Matt and I discuss the relaunch of his Gunn Files series and how he's using Kickstarter to fund the project: ⁠⁠The Gunn Files Kickstarter

For authors, we delve into many of the nuances of running a Kickstarter campaign including how to decide on tiers and choosing your target.

If you're a fan of Men In Black-type stories, or the Dresden Files, why not check out his kickstarter?

As usual, there are also the Big Questions.

Books of his we discuss: The Gunn Files
