Writing a novel is a lengthy process, but one I am getting better at. 

When entering Kickstarter I had completed my final draft of Mal Winter and the Last Titan. But that didn't mean it was finished. My Amazing editor Erin still had work to do, which means so did I. 

Her first task was a structural edit of the book. Which included some significant changes, including rewriting entire chapters, entire scenes and changing some fundamentals of the novel. All great things, and changes to make the story better.

Operation: KickStarter a SUCCESS!

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!!

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...
