Steadfast&Loyal wrote us yesterday about the novel he’s writing, and he wants you guys to take part in the venture;<\/p>\n
[M]y…goal is to be an author and well….my first book is just about complete and I am trying to raise money for it. My plan is to do it as an ebook, and self publish it through Amazon and Apple iBook store. I started a Kickstarter project (here is the link: http:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/1684113160\/a-soldiers-truth-my-first-novel<\/a>) to do so. Not sure if you know Kickstarter but it is a funding platform for creative projects. Everything from films, games, and music to art, design, and technology. Kickstarter is full of ambitious, innovative, and imaginative projects that are brought to life through the direct support of others. It is a great site, and has sucked me dry in projects I have supported….so if be careful (I am a geek at heart and LOVE board games).<\/p>\n
The book is about Eric West, a former SF NCO. His peace is shattered when he is framed for murder and for trafficking military weapons to foreign nations. On the run and suffering from Post Traumatic Stress after ten years in the Army Special Forces, Eric is forced underground. His back against the wall and his friends in danger, Eric stands up to the demons of his past in order to find out who was behind the murder and framing him. Eric\u2019s Special Forces training is the only thing keeping him from one step ahead of his enemies as he plays a deadly game of cat and mouse across the city of Detroit.<\/p>\n
What he finds is a conspiracy far larger then he imagined possible.<\/p>\n
I am already well into the novel, at the time of this posting about 70,000 words of an estimated 100,000. I write daily, minimum 2000 words (I can do more but I do have a full time job). I expect the book to be ready for publishing in 1 May 2013 and like I said out on Amazon and iBook Store. <\/p>\n
What am I asking? If you could just get the word out. Thanks!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So if you want to give him a kick start on his dream, throw him a coupla bucks at the link above. We’ve had some luck with this blog’s denizens helping veteran artists out on Kickstart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
