BNW, Novelizations, and the Onion

Today, three articles about my 12 for ’12 project appeared. In the first, on the Civilian Reader website, I wrote a guest post about “What Is Brave New World?” It’s a question that comes up a lot, of course, and I tried to nail down the answer. Next, I wrote a guest post for Bryan Thomas Schmidt’s SFFWRTCHT website. (That’s …

12 for ’12 Interviews

Today sees two excellent interviews with me about 12 for ’12 and writing in general. In the first, über-writer Chuck Wending gave me one of the most challenging and intriguing sets of questions I’ve ever faced outside of a police station. The conversation ranged from 12 for ’12 to Carpathia to advice about both writing and parenting, and it turns out …

Speed Writing

As part of my efforts to promote my 12 for ’12 project and its first Kickstarter drive (which is up to 191% and lurching toward unlocking Book 2!), I’m doing a bit of a blog tour. Today, I have guest posts that went up on two different websites, and in both cases, I wrote about writing fast. Over at SFSignal, …

BNW Map News

One of my old gaming pals, Aaron Acevedo, contacted me as soon as he heard about my first 12 for ’12 Kickstarter drive. As he says, he’s “a huge BNW fanboy,” and he volunteered to chip in something awesome for my readers. As of this weekend, I’ve commissioned from him a full-color, 11″ x 17″ map of Crescent City, the main setting …

12 for ’12 News Spreading

A lot of wonderful people have been out there telling folks about my 12 for ’12 project and the first Kickstarter drive for it, and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. I’d like to highlight a couple bits today. First, Cindy Au – who works at Kickstarter – blogged about the project yesterday in her post, “So …

Moving On Up

As of this morning, the Kickstarter drive for the BNW trilogy of novels for my 12 for ’12 project stands at over 140% of our original goal! Thanks to each and every one of you who backed the project to make that happen. I can’t tell you how thrilled this makes me. That also puts us at well over halfway toward …

1st Kickstarter Goal Smashed!

Wow, wow, wow. Just a little while ago, the Kickstarter drive for the first trilogy the 12 for ’12 project–novels based on my Brave New World RPG–shattered its first goal of $3,000. That means I’m going to spend January writing the first book in the Brave New World trilogy! I can’t tell you how thrilled I am about that, especially since …

BNW Trilogy Kickstarter is Live!

I just launched the first Kickstarter drive for my 12 for ’12 project! This is for the trilogy of novels I plan to write set in the same world as my Brave New World Roleplaying Game. Kickstarter is a fantastic crowdfunding service that helps creators (like me) take pre-orders for new projects from readers (like you!). The best part about …

BNW Back in POD

This is old news, I think, but I forgot to mention it when it happened. My friends at DriveThruRPG.com recently started a print-on-demand (POD) program for certain books they’ve been selling as PDFs. They’ve had the whole of my Brave New World Roleplaying Game line up as PDFs for a good while now (except the screen, which is hard to …
