Hey Everyone!
We got some terrific news. SONGS OF GIANTS has been nominated for an award! The Robert E. Howard Foundation has nominated SONGS OF GIANTS for their The Valusian - Outstanding Achievement award! You can check it out on the REHF website. And if you are a member, you can vote! This is quite the honor. And I include everyone who supported me in creating SONGS OF GIANTS. I could not have done it without you. So take a bow and enjoy your bragging rights!
Meanwhile, we have a new project. I'm working with the same talented team that produced the SONGS OF GIANTS audio book, Mark Redfield and Jennifer Rouse. This time we are producing the FRANKENSTEIN MOBSTER Monsterama Audio Drama!
My FRANKENSTEIN MOBSTER is a very popular series of comics and graphic novels, and now the Redfield Audio Arts company is producing a full season of audio dramas featuring my favorite Mobster. Here is the link if you want to check it out: FRANKENSTEIN MOBSTER Monsterama Audio Drama!

SAN DIEGO SUCCESS!
Hey folks, I'm in the midst of my usual summer convention and travel marathon (while attempting to meet my deadlines on a heavy freelance schedule.) I just got back from the San Diego Comic Con where SONGS OF GIANTS had the first public on-sale. And we were a hit! The book sold great and attracted a good many fans of pulps. I managed to have quite a few great conversations with fellow fans of HPL, ERB and REH. In fact, I even got to meet a few of my wonderful Kickstarter Backers.

Today and tomorrow I am packing up a new shipment of SONGS OF GIANTS books and rewards. A good number of people finally responded to their BackerKit Surveys and we can now fulfill those rewards. But - we still have quite a few people who have not yet responded to the BackerKit Survey. Until now, I have been pushing and prodding to encourage everyone to respond the that Survey. But I now have no option but to move on and focus on my current projects. This means I will be hauling everything to the warehouse next week, and I will not be bugging you anymore about the Survey. Of course, if anyone comes along and does fill out the Survey, eventually I will make another pass at shipping out the rewards. But it may be quite a while before that happens again. You have been warned!
Meanwhile - I will be attending Pulpfest August 15-18, 2019. I encourage anyone who can, to come to Pulpfest. It is a wonderful gathering of pulp fans. You can find details here: PULPFEST
When you first filled out your BackerKit order form, you should have received a confirmation email with a link to your BackerKit account. You will need that link whenever you want to access most of your digital rewards.

Sorry for the confusion!

WE DELIVER!
Hey folks! Thanks for the incredible run of comments, Facebook posts and eMails telling me how much you are enjoying SONGS OF GIANTS. It means a lot to hear that my own obsession with creating this book has touched so many readers. I could not have done it without all of you and Robert E. Howard, Edgar Rice Burroughs and H. P. Lovecraft.
According to the tracking information that we and you finally got (you did get it, right?) only a few rewards are still in transit. We also have one reward still to ship that should have gone out with the first batch (an output glitch) and a number of rewards still to go out to people who have been just a little late responding to the surveys. We also have been getting more orders through the SONGS OF GIANTS web store. Feel free to point your friends to this link. They can pick up a copy of the book as long as the limited edition lasts. And any orders though the website (and nowhere else) include the audio book as a digital download.
If you have missed getting your digital rewards notice, or you need to return to the link at BackerKit, follow these instructions:

MOST ORDERS SHIPPED TODAY
This is a short note to let you know that most of you will be getting tracking information about SONGS OF GIANTS soon. I am told that as soon as USPS scans the packages, you will be notified via eMail with tracking information. We have one more trip to make to the Post Office, with about 30 packages. These last packages are missing one of our packing bags and we will have more bags tomorrow. I expect all shipments will be complete by Saturday. I will give you another update when that is official.
Meanwhile, Carol and I are looking forward to reclaiming our kitchen. Until I loaded up this morning, the kitchen was almost filled with cases of packed books and packing supplies. Now we can move around a bit, but there are still quite a few boxes in there!
