Project Tempest: new podcasts, book giveaway

Hi everyone,

Project Tempest keeps growing as we take this mad little Kiwi town to the world!

Recent release Her Mad Song is finding readers in unexpected places including the Sudan, Brazil, and Poland. And our wider community of creators and makers are building wonderful things.

(the picture above of Jessica's Cottage is by Nikita Solo, our pixel art master in Russia).

This update we have two deep-dive podcast conversations from France and Ireland, and a free giveaway of the 1862 novella.

We also hope to have something interactive to share with you soon, once the monkeys with their wrenches have been sorted out.

I'd love to hear what you think of the podcasts, and if you have 30 seconds to spare you can especially help out by leaving a rating for Her Mad Song on Goodreads.

PODCAST CONVERSATIONS

The Project Tempest podcast is where we talk about creative journeys and what's on our mind.

A late night chat with French writer Sarah Beaulieu, recently announced as Associate Narrative Director on Assassin's Creed Valhalla at Ubisoft.

Author and publisher Jason Killingsworth talks about his personal creative journey through religion, journalism, Riot Games, and building Tune and Fairweather as a home for objects of strange wonder.
