That Man Behind the Curtain: April 2013

This last month saw a victory of sorts: I finally got Mad Scientist Journal up on Amazon. It’s a mixed blessing, as I’ll explain below. Otherwise it’s just another month in the word mines.

That Man Behind the Curtain: March 2013

Time flies when you’re stupid busy. March has been the Bataan death march of deadlines. But the Winter 2013 collection is out with (almost) no hitches. Lets look at some numbers.

That Man Behind the Curtain: February 2013

Hello mad science fans. A very quick and slightly belated post recapping the numbers from last month. I wanted to get the slush from the special call cleared up before posting this, just so I didn’t have to make some comment about “oh, well, these submission numbers aren’t complete because we have a bunch of [...]

That Man Behind the Curtain: January 2013

This is a little delayed as I wanted to use the first of February for posting about our special call for submissions. It’s been a crazy month, with a few more frustrations than we’re used to, but we have soldiered on.

That Man Behind the Curtain: December 2012

Hello. I’m back from a week long whirlwind tour of the Midwest. I fell a little behind on Mad Scientist Journal due to limited access to the Internet. So this is coming a little late and work on the Autumn 2012 collection is also delayed. We have some fun new stuff for this collection, though, [...]

That Man Behind the Curtain: August 2012

Sorry for the delay. Yesterday was an adventure in health. So you get this the afternoon of the second. This month we get to look at our first full month of ad revenue, the biggest advertising budget to date, and our first collection out for sale. It all comes out a little depressing. Grab your hankies, [...]

That Man Behind the Curtain: July 2012

Hello again! July has been a crazy month between travel and trying to get the book together. Due to a combination of factors, it’s not ready by the end of the month as I’d hoped. But I’m hoping to have it up soon. I’ll also be putting out a call for submissions for our Summer [...]
