I’m running a livestream every Thursday and Saturday for the month of April. Each stream will be dedicated to a contributor of Less Than Secret, and what story they made for the anthology.
Can’t watch it live? No problem! Streams get archived so you can watch them here on this site.
I did not mention this before, but The Legend of Jamie Roberts, volume 1 was not the only KickStarter on my roster.
NeverEnding, Inc has been running a campaign to expand the character builder’s offerings. And they have just 11 days left! They’re pretty close to their next stretch goal, too. So go check out the campaign if you can. Pledge, spread the word – support it however you can!
Plus, another campaign will launch THIS Saturday, April 3. This one is run by my good comics buddy, Ben Wright-Heuman, and his co-creator friend Rainer Kannestine. The project?
I contributed a short story about the Mothman. And there’s seven other stories about other cryptids to boot!
To celebrate the launch, I’m hosting a livestream on my YouTube channel! Hope you can join us Saturday, April 3 at 12 noon EDT. Yes, “us,” because the creators from the anthology will be joining me on the stream.
Expect livestreams every Thursday and Saturday during the month of April – I’ll be interviewing the creators who contributed to the anthology project.
If you helped bring The Legend of Jamie Roberts, volume 1 to completion, I’ll be posting updates on the regular on its KickStarter page.

Jamie is neither boy or girl – they’re a PIRATE! The Legend is about Jamie and their two best friends, Thomas and Daniel, as they uncover an unfinished map to a land they’ve never seen.
So what do they do with this map?
(A picture of Jamie, a genderqueer human with messy blonde hair and green eyes, gesturing with excitement, saying, “Go treasure hunting, of course!”)
So they leave their life on the seas and go adventuring for treasure! Along the way they find magic, dragons, and an ancient history bubbling back to the surface once more.
Right now, the story is on KickStarter to get chapters 1 through 4 – plus bonus content – in one shiny paperback book.
If you back this campaign, you’ll get:
a custom-signed copy of the book,
the map Jamie, Thomas, and Daniel found, complete with their notes and doodles,
your very own orb (make sure it never breaks, or Ranki will escape his prison!)
and more!
Some rewards are ONLY available until March 12, so check out the campaign and back it if and while you can.
“Wait!” you might be thinking. “You’ve already reached your funding goal! So what’s in it for me if I support you?”
Well, we still have stretch goals!
If we can get to 30 backers, then everyone who supports the campaign will get a FREE sticker sheet included with their rewards.
And if we get to 40 backers? I’ll make a NEW minicomic for all backers, The Legend of Azu-Mi.
Plus, I have a NEW gift…

If 5 people color this page, and use the hashtag #thelegendofjamieroberts on Instagram or TikTok, then I’ll add a bookplate to each book! (Up to a maximum of 50 books.)
