On tonight’s episode of the Mosaic Ark, the ladies welcomed BasedCon founder and author Rob Kroese to talk about his latest Kickstarter (his fifteenth!) for his new book series, Ransom’s Law, which he described as a space opera where Better Call Saul meets The Expanse. Rob is a prolific writer who has authored thirty-six novels in a variety of genres, both humorous and dark. In addition to the Kickstarter, we also talked about Rob’s creative process, how everybody hates marketing his own work, and Rob’s spooky habit of writing somewhat prophetic story lines. This stream wound its way to 2 hours and 30 minutes, but be sure to catch the last hour, as for some reason the crackling noise that had plagued Rob’s audio mysteriously stopped and it became perfectly clear (we think the kind words spoken about AI may have placated our robot overlords). Please leave your thoughts in the comments, and if you can, help support Rob’s Kickstarter; he’s a great storyteller. —Streamed June 26, 2025
