Thanks
for having me as
your guest today, Elizabeth!
It's the spooky time of year, autumn, and
I think it's a perfect time for me to work on a set of shiver worthy stories...
This
coming year, I’m
doing something different—a Kickstarter project.
I really enjoy writing
serials, and I like
rolling them out as
serials were meant to
be done: in quick
succession. These are mini-stories with
cliffhangers at the end.
They compose a larger
tale—in this case,
a spooky one set
in the mid-1800s that
follows the inhabitants of
the Sorrowmoor estate. I love
to include all kinds
of gothic romance tropes
in my work like
secret chambers, diaries, curses, ghosts,
spooky graveyards, family secrets, heroines
in distress, Byronic heroes, and
more. If that's your
speed, I think you'll
enjoy these serials.
The
goal I’ve set
for funding for the
project is where it
needs to be to
cover the rewards, cover
art, editing, formatting and
other expenses. And it is
pretty reasonable for a Kickstarter
project goal from what
I can tell. I
want to have enough
money to complete the
project in a way
I’m happy with
and in a timely
manner, and most importantly, to
give value to readers.
That
isn’t always possible
unless as an author,
I have control over
the publishing process. That’s
where my project, Sorrowmoor, comes in.
I’m planning at
least twenty historical gothic
romance serials over the
course of 2013. My
motto is under-promise and
over-deliver in terms of
what I’ve outlined
for the serials. So,
it’s likely I’ll have more
than twenty serials or
that they’ll be
lengthier than the minimum
of 2000 words each.
These will land in
backers’ inboxes (unless backers
don’t want them
in that format), and
I’ll also put
the serials in a
combined e-book edition with
a fabulous cover and
a print edition that
looks equally great. I’m planning lots
of other cool stuff,
too!
So,
how can you get
some good reads and
back the project? If
you have a dollar,
that’s a start.
There are all sorts
of levels to back
Sorrowmoor, so
please take a look.
If you don’t
like gothic romance (which
is romantic suspense, just
with paranormal elements), you can support
the project and gift
your rewards to a
friend who will enjoy
these serials. It’s
like a year-round Christmas
gift. :o)
I
appreciate the backing I
have so far, and
I’m really excited
about this project! Check
it out if you
have a minute, and
tell a friend who
might enjoy reading these
stories. You can see

Thank
you all for reading
and supporting my endeavors as
a working writer! :0)
