To celebrate the completion of the final edits of Mal Winter and the Last Titan and the completion of the publishing work, I'm sharing the first chapter of my next book. 

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Did I mention wow? 

I feel so blessed to be able to post that my KickStarter Campaign to publish Mal Winter and the Last Titan was a resounding success, with almost 200% of the target raised.
​ 
So what does that mean? Well it means I met my target goal and have now collected Pre-Orders for my book! The book is in the final stages of editing, with an intention to deliver copies hopefully in May or early June. 

Some of the big perks from this KickStarter campaign were that it gave me a chance to revise my first novel Mal Winter and the Cloud Runners, and I think it now represents a much higher quality of book and I'll be issuing unique bookmarks to all backers!

Can't wait to share further editing updates as they come AND more importantly, I can't wait to get the books into readers hands!!

Thank you to everyone who has already backed this project. Although we've now EXCEEDED 100%, you can still get your preorder from the Mal Winter and the Last Titan KickStarter page.

I'm happy to announce my stretch goal: a Charli bookmark. The quote will probably change, but the image I think looks pretty good. I'm going to push to get a proper bookmark with the tassles, so it's cool. Because who doesn't love cool bookmarks?

​Also, note that final artwork may vary...

So I've launched my first ever crowdfunding campaign, and yes I am nervous...and excited.

​You can find my KickStarter page here if you're keen to get your pre-order straight away. 

I have finished the sixth draft of Mal Winter and the Last Titan. Finally. 

No, it's not exactly finished. But I finally have finished the last rewrite so it makes sense and is consistent. The big hard work is done, and I am just excited to move onto editing! I'm expecting a May release!

So let's talk numbers!

Mal Winter and the Last Titan: Draft 6

Total words: 109,454

Total chapters: 34
 

So, last time I published I found some great early success, and then continued support (especially through schools that I talked at and did workshops with). And I wanted to be a bit bolder. Too bold? Mayhaps. 

I've been working on Mal Winter and the Last Titan for TOO LONG, and in an effort to push me forward, onto the next project, I've decided that I will be launching a KickStarter campaign. For those that don't know, KickStarter is an all or nothing model. So if I don't reach my funding goal, I don't get a cent...
