Extra Life 2013 – Details for Game Day

November 1, 2013 Monica 0

Tomorrow is Extra Life marathon day. Me + a whole bunch of gamers from around the world will be aiming to play for 25 hours straight to raise funds for sick and injured kids. As promised I will be doing hourly updates on my progress, mental/physical condition, and what exactly I’m up to, but I won’t be doing them here.

The best way to follow along is to subscribe to my Tumblr (http://monicaskuebler.tumblr.com/) or to my Facebook fan page (https://www.facebook.com/deathofcool).

If you’d like to sponsor me (and help out the SickKids Foundation here in Toronto) – it’s not too late! – visit http://www.extra-life.org/participant/monicaskuebler

This is going to be fun… […]

Extra Life 2013 – Sponsor Me!

October 11, 2013 Monica 0

I realize this is hugely off-topic (and not related to the BLOOD MAGIC Saga in the least), but it’s something that I’m participating in and it’s a great cause, so I’m spreading the word any way I can. Including here.

Each year I attempt to participate in at least one charity event. This year, for the first time, I’ve decided to take part in Extra Life (at the advice of a beloved gamer friend), and will be raising funds for the SickKids Foundation here in Toronto, who do some very good work saving young lives.
On November 2nd, 2013, I’ll be participating in this huge worldwide celebration of the social impact of gamers of all kinds (from video games to board games and tabletop RPGs), and making an attempt to game for 25 STRAIGHT HOURS(!). On that day, I will be posting regular updates and photos to my social media accounts and Tumblr (http://monicaskuebler.tumblr.com/) reporting on my progress, and on what I’m playing hour to hour. Also, in the spirit of fun and getting my sponsors more involved, I’m taking requests! Which means if you want me to play something in particular (fine print: I must already own it or can play it for free), I will do so and live-blog the evidence. I’ve already had requests for “play something scary” and Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines and Mass Effect.

I have chosen a modest fundraising goal of $500, and it’s my sincere hope that you’ll find it in your heart to support my efforts with a pledge or one-time gift that will go directly to the SickKids Foundation. If you are interesting in sponsoring me in this (admittedly) insane challenge, you can do so at http://www.extra-life.org/participant/monicaskuebler […]

Good morning readers! This past week I’ve been wrestling with a wee bit of a dilemma. LETTERS FROM NEW YORK has grown into a much larger story than I expected when I first began it. […]

Missing in Action

May 10, 2013 Monica 0

Hello friends, readers, followers:
Long time no talk! If you’re wondering why, let’s just say it has been a pretty awful time for the Blood Magic creative team these last ten or so days. I personally got hit by a double medical whammy, of the sort that confines you to bed rest and multiple intrusive tests for days and days on end. And Jerry, our most awesome chapter illustrator, got hit by a truck – literally – resulting in a fractured sternum and multiple cracked ribs. So, if we’ve been off the map/radar/internet/Wattpad, that’s why. We’ve been laid up and in recovery.

That said, I’m almost all healed up now and Jerry is doing well too.

In much cheerier story-related news, I just locked the final edit of Letters From New York – Chapter 8 this morning, and it might be my favourite installment of this book yet. I’m expecting Jerry’s artwork to arrive on Sunday, meaning I’ll post everything Monday morning. And after that, we’ll hopefully be back on our regularly weekly schedule. Thanks again for bearing with us during this very difficult time. We haven’t forgotten you, I swear! I missed you all almost as much as I missed the act of writing itself, in fact.

I’m so happy to be healthy and back. […]

We’re Live!

January 24, 2013 Monica 0

Well readers, here we are. The new home of all things Bleeder and beyond. I hope you like it!

When last year’s serial grew from a one-off novel into a series, we quickly began to outgrow our original webspace, inspiring us to build this place. Letters from New York will be serialized here, as well this fall’s full-length Bleeder sequel, Ruler. It will also be the future home of the BLEEDERverse F.A.Q. and reader’s guide.

Most of the features (though not all of the early blog entries) have been carried over from the Bleeder website, and those of you not reading the series on an external site, such as Wattpad or Figment or Goodreads, should definitely bookmark this place. This is where it’s all going to happen.

Welcome! Please come inside. […]
