Shop at Amazon, Howard Gets a Slice of Pie Monday November 27, 2006

Just a quick reminder this holiday season -- anything you buy at Amazon.com on a visit that began with you following a link from Schlock Mercenary ( like this one!) will be credited by Amazon as a "referral" from yours truly. A referral, mind you, for which they will pay… Read more

Comic-con! I am SO there... Should you feel inclined to meet me, I'll be available for autographs, thrown money, and general bowing and scraping in the KeenSpot booth for at least four hours each day. The booth is at the opposite end of the building from Artist's Alley, along the… Read more

Writing For Charity: proceeds will buy books for kids Wednesday April 24, 2013

This Saturday, April 27th, I'll be at the Writing For Charity event on UVU campus at the Sorenson Student Center. My appearance, thanks to the ongoing health issues, will be "wan and shaky," and kind of short. And maybe brief. I'm going to pill up and power up for a… Read more

New Auctions -- Post from Sandra Tayler Tuesday April 15, 2008

I was clearing out our storage area, trying to make the job of shipping Schlock Merchandise run more smoothly, and I found a hidden treasure. There was a stack of numbered sketch editions of The Blackness Between. I had held them against damaged or missing packages and then they got… Read more

T-Shirt Pre-Orders Closing Soon Wednesday July 11, 2012

The t-shirt pre-order has gone well, but we have to close it by noon Mountain time on July 12th. Why? Because the clan Howard married into is having a family reunion, and we need to get the manufacturing run started before the weekend. You'll still be able to order the… Read more

Do You Design T-Shirts? Tuesday December 12, 2017

UPDATE: We have the applications we need! Thank you for your interest. Sandra and I are looking to engage the services of a designer for a new round of Schlock Mercenary t-shirts. This will be a work-for-hire project that pays a flat fee for each design, plus a slice of the… Read more

New shirts! Pre-order and get a discount! Monday July 9, 2012

Isn't that handsome! We'll be doing this as a discharge print, so the design will last as long as the fabric does. Discharge printing is where the color of the design is "bleached" out of the color of the shirt.  We'll also be doing this in both men's and women's… Read more

Merch suggestions? Monday April 21, 2008

Okay, I'm heads-down on book work, but no matter how fast I get this thing done, it's not going to be shippable to you until (*gasp*) AUGUST. In related news, we'll be cash-strapped starting sometime in June. This is okay. Ad revenue and other merchandise sales can pick up the… Read more

Wrapping Up The Holiday Sale Thursday December 30, 2010

We can tell it's been a frantic shipping season when the process of "handling" adds significant inventory to the "Scratch-and-Dent" pile. These books are guaranteed readable, with no rips, tears, or missing pages -- just an occasional scuff, scratch, ding, or dent that renders them unfit for full-price customers. Head… Read more
