Half way and looking good

Half way through the Kickstarter for The Hollow Drum, Lies have consequences. This is the fourth book in the Desolation series of Novellas, widely praised and ticking along nicely. Thanks to the generosity of my backers, we're so close to hitting our goal already!

Jump along and read the reviews on Goodreads to see what all the fuss is about.
