First, Some News

A reminder of the big launch date!

Crazy Latte Thing Called Love will be launching on Kickstarter Wednesday May 15th at 8am EDT.

If you haven’t hit notify on the campaign page yet, there’s still time! We’ll have early bird deals, until the end of Friday May 17th (ending at 11:59pm EDT), that include deep discounts on already discounted bundles and early backer rewards every pledge level will receive - as long as they get in before the deadline.

The first couple of days are make or break on Kickstarter, so we’re really hoping to launch strong with this outing. I’ll be sharing a lot more on my socials as we get closer to launch - and I’ll highlight everything that’s available right here in this newsletter on launch day.

Tell your friends, your cat, your mom and your ex-lovers. Get them to back the campaign day-one so we can get Kickstarter’s attention and make this another “Project We Love”.

Hear me on True North Country Comics

I’ll be on True North Country Comics - recording tomorrow night with host John Swinimer. If you haven’t heard the podcast before, he has short 15-20 minute interviews with Canadian creators from coast to coast.

John has a very friendly and easy-going style while still being pretty structured. It leaves a lot of room for fun conversations.

Please give it a listen and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or YouTube!

Campaign from a Friend

I had the great pleasure of meeting the uber-talented artist Roberto Viacava in person in his hometown of Niagara Falls. Not only is he an overall great person, but he’s also part of the Pesto Comics family as he’ll be doing a variant cover for Crazy Latte Thing Called Love!

The more pressing matter is that he has an active campaign on Kickstarter: Nathaniel Fox and the Tomb of Humayun #1

It looks incredible and I’ve already picked up my copy - helping rocket it to 85% funded in the first couple of days.

This is the kind of pulpy goodness I love. It has real Doc Savage meets Indiana Jones vibes and promises to be a ton of fun.

Help Roberto get this project over the line and beyond! The campaign is running until May 18th.

‘The City We Chose’ going strong!

Live right now is the TO Comix anthology I’m a part of: The City We Chose.

This campaign started really strong and has crossed the halfway mark of funding. There’s still plenty of time to jump onto this campaign.

If you read last week’s post, you know this story means a lot to me. I’m hoping that even more people will get to read Il Pescatore in this great anthology.

I’ve been keeping really busy, but there’s a piece of unfinished business to bring back up…

Voting STILL Open for ‘Chop, Chop, Chop’

If you haven’t read my finalist story for the Writer’s Digest “Your Story 128” - there’s not only time to read it, but time to help me get it published!

There’s still a lot of ground to cover, so every vote it very much appreciated.

Speaking of short stories…

New Project Announcement!

Big Smoke Pulp

This project is a little different than the comics-focused projects I’ve been doing over the past two years…

Big Smoke Pulp Vol. 1 is a pulp genre anthology of short stories, flash fiction and micro-fiction. With this project, I’m looking to share stories across all
