The cover of my novel releasing in May.
Inspiration comes in many ways. The motivation to write on a subject. Enjoying your own writing, this last chapter, I keep reading thinking I didn't write it. After reading it again, I still love it.
My goal is showing up at a book festival and be one of the headline authors.
A James Bond type thriller, taking a trip around the world to find Moneypenny.
A similar story to Lee Child's Jack Reacher
Why not explore the idea of what would Bond do if Spectre kidnaps Moneypenny?
An all out brawl in a restaurant and a woman laying on the floor unconscious... what would you do?
Selling a book is not as easy as it looks.
Book Launch weekend. Hopefully selling copies.
Final Week!
The Kickstarter is winding down, and I’m full of gratitude for those who’ve backed my vision for this independent dark science fiction project. Of currently-active Fiction Publishing projects on Kickstarter, “Color of a Mirror” is the 9th most-funded. In the world. That’s absolutely incredible to me!
Why, then, is the project not yet funded?
Well, largely because I’m not content with producing a hardcover or softcover book as cheaply as possible. I want this book to be a work of art in and of itself, to feel like it came from a big-name publisher, despite me being just one person. I want to work with a printer that strives for that same type of quality in the options they offer, that gives me the ability to customize this book in a way that makes it sing.
Beyond that, however, I’m also trying to do a limited pressing of a vinyl for the soundtrack. All my metrics for how big a run to do of these various items to make them cost-effective, cross-referenced with a feasible amount of money to raise, has landed me on the $15,000 mark.
(I’m encouraged that there’s currently a novella project from an established, published author that had a goal of $10,000, making me feel like my higher goal was not so far off.)
This may be a bit of a ramble, but I hope it’s an honest look at how I’m thinking about this project, and what I’m trying to achieve.
There’s still time to back! No matter the tier you choose, every little bit helps. It’s going to take a mega-surge this final week to get to fully-funded, but I whole-heartedly believe we can get there.
Ends the day after Cyber Monday, in celebration of the cyberpunk story that it is.
Now, let’s go get higher on that most-funded list!
