As of late last weekend, my Kickstarter PRELAUNCH page is open for The Dark Blade Trilogy! Woohoo!!!
What it looks like so far:

Some Q&A:
- What does this mean when book 1 is already out?
- Book 1: Dark Blade Forged is getting a new book cover.
- I’m inserting a new map of the world of Aramatir into the book.
- Some interior design elements will be added with the Kickstarter.
- Books 2 and 3 will be coming with the Kickstarter at the same time.
- What is a prelaunch and why not just open the campaign NOW?
- I repeat, books 2 and 3 will be coming with the Kickstarter at the same time.
- As of now, Book 2 is finished. Book 3 is in fast draft mode, and it isn’t finished quite yet.
- The prelaunch window of four months gives me time to get all of my quacking wild ducks in a row.
- The prelaunch window hopefully is time for getting interest from possible backers when readers click that “NOTIFY ME upon launch” button.
So, you might wonder, what you can do to help me find success with this Kickstarter?
- Click that Notify Me Upon Launch button, please.
- Sign up for my newsletter for more updates – although yes, I will give some here. I will be sharing the story behind the story of the books in 12-ish installments.
BTW – note that there will be swag, even bookmarks. And despite my allergy to creating good bookmarks, I think I finally designed one I like:
