bone walker kickstarter

I hit funding several days ago, but now my Kickstarter’s finally about to run out! 29 hours to go as of this writing!

So here’s my last call, folks–if anybody wants in on the second edition of Faerie Blood + first release of Bone Walker goodness, now is the time! And here is the place:

Cracked 50K on Bone Walker yesterday and will be making a hard, hard push to get it to JoSelle for editing by the end of this month. Artist Kiri Moth is researching sketching for my character Elessir for the Bone Walker cover and I cannot WAIT to see what she does with him, or to deliver these books. 😀

As with Great Big Sea fandom, there’s always room for more! So jump in if you feel inclined, signal boost out to appropriate channels, and let’s see how far I can run this thing up before the clock finally runs out!

Thanks very much to all who have already supported, and thanks for anything y’all do!

Put up update #31 on the Kickstarter today, laying out a rough schedule for when backers can expect to get Faerie Blood, Bone Walker, and the rest of the shinies involved with the project! Clickie!

And there’s still time to jump in if you want–but time’s running out! Four days and change left. This weekend will be the last chance to dance, O Internets!

I woke up this morning to discover that backer #115, Adila, has pushed us over the $4,500 mark! This means, ladies and gentlemen, that Dara and I will therefore be officially deploying the soundtrack for all backers at $25 or above!

This is great news for the final week of the project! But don’t forget, we still have about six days left–and if we make $5,500, I will be deploying Book Three as well to all backers who chose a reward tier that gets them Books 1 and 2! (In other words, the $20 level for both ebooks, or the $50 for both paperbacks!)

So keep your signals flying all, and let’s see just how far we can take this thing in the project’s final days. Thank you, thank you all so much, for your support. I really hope you’ll like the stories–and the music!–that Dara and I will be able to give you now!

Always room for more backers, right over here! 😀

Picked up quite a few backers over the weekend, even after the project rolled over into full funding! YAY! \0/

Opening up nice and strong this week, with just over a week to go, and we are a scant $163.77 to go until Dara and I can offer the Faerie Blood and Bone Walker soundtrack. With that in mind, I’m delighted to report that Crime and the Forces of Evil have released a new album today called Cracksman Betty, which should give y’all good idea of the sound we’ll be shooting for with the soundtrack!

Cracksman Betty has less trad than the soundtrack will, and there will of course be a fiddle on the soundtrack album. But this one’s also got a guest appearance by Leannan Sidhe, and I’ll particularly call your attention to tracks 1 and 5, where Dara’s lyrics and energy there will be forerunners of the original material she’ll be cooking up for the soundtrack. Plus, her writing of trad for an alternate timeline that never happened pleases me greatly, since that’ll be really rather what she’s doing for my books!

So go check out Dara’s post about the album and then go check out the album itself. Let Dara know what you thought! And stick out, ’cause really, she’s only just getting started!

Meanwhile, for everybody else, I can also report that I’m now about halfway through the Bone Walker manuscript, and now that Kiri’s finished the Faerie Blood art, I’m in talks with her about what to do for the Bone Walker cover! More news on this as events warrant, and you guys will get to see character sketches of Elessir as the Book 2 art develops. I can’t wait to show him to you!

As always, thank you all very much for your support!

As I sent out in my last Kickstarter update, I’m thrilled to announce that we have now achieved $4,000 and FULL FUNDING!

Accordingly, as promised, here are the next sample chapters of Faerie Blood and Bone Walker!

Faerie Blood Chapter 4

Bone Walker Chapter 4

Since the project is now fully funded, these will be the last of the sample chapters I’ll post! But we do still have eleven days to go, so there are still teasers I’ll be able to share with you–and on Monday, Dara and I will have a music announcement to share for those of you interested in the soundtrack!

Several of you have sent kind congratulations over Twitter or Facebook or in email, and thank you all very much for that! Thank you also for your support and your boosting of the signal!

And remember, if you still want in, there’s still time! There’s always room for more in this kitchen party, up until May 16th! Grab a chair, raise a jar, and join us! Only $358.77 to go until Dara and I can deliver the soundtrack to all backers at $25 or above!

GRACIOUS, a LOT of new backers have come in today! I’m thrilled to announce that we’re at 96 backers now with 94 percent funding!

Only four backers to go until somebody else gets a free ebook copy of the original, Drollerie edition of Faerie Blood, which will cease to be available once the Kickstarter is finished and I deploy the ebook of the new version out for sale! The changes in the text between versions won’t be huge, but they will be there, so hopefully it’ll amuse sharp-eyed readers to find where the changes are.

And only a scant $215.77 to go until full funding of the project! At that magic $4K mark, I will post Chapter 4 of both novels. AND, whoever gets me over that line, remember, is going to get an automatic bump up two reward levels!

AND, because we’re getting down to brass tacks here, people, a note about stretch goals!

As previously announced, if the project cracks $4,500, Dara and I will be offering the Faerie Blood and Bone Walker soundtrack to all backers at $25 or above!

And now I will also announce that if we crack $5,500, I will also throw in Book Three to all backers who have put in for any reward tier that gets them Books 1 and 2–that’s the $20 reward tier for both ebooks, and $50 for the tier that gets you both ebooks and both paperbacks! Book Three will take longer to deploy, because I haven’t even finished Book Two yet–but trust me when I say that that book will be chock full of Christopher-backstory, visit-to-St.-John’s, musical and magical goodness! And if you’re liking Kiri’s gorgeous, gorgeous cover art for Faerie Blood, just imagine how she’s going to draw Elessir and Christopher for the second and third books!

If you want in on the race to the finish line, clickie! Every little pledge will help get us there! No matter what the size of your pledge or the range of your signal boost, thank you, thank you ALL, for the support love you’re showing today. Let’s see if we can get this ship home!
