Kickstarter Campaign Take 2 🎬

As I mentioned in my last blog post, I ran a Kickstarter campaign to make my novel Angel from the Rust into an audiobook. The campaign failed.

Depite this failure, I’ve gotten back on the proverbial horse and I’m running the campaign again–with significant improvements.

Here’s what the new and improved campaign looks like…

 

Welcome to my Kickstarter for my novel Angel from the Rust!

With the support of backers like you, I plan on making my novel into an audiobook.

The novel is complete and 100% written and edited.

I plan on releasing the novel at the beginning of 2023. It will be available as an ebook, paperback, and hardcover. If enough funds are raised, I will be able to hire a narrator and release Angel from the Rust as an audiobook.

First, let’s take a look at where the story takes place…

 

The World

Angel from the Rust takes place in a distant future Earth turned medieval. Where the technology of the past is feared as forbidden magic. And where past biological experiments prowl the land as dragons and other once-mythical beasts.

Based on the maps below, can you guess where the story takes place? Hint: it’s somewhere in a land formerly known as the USA.

 

The Story

The story is 116,000 words, and the audiobook will be approximately 13 hours in duration.  It falls into the sci-fi genre. As for subgenre, I’m putting it in Sword-and-Circuitry (a category title I kind of made up) — where the world is medieval (hence the swords) and the “magic” is forgotten and/or forbidden technology.

Angel from the Rust can be read (or listened to) as a stand-alone story; there are no cliffhangers at the end. But it also serves as the first book of a six-book series. (Kind of like how Mistborn: Final Empire and The Hobbit can be read on their own but serve as the beginning of their respective series.)

My hope is to bring this story to life with audio. I’ve come to Kickstarter to make that happen. As a “thank you” for the support of my backers, I have some great rewards in store…

 

The Rewards

 

The Tiers

The tiers hold a variety of combinations of rewards. Check out the tiers and find which one you like most.

 

Note on tiers with paperback and hardcover rewards: I will be using a print-on-demand service that will ship to the US and certain countries. If your package ships outside the US, you will be responsible for any tariff, customs, and/or VAT taxes.

Note on tiers with course rewards: If your reward tier comes with access to one or more of my writing courses, you will receive a coupon code(s) that will give you free enrollment in my course(s). These coupons last for only one month (31 days), so it will be your responsibility to redeem the coupon before expiration.

 

Stretch Goals

If my campaign goes over my funding goal, the extra funds will go towards promoting Angel from the Rust and the editing and cover design of the next book in the series, Desert of the Beast (the first draft is already finished).

If we exceed certain amounts, I have some great stretch goals in store…
