah... WE'RE FREAKING %91 FUNDED!!
Just 9 little percentage points to go! The suspense is KILLING ME!
I'm going to be at Mars Con in Minneapolis, this weekend. If there are any backers in the Twin Cities area that would love to swing by and say hi, I would be delighted to meet you, make meaningful eye contact, and have a delightful conversation about nerdy things. I am told that I am delightful.
One week left! Midnight on Wednesday, March 4 is when it's all over! Count it down with me!

Gonna talk about Australia now.

Alright! Here we go! The last 10 days of the campaign!
I let myself take a little break this weekend cause I was getting burned out, but it’s time to charge into the home stretch!
We're currently at %88 funded and I'd love to roll into next weekend fully funded, but before that happens, I want to talk about something more serious.
Hopefully this isn't news to you, but Australia is on fire.
Like, all of it.
Australia Burns is an anthology book of art and stories in tribute to the heroic firefighters and volunteers who have sacrificed everything to protect us from the vicious bushfire crisis, who are STILL fighting fires in many areas of Australia.
The creative team of writers and artists are some of the most talented you will find, having worked for Marvel & DC on titles like Batman, Avengers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Rick & Morty, and The Simpsons, just to name a few. Several of the stories are written by real-life firefighters, giving a valuable insight into just what it's like on the frontlines.
All proceeds from the book will be going to help out the Australian fire fighters and wildlife rescue efforts, so if you're looking for a good project to back, you will not find one more worthy than this.
Support a good cause AND get some awesome comics in the process.
Win, win.

Sepulchre by Christie Shinn
In a world of swords, bullets and blood, Lady Jaye Hawke, betrayed by the one she loved the most, seeks to avenge that treachery. She finds like company in Flint “Buzz” MacAllister, who seeks to avenge the death of his family. The the two allies take on a crime family that took from each of them what was best and most beloved from them – Lady Jaye Hawke’s voice, and Buzz MacAllister’s wife and son in a brutal and bloody fashion.

Daily Drawing Drawings, Vatican Assasin, and WE'RE HALF DONE!!
about 4 years ago
– Fri, Feb 21, 2020 at 02:21:02 PM
Hey beautiful backers!
Guess what! We're half done! in two more weeks, funded or not, this KS campaign will be over! Whatever happens, it will have been a learning experience, and I can't that you enough for helping us to get this far.
First order of business, I wanted to show off some of the winners of the Daily Drawing Drawings that I've been doing.
Backer Jeffery Watson told me he liked elves, so I was happy to comply:
And Backer JLC told me they like Deadpool so, in keeping with the theme of Impure Blood, I put a steampunk twist on him.
Winner's are chosen from each day's new backers, and there will be a new winner every day until we hit %100! If you or someone you know has been meaning to pledge, you might want get in on this while there's still time!
If you missed my guest appearance on the Lunch Hour livestream with Christie Shinn, you can listen to it BY CLICKING HERE.
We talk about all manner of stuff and we go deep. This is definitely not your standard interview show. At different points we talk about mental health, the stress of Kickstarter, getting Christie's tumor removed, and the Demon Bitch Cocktail. Just sayin', This might be one you listen to on your headphones.
In the meantime, how about something a little lighter?
Vatican Assasins by M.J. Massey
Viola, Fife, and Xy are the trainee members of the Assassins. Chosen by Saints as “Blessed Children” to receive divine powers, the trio and their friends are the only ones who can exterminate demons. Which is unfortunate, because demons seek to eat Blessed Children to gain incredible power. Will the trio be able to stop the demon in Piazza del Popolo? Or will they have to face something even scarier: Sister Rain’s wrath!
M.J.'s current project The Alchemist of Aurillia a book about wizards in the Ottoman Empire, is currently live on Kickstarter and you should totally take a look at it by CLICKING HERE.
Hmmm... half done. What should I do when this is all over?
Sleep? Yeah. I should probably sleep...
