(Also, love that cover.)
And congratulations on the anniversary of this project. It's been a constant companion this past year, and I thank you heartily for showing up every time.

Well, the DOOM + MADNESS Kickstarter is done. Hurray! I guess I should launch another one. Here we go! It's a brand new Night Office adventure, but with more RPG-like elements using tarot cards! Go sign up on the notification thingie!

An important thing to remember. Every day, if necessary. Eventually, we'll turn it into an acronym. MSBIF+E+YC.
Okay, maybe not. But do it anyway!
I have seen proofs of DOOM & MADNESS, which means it is time to finish up the rest of the stretch goal shenanigans for the Kickstarter. I get to revel in really terrible contract language. #nightoffice #makingshitup #thecreativelife

I'm now going to distract you with non-grimdark fantasy content. Crooked v.3 is out. Space heists! There's an author interview here: www.jessiekwak.com/mark-teppo-v3/
Ebooks of all three volumes are free this weekend at your usual retailers (except for one, but that's their fault). Get copies!
