A NEW BOOK: FOR THE HEART OF THE GAME
I've rolled another post over to Typosphere. It's about how I finished it, how that wasn't supposed to be the case, and how you can find it (for a limited time!), in the Escape 2026 StoryBundle.

More links in replies!

RUNNING THE BUSINESS
(Or, It's Time to Change the Plan(ning Method!))

My latest Patreon is up. It's about how my brain needs change to avoid getting stale, and, of course, how I've attacked the problem of planning my work this time. Interesting, right?

A FUN NEW BOOK: FOR THE HEART OF THE GAME
(And, Um, Thank the Powers I’m an Indie?)

My latest Patreon post is up. It's about, well, it's about what the subject says it's about--in all ways. Things happen, after all, and sometimes they're good!

THE MISSING MAN
My latest Patreon Post is up. It’s about a guy, or a group of guys, I woke up thinking about. It’s also about rain. And maybe even about creativity. Whatever that is.

“The act of being a writer, the point of being a writer, is to find joy in your life and to bring that out of you.”

“On Being (And Becoming Again!) A Writer” helped me out of a funk. It might help you, too. Still available TODAY ONLY.

The magic word is murder!

Mater's friend Stephan Silver is one of many magicians whose entire act has been stolen by the Fiendish Flash, a streaming magician who specializes in rule-crashing flash mob shows and public feuds with the magic community. The angrier his rivals get, the more stream views he gets, and the richer he gets.

But at the annual Magic Get Together, the feuds boil over—and Fiendish Flash lies dead in the middle of the night. Now suspicions flare up, with Silver as the prime suspect. Only Bobo Buttons, Private Eye can identify the real secrets behind Flash's fatal tricks.

Bobo Buttons, Private Eye, Route Book 4: Pick a Card.

Wood isn’t stone. You can bend wood, twist it, shape it. But if you bend it too far, it will break.

Stories are like wood. You can bend and shape them. But you can’t force a story. You’ll break it.

WHAT I’M WORKING ON NOW
My latest Patreon post is up today. This time it’s more about the cool part—what I’m working on now, and why that’s so cool. Complete with an appearance by Frisky the Cat! (Did we mention the cat?)

All right, Aces. Now ink Becky to a proper multi-season extension, and let's see what happens.

WRITE TO MARKET: THE CONUNDRUM My latest Patreon post is up. It comes from thoughts about a conversation I had at lunch, and how it seems that writers will argue over things that really don’t matter all that much.

I guess that makes us human, right?

@TheKJA Very cool, Kev.

[Ron Collins @roncollins13]

@LVAces @WNBA @Danaaakianaaa Outstanding!

[Ron Collins @roncollins13]

Now we need Dana and Nalyssa.

[Ron Collins @roncollins13]

Watching the #WNBA churn is kinda fun. Maybe it should be required that all sports leagues run FA over a single week.

[Ron Collins @roncollins13]

Today is the Day!

Time flies when you’re having fun. Hard to believe it’s the last day to back the Kickstarter for “On Being (And Becoming Again!) A Writer.” Pleased to see it doing well. Big thanks!

If you’re interested, today’s the day!
