IndieAuthors.Social News<p>No Joke</p><p>I know, I know. It’s April Fool’s Day. And Dean Wesley Smith decided to launch a Kickstarter anyway. It’s for his Poker Boy series, which is one of my favorites. If you back it, you’ll get four Poker Boy ebooks and whatever stretch goals we hit. And writers, there’s some really great rewards here.

In my heart of hearts, I know I should be writing, but I can still somehow never really write. Not regularly. Not the way I imagine it - and what I imagine is not some romantic every-day-or-else-I'll-die-I'm-a-writer-see kind of way.
