The final day of our fundraiser. Note that though the site (maddeningly) says we reached our goal, we are actually at less than a quarter of our target. The platform "upgraded" a week ago and our project information got reset in the process.

Last call. Today is our last day. We're nowhere near what we hoped to raise, but everything we DO raise will be used to fund the project. Please take a look. This will actually and directly shape people's lives. www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/...

Some of the forces of the universe manifest alphabetically, which is why we get this every year in the DragonCon guest list. Brace yourself, Atlanta.

My garden pond is full of fish and frogs and the occasional snake. Yesterday it was full of...deer. I had to move her on but she wasn't interested in the easy exit.

So excited to see HIDEKI SMITH not just in Japanese but in a special English AND Japanese edition: excellent for fans of all things Japanese, language learners and collectors alike. Link to all 3 editions (English, Japanese, bilingual) below.

Today I turned in the edited draft of the second HIDEKI SMITH novel. Rereading it reminded me just how personal a book it is, considering it's also about battling Japanese monsters. I can't wait to share it with y'all. Roll on DragonCon, where it will be officially released. Cover art and more soon

This weekend (from the opening ceremonies on Friday lunchtime) I'll be at JordanCon in Atlanta. When I'm not on panels (see attached) you can find me in the author's alley where I'll be signing every novel. If there are specific books you want me to bring, drop me a line so I don't run out.

What happens when monsters from Japanese folklore start coming out of the North Carolina mountains and only your family can stop them? Hideki Smith, Demon Queller, that's what.
