My Kickstarter is officially done!

For those of you who backed my Kickstarter back in April/May – the packages have been shipped! You should receive them in about a week or less. The digital PDF copies have been sent out too. Thank you once again for supporting my Kickstarter.

This was my first successful Kickstarter. It was a lot of work getting people to follow it, going on different podcasts to get the word out, making memes, and making sure everyone was in the loop with up-to-date information once it was over.

Once I have the script written and my artist Ujval draws comic #8 I’ll do it again in 2024.

If you missed out on the Kickstarter you can come see me at The Gem City Comic Con July 22 & 23 and get comics #1 – #7! Don’t forget you can also get my romantic comedy novel The Taming Of April too.

Thank you Cleveland!

Wow…what a weekend.

This past weekend I had my most successful show ever and I believe the biggest reason why was because of my new book The Taming Of April.

Like I’ve said before, Cleveland is my hometown. My friends came to visit and buy stuff. I had dinner with my mom and Clevelander’s came up and talked to me about voice acting, radio, my comics (Tercona), and my new book.

If you want a copy of my new book The Taming Of April but you missed out this past weekend you can order it on Amazon.com OR you can order it right from me too.

This is the REGULAR cover of the book. It’s not as ‘fan service’ and revealing as the other cover. This one will ALWAYS be available. Right now, there are only hard copies available, NO digital copies…yet!

** REMEMBER: if this book was a movie it would be rated R. It’s NOT for kids. **

This one is $15.

To order this copy of The Taming Of April click on the picture.

This is the SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION cover! This cover will only be available for a limited time. It’s the same book as the other cover it only has a different cover.

** REMEMBER: if this book was a movie it would be rated R. It’s NOT for kids. **

This one is $25.

To order this copy of The Taming Of April click on the picture.

Now that you know I’m also writing OTHER stuff besides Tercona I need to let you know I’m not giving up on Tercona. Matter of fact, my Kickstarter for comic #7 – You Can’t Save Everyone – will launch in April.

My Kickstarter will launch in 2 weeks! I hope to reach 100 followers before I start. To follow the Kickstarter for Tercona comic #7 – You Can’t Save Everyone – click on the picture!

I’m back in my hometown of Cleveland!

This weekend I’ll be at Fan Expo Cleveland!

Join me at Fan Expo Cleveland March 24 – 25. My Artist Alley booth number is – A815. Let’s talk about voice acting, comics, cartoons, superheroes, and of course Tercona!

Cleveland, Ohio is where I grew up. I graduated from Maple Heights High School in the late 80’s. I got my first radio job at 92Q – WRQC in 1988 and I also worked at Lite Rock 106 & 1/2 for a little while too.

I still have family and friends that live in the area as well.

Fan Expo Cleveland is also the place where you can get my romantic comedy novel The Taming Of April for the very first time!

** This is a NOVEL not a comic and it’s for a mature audience only. If this book was a movie it would be rated R. **

Finally, don’t forget, I’m launching a Kickstarter for Tercona comic #7 it’s called – You Can’t Save Everyone. I’m just looking for followers right now. This Kickstarter will launch on April 11. To follow my Kickstarter click the picture.

I hope to see YOU in Cleveland this weekend!

I’ll soon be looking for ARC Readers

My book The Taming Of April will be published in March of 2023. This is a rated-R romantic comedy novel. Sex ‘talk’ but nothing too over-the-top spicy.

Can a wild girl find true love? Find out in The Taming Of April coming in March of 2023!

I’m slowly looking for ARC readers. In case you’re unaware, an ARC reader is Advanced Review Copy. Generally, I send you an advanced copy of the book and YOU post a review of it on Amazon, GoodReads or where ever else books are sold.

REMEMBER: The book doesn’t come out until March so I need to get a list of a few people now who might want to read this book and leave a review of it before it goes on sale.

My only requirements are: You must be OVER 18 to read this. (As I said, rated R!) and you must have an Amazon or Goodreads account. Or, if you don’t have either, you need to have a good following on social media so if you leave your own personal review on social media I can share your review with others.

If you want to be an ARC reader, send me an email or contact me via social media. I look forward to hearing from you.

Tercona blog #1

As you know, I try to write a newsletter about once a week or once every other week. This week I decided to add something different. A blog. The blog is NOT going to promote my comics or books but instead give YOU some friendly writing advice and tips.

This week’s writing tip…

Know your target audience!

My first 3 Tercona books –

Tercona: Book 1 – Our New Home,

Tercona: Book 2 – Dr. Q & The Banana Gun and

Tercona: Book 3 – Trinity’s Traps

These books were targeted toward girls 8 – 12 years old.

My first comic book was published in 2019. It was called Tercona comic #1 – Who is Thea Baymon? It was targeted toward teens but generally, I like to say – all ages. Comics 2 – 6 also target the same age group.

My romantic comedy novel The Taming Of April is targeted toward adults. If it was a movie it would be rated R. Sex “talk” and teasing but defiantly not pornographic or what some people call “spicy”. The Taming Of April is sent to be published in March of 2023.

As you can see, books, comics, and novels can all target different audiences and different age groups. If you want to sell your books to that age group you have to know who your target audience is.

Tercona News #24

The Taming Of April will be published!

As most of you know I was running a Kickstarter for my book The Taming Of April. However, my Kickstarter failed.

For the past few weeks, I’m been a little depressed and feeling down. I felt like a failure. As of today, I’m done feeling that way. It’s time to move forward.

My first comic con of 2023 is Fan Expo Cleveland in March of 2023 so as of right now, my new publishing date for The Taming Of April is March of 2023.

Finally, the Taming Of April will have over 60 chapters. If you want to read the first 3 chapters click – HERE.

Tercona News #21

My Kickstarter for The Taming Of April has FAILED!

Ok…truth be told, with only 6 days left I canceled it. I canceled it because I only had $350 (which is only about a 1/4 of the way to my goal.) and I knew that I would never in a million years be able to get the rest of the funding ($650) in only 6 days!

For the record, the book was going to be published in June of this year but I listened to everyone’s advice and put the book on the Kickstarter instead to make the backers feel special that they go it first. But now that the Kickstarter has failed, I’m kicking myself for not having copies of the book to sell at comic cons this year.

My plan now is to publish this book in March of 2023 and make it available for the first time at my first comic con in 2023, Fan Expo Cleveland.

Thank you to everyone who funded the Kickstarter and helped me out. Even though it failed, I really appreciate what you did. Thanks!
