Finalizing Iron Tribune + A Kickstarter Update

Iron Tribune Updates Plus a Kickstarter Illustration Reveal!


Hi everyone,

Sorry for the delay in posting but I wanted to have a lot to share! Below you’ll find a sample illustration and the final cover and back cover illustration/artwork. I’m really excited to share these with you. Kickstarter backers have access to almost all of the illustrations as well, which come as a perk of being a backer!

With these done, and the maps being finalized, all that remains is for me to double check all the formatting and illustration locations, receive the final files and upload them to the Amazon, B+N, and Smashwords book sites. With that done, I can order proof and final copy print books and prepare to send them out to all my backers and then place them up for general sale! Without further ado, here’s the illustrations.

Can’t wait to share the entire book with you!

Oh, and did I mention there’s a good chance I’ll be getting The Steam Empire Chronicles translated into a different language? I’m in negotiation with a company to license and distribute my book in Portuguese. We’ll see where it goes, but I’m excited to explore this opportunity!

Special September Notice


Hi everyone,

I wanted to let everyone know that 10% of all sales of any of my novels in the month of September will go to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society here in the United States. One of my future goals is to do something like this every year, highlighting a different organization or cause in need.

While there are many decent and right causes out there for us to all support, I urge you to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, as many of the treatments that are found for these cancers can be applied to other cancers and diseases as well. Every dollar raised could be the one that tips us over the edge!

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) funds the research and development of therapies that save thousands of lives every day. Two examples are targeted therapies that seek out cancer cells and kill them, and the use of a patient’s own immune system to kill cancer.

If you’re interested, please click the link here to take you to the fundraising page. Every dollar helps! If money is tight, share this update with your friends and family. I appreciate your support. 

(And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming!)
