Last Chance to Pledge for Full Negative Book

Friends. Readers. Fellow nerds with impeccable taste. We are officially in the home stretch. The final 24 hours. The last lap. The dramatic climax of the movie where everything explodes in slow motion and the music swells and someone says something heroic right before punching a fascist in the face. (Okay, that last bit’s just wishful thinking, but after the week we’ve all had, I think we deserve it as a treat.) My point is: we’re down to the last days to pledge for FULL NEGATIVE, my big, bonkers scifi space opera that asks the question: what are you willing to give up for freedom? And also, what happens when the trolley problem is measured on a macro sale. (Spoiler: it gets messy.) Why does it matter? Because, for me right now, and hopefully for you, later, this isn’t about publishing a book. It’s about launching a world—telepaths, shapeshifters, space empires, doomed romance, glorious betrayals—and all the weird, wild joy that comes with that. It’s also about proving that stories like this—genre-rich, character-driven, unapologetically extra—have …

Saturday Update – Now with more art and add-ons!

It’s Saturday, which means it’s time for another update! By popular demand (and because I have no self-control), we’ve added some of my back catalog as add-ons. If you’ve already pledged but now find yourself thinking, Wait, I need that, don’t worry—you can update your add-ons by heading over to ‘Manage my pledge’ in your account. We’re also teetering on the edge of hitting 200% funded—less than $100 to go! When we cross that line, there’s a solid chance we’ll land on Backerkit’s front page under the ‘Hot Now’ section, which would be amazing. Meanwhile, work on Part 1 of the Setting Guide is moving right along. We’ve already got two fantastic pieces of art, plenty of snarky text (because of course we do), and a whole lot of juicy historical lore. If you haven’t seen the cover preview yet, it’s lurking over in the Promos & Merch section of the Discord. That’s all for now. Thanks for indulging me as I ramble about this—it’s kind of a big deal, so… yeah. Excited. See you …

Join the Adventure: Crowdfunding for ‘Full Negative’ Launch

I have a story to tell you. One that’s been waiting for its moment in the spotlight for a long time. It’s called Full Negative, and if you love explosive space opera with a touch of noir, betrayal, and all the high-stakes action you can handle, this is one you don’t want to miss. But first, I need your help. On March 18, I’m launching a crowdfunding campaign to bring Full Negative to life, and I want you to be part of it. What Is Full Negative? The best way I can describe it? Think X-Men meets Star Wars by way of Jason Bourne. It’s got everything you’d expect from one of my novels: This is space opera at its best—fast-paced, full of heart, and built on a universe I’ve been developing off and on for almost forty years. Why Crowdfunding? Since you’re here on my web site, you probably know me as the author of the A Chorus of Dragons series and The Sky on Fire–all best-selling epic fantasy books available from Tor. But …
