Book Printing… Eventually.

Alright as promised I have got some really exciting news for you all. First and foremost, writing on Dynasty 4 is progressing rather smoothly at the moment. I am close to 40 thousand words already and still going. My hope is that this continues and I finish it soon.

But in much bigger news, I am in the process of having all my books printed to be sold on amazon. Exciting I know. However I would never dream of printing my books before having them professionally edited first. But sadly I simply do not have the money for this. For the sake of easy math and easy averages I basically need $650 to edit each book. That’s $2,600 to edit every single book so far and that is not including the price for editing Dynasty 4 when it is done. And I am being really generous with those numbers so let’s say for arguments sake that it is an even $3000 across the bored. Yeah I don’t have that kind of money. Obviously.

Now normally I hate asking for money. Even the thought makes me feel sick. So please do not think I am trying to obligate any of you into giving me money. At the end of the day I am here to entertain you with my work and you pay me for that when you buy my books. That is all that I would ever ask of any of you. But I do know that there are some people that truly do want to help any way that they can so this is me giving them the chance and asking you all to help by hitting the donate button at the bottom of this page or going to the new donate page I have set up.

But please let me make this very clear. The money that you donate will only go to editing my books. If I raise enough money to edit all four of my books then all additional funds will go to the editing later books. None of this money will go to me directly. And I mean none. It will not even touch my bank account as it will all be stored on paypal.

I would also like to say that regardless of the funds that I do or don’t receive it is still my full intention to have all my books edited regardless and I am working right now to save up the money to do so. This is simply a way to help me speed up the process, nothing more. Basically as soon as I raise the money it is two weeks for the edit and then only a few days for the printing. In other words I can have the first printed copy out in less than a month once I have the needed funds. The cost of printing and having the books shipped is a small enough fee that I do feel I can cover that on my own as it is mostly print on demand and is a pay per order type deal.

The plan is to first edit Clockwork Immortal and have it printed. The hope being that the money received from additional sells will then go into the editing of the Dynasty Saga and so on. If Dynasty 4 is finished during this time then it will be the next to be edited and printed.

Now, I am just asking you to give me money. If you donate I am more than willing to give you all some rewards as thanks in return. The rewards are as follows:

$1: A thank you email from me. And my unending gratitude.

$5: You will receive a free digital copy of Dynasty 4 when finished.

$15: Free digital copy plus a paperback copy of Clockwork Immortal mailed to you. (If you chose you can hold off and ask for a copy of one of the Dynasty Books when they are printed.

$25: Dynasty 4 and 5 Ebooks for free when finished. As well as a paperback of Clockwork Immortal. (Or other book when printed.)

$50: Free Dynasty 4 ebooks and an autographed Hardback of Clockwork Immortal. (Only Clockwork Immortal as I do not know if I will ever make hardbacks of the other books.)

$100: Ebook of Dynasty 4 along with the next 4 ebooks that I write. The entire 5 book paper back collection of the Dynasty Saga sent to you as they are printed.

$500+: You will receive all ebooks that I write for free for life. Hardback copies of the Entire Dynasty saga as well as a Hardbacks of Clockwork Immortal. (Yes, if you donate $500 I will do a printing of hardbacks just to get you your copy.)

All ebooks will be sent to you in Epub format. This is what amazon uses and you should be able to read them using an amazon app or tablet. There are also countless free apps that you can download onto your computer or tablet that will allow you to open Epub.

I am open to a little bit of case by case discussion on the rewards. If you really want a Hard Copy of Clockwork Immortal and you donate $100 I am willing to say you can exchange your free ebooks for a hard copy or something along those lines simply email me and let me know. However I will never give a higher tear reward for a lower price. So if you want that hard back of Dynasty you have to pay at least the $50.

Let me just finish this up by saying thank you all. Regardless of how much money I raise I can say without a doubt that you are all the best. I am continuingly surprised by the love you have shown to me and my work. Every single time you email me asking questions or simply to tell me that you enjoyed my work fills me with joy. I read every single comment you guys make on places like Amazon and Goodreads. And I get excited, and nervous, every time it says that someone added my book. I will continue to write so long as you guys keep enjoying reading what I have written.

So once again, Thank you.
