Hey! It’s exactly 1 year since the end of the first Sword & Laser contest. A year to the day from when I realized three fundamental truths at the exact same time:
A year into this enterprise! Wow! WOW! (wow)
AMOD is out, and we’re starting to leave the initial ’honeymoon’ period and sales spike - what now? What now? What now? I guess I should write something else, huh?
Thank you all again - I know I’ve said it over and over, but ANNIVERSARY OF THANKS.
Don’t forget to put up yer reviews and nominate me for shiny awards.
In my Sunday update I alluded to something in the works involving me that I was really excited about, but I didn’t give specifics. Well, now that the new Nerdist contest has begun and the unveil has happened I feel the time is right to tell you about it.
I have a feeling more than a few of you have already seen this particular entry into the contest - Too Many Controllers: An Anthology. Well, that was my news. In case you haven’t checked it out yet, I am one of the 15 authors contributing a short story to the collection. I’ve mentioned before that science fiction was one of my first loves, and a major reason I’m so excited about this collection is that I’m finally going to get a chance to show that love to you all.
That’s all I’m really going to say about the project here, since when you clicked that follow button you were doing so for Exile, Magus. If you’re interested in keeping up to date with what the 15 of us are doing(myself, Andre Brun, Elayna Mae Darcy, J.F. Dubeau, Brian Guthrie, Paul Inman, Richard Heinz, Ricardo Henriquez, Christopher Huang, Tal M. Klein, Billy O’Keefe, Amanda Orneck, Elan Samuel, Matthew Isaac Sobin, and Jamison Stone), then go follow Too Many Controllers so you can stay up to date as we release more details of the stories contained within.
In case you’re worried that this may delay progress on a campaign relaunch for Exile, Magus, don’t be. Magus is fully written and just really waiting on a proper developmental edit and publisher. Currently I’m waiting on my work schedule to slow down enough to have time to properly promote it before I start another campaign. I’ll have more on that topic when that time is closer, though.
For now I’ll just thank you all for your time, and hope you enjoy yourselves and your reading!
Trekonomics on Marketplace and Business Insider
Dear all,
Here is the link to the Marketplace interview:

It has been edited to a digestible 3-minutes snippet. But it’s fun.
In addition, I published this piece at Business Insider yesterday, just to mix things up a little bit: http://www.techinsider.io/10-reasons-star-trek-is-better-than-star-wars-2016-5
Enjoy! There is more coming soon.
In the meantime, for those who of you who feel so inclined, I encourage you to leave a short review of the book at Amazon.com : http://amzn.to/1UjeOoY
Thank you again for your continued support,
Live Long, and Prosper
