Hey there, Monkey Maids backers!
I'm so, so happy to tell you that the audiobook of MonkeyMaids has been distributed!
I can't wait for you to hear my reading of this adorably weird little book. I had so much fun recording it!
How to Get Your Audiobook:
Where to find it:
You should have already received an email with the link to download it. Just open that up, follow the link, and off you go!
The file you'll download is a .zip folder, which contains compressed versions of the audio files. Once the .zip folder is downloaded to your device, you'll need to extract the .mp3 files.
This process may look different depending on whether you're an an Apple or an Android/PC, but it should go something like this…
Right-click on the .zip folder
Choose "Extract Files"
Decide where you'd like those files to live, then extract them.
The resulting .mp3 files will be available for you to listen!
If you have any difficulty with this process, let us know! We'll be happy to help.
I hope you enjoy the audiobook! Please share your thoughts when you're done listening!
And then I've got something new for you to check out…
Oneshi Press has just launched its thirteenth anthology of short comics on Kickstarter!
This 140-page book collects 18 short comics about team-ups from 30 diverse international creators.
From crime fighters to villains, from kittens to aliens, from best friends to mortal enemies, the Cohorts Anthology explores the friends we make along the way in stunning art that you'll love!
Our goal with this campaign is to raise enough money to print and ship the book to backers…
…and then to go above that goal and split our profits amongst the creators whose work makes up the book!
So, if you or anyone you know enjoy thoughtful, progressive, gorgeous comics…
(Pro tip: Watch the video to the very end for the blooper reel!)
Thanks so much for your support!

Once a year, people gather at the crossroads to celebrate SpookyFest, a carnival that brings together all sorts of scary characters, creatures, attractions, and more.
SpookyFest is a 5th Edition D&D compatible roleplaying zine that offers a unique spooky setting, including NPCs, magical items, and creepy monsters. Whether you use this zine to build an adventure, or you pick and choose which elements you want to incorporate into your existing campaign, there is something here for every D&D player.
Rising Sons Hospice is found in every country in the world. Its purpose, like every hospice, is to help those who need it to crossover to the other side. However, this hospice specializes in a special kind of crossing over. When someone who has been evil in life is in the final days, they come to Rising Suns Hospice to help with final transitions. These evil men and women have many times become possessed by a demon in life. The demon stays in the human, and it incubates and grows as the person does evil deeds. When the evil person's life ends, the two switch place and one crosses over to the spiritual realm and the demon crosses over to the physical realm.
Sara had planned on going to Mexico. She wanted to escape the darkness of her past, as it only brought on desperation. She needed to escape her country, as it was being drowned in madness. San Diego was her final destination before crossing the border, and the only thing standing in her way was a war zone.
With the borders closed, and the city in flames, Sara is meeting with violent attacks around every corner. Will she find refuge from the battle, or will she get swept up with the wind of revolution?
