What is Kickstarter?
For many authors, both independent and traditional, Kickstarter has become a great place to launch new books and special edition books. When I run a campaign, backers (readers) can purchase a digital book or a print book before these items go on sale in other retail outlets. Also, there are often extras like bookmarks, stickers, digital character cards, digital maps from the story, and PDF coloring books. If you want, you can check out my previous campaigns for Valiant here and Fathom here.
EMPIRE OF RUIN is a new book and the launch will be done on Kickstarter in 2024. Look below for a sneak peek preview of the first chapter and some of the color illustrations that will be in the hardback. Stretch goal for this book include: Gold foil on the dust jacket, 2-page color map, select 2-page color illustrations, and a 2-page color spread of character cards. LEFT: Charlotte Buchanan, the main character and the narrator in EMPIRE OF RUIN. She lives in a small village in the Appalachian Mountains and the book is told in her unique Southern voice. |
