My Kickstarter is LIVE!

I just launched my Kickstarter for Tercona comic #7 – You Can’t Save Everyone.

This Kickstarter is to help me get funding for the printed copies of Tercona comic #7. The comic is fully done and ready. I just don’t have the money to have printed copies made. My goal is just $500. I’m really hoping to go OVER that amount and maybe hit $1000 but I’d be happy if this Kickstarter gets fully funded.

In case you didn’t know, most of the time, hard copy comics (the physical copies) are usually double the price of a regular comic because the creator is trying to make money for his Kickstarter.

On my birthday (April 15) you can get ALL 7 comics, the physical hard copy comic, for only $35. That’s the same price as it is when you buy it at a con.

ONLY on April 15th.


This Kickstarter ends on Sunday, May 14th.

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!

2 Months until Launch & Tercona Birthdays!

2 things in this update.

#1 – Every character in the Tercona world has a birthday. 2 characters in Tercona have birthdays in February.


Happy Birthday Tiffany Caldwell. (Feb. 2nd) Tiffany is the cheerleading captain at Bayville Heights High School. Wish Tiffany Caldwell a Happy Birthday!!!


Happy Birthday, Samantha Stern. (Feb. 11th) Samantha is a cheerleader at Bayville Heights High School. She’s stuck up and very selfish. Her parents own 6 businesses in town so she’ll probably get whatever she wants for her birthday. Wish Samantha a Happy Birthday!!

I now have 2 months to get at least 100 followers for my Kickstarter. Click the picture to follow the Kickstarter and be ready when it launches on April. 11th.

Kickstarter – comic #7 – You Can’t Save Everyone

As you know, I’m giving Kickstarter one more try. My newest comic is Tercona comic #7 – You Can’t Save Everyone.


After school, on a cool crisp fall day, Tercona is needed to save people from a house fire that just happens to be the home of Britney’s uncle. She must act fast to save everyone trapped inside because the structure is falling apart. Tercona finds Britney’s 10-year-old cousin Teodora and brings her to safety but when she returns to the burning building to save Teodora’s father, the unthinkable happens. The house explodes! Tercona learns that even superheroes can’t save everyone.


The good news is, I’ve hit my first 10 followers already! Thank you for the first 10 followers on my Kickstarter.

Yes, I know 10 followers are not very much but the counter doesn’t even register until you hit 10 so I crossed one small goal. Now to bring this number up more.

Kickstarter for Comic #7

As you know I had 2 failed Kickstarters. My first one in 2020 for Terconba comic number #3 failed. I was asking for $2000 and I only got $190. Last year, in 2022, I tried doing a Kickstarter for my book The Taming Of April. I was asking for $1000 and I only managed to raise $400 something by the last week so it failed too.

Now I’m giving Kickstarter one more try. (They say the third time’s a charm, right?) My newest comic is Tercona comic #7 – You can’t save everyone.

The comic is fully done I just don’t have the money to get copies printed off so this is where the Kickstarter comes in. This time I’m hoping to raise the minimum of $500 so I can get the find to print off copies of this comic.


This Kickstarter will launch in April so right now I just need followers! In 2020 I just launched without any followers. In 2022 I took 2 months to get followers and only got 45. This time I’m taking 3 months! From now (January 2023 – April 2023) That should give me plenty of time to get enough followers so I can have a successful Kickstarter this time. This time I’m really hoping to get fully funded within a few days. With enough followers, I can do that!

Tercona News #26

Should I try Kickstarter one more time?

Here it is, the middle of December and I’m still undecided if I should try Kickstarter one more time or not.

Comic #7 – You Can’t Save Everyone – is fully done but at this time, I don’t have the money to have it printed. This is why I’m thinking of doing another Kickstarter.

As most of you know, I’ve had 2 failed Kickstarters. One for Tercona comic #3 in 2020 and recently for The Taming Of April.

In 2020 for comic #3 I was asking for $2000 I only got $150 and for The Taming Of April I was asking for $1000 and I only got $400 something.

If I did a Kickstarter again, since the comic is already done, I would only need around $500 or less to get the money to get copies printed. Anything OVER $500 would be extra and it would also help me fund comic #8 too.

I’m really leaning in this direction. I want to give Kickstarter one more try but…I’m scared I’ll fail again!

I made a few memes to get people excited…if I do this. lol

If I did do another Kickstarter I wouldn’t start getting followers until January or February and I probably won’t launch until April or May.

I’ll make a final decision by the end of December. If I did a Kickstarter for comic #7 would you help fund it?

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!

Tercona News #16

** WARNING **

This post has NOTHING to do with Tercona!

The Kickstarter for my NEW romance novel called The Taming Of April is now in the pre-launch phase! (click the picture!)

Adam King must pick up the pieces from a hard breakup. He’s overweight, working as a farm hand and he knows his life doesn’t have a destination. As he slowly makes some changes to better his career goals and move forward with his dating life, he gets a haircut and encounters a hairdresser named April Bender.

Adam slowly finds out that April has a bit of a wild streak. She enters wet t-shirt contests, loves to skinny dip, and has sex with men on the first date.

Shocked and yet also thrilled by April’s erotic zest for life Adam realizes she doesn’t need a boyfriend; she needs a true friend. April is tormented by the demons of her past. Bad breakups, being raised by a single biker mom who loves to party, and having too many sexual partners before the age of 25. She has a very tough time letting go of her carefree promiscuous lifestyle. When her sexual outlook on life finally catches up with her, she realizes she must also make changes to better herself but is it too late? April fears she might lose the only man that has ever truly treated her with respect and dignity.

Entertaining, funny, and deeply moving, with just a pinch of sensual erotic fun The Taming of April is a romantic comedy story of how a man who was once a cowboy uses his skills to tame a wild woman.

The Taming Of April is a romance novel. If it was a movie it would be a rated R romantic comedy. Not Young Adult (not for kids) but it’s also not a spicy sexy romance novel either.

There will be a special variant cover that is ONLY available on Kickstarter. This special cover will have pictures inside the book.

The Kickstarter campaign launches on September 5th. I’m hoping to get 100 followers before then.
