KICKSTARTER, ANYONE?

Matt Buchman, who writes very popular action adventure thrillers, is launching Thrill Ride the Magazine, via Kickstarter from Feb. 7 to 21.

As the title indicates, the magazine will focus on action adventure. He’s already filled the first four issues, a year’s worth, with short stories by excellent writers. My own story, “Sins of the Past,” will appear in the Betrayal issue.

If the Kickstarter funds.

If you’re not familiar with Kickstarter, it’s a site where creative people (like writers) can set up campaigns to share their visions. Then interested communities come together to fund these projects. There are all kinds of perks that come with funding a Kickstarter campaign—for instance, free short stories (I donated “Cold Wave,” my award-winning short story) and novels to sweeten the pot. But only if the Kickstarter funds.

So, visit https://www.mlbuchman.com/btrm/ before February 21 to get enough high adrenaline stories to last you a whole year!

Jhyoti: Planetside

So pleased that my short story, “Jhyoti: Planetside,” is part of the new bundle from BundleRabbit. Eclectica is available now for pre-order everywhere e-books are sold. It features 19 short stories and collections from a variety of wonderful writers in all genres: fantasy to space adventure, pirates, mystery, horror, historical fiction, romance and coming of age. It’s curated by the wonderful Alex Butcher https://bit.ly/2IiIkxw
