THE WARLOCK’S CURSE strikes at midnight

Yes! Tonight! At the very hour of midnight! I will click the bright green “launch” button and my Kickstarter to fund the publication of THE WARLOCK’S CURSE will go live. All will be revealed. All the deepest secrets and darkest mysteries that have surely been keeping you awake each and every night shall be made clear unto you.

At that time I will also download a list of all the current subscribers to my mailing list. Whoever on that list goes on to support my Kickstarter at any level (even a buck) will receive a special extra gift—and if you want to know what it is, you’ll have to check back after midnight. Don’t worry, I won’t keep you in suspense (gee, would I do that to you?) I’ll reveal it in my very first backer update.

Also (at midnight) I will be making public (on YouTube—and as the Kickstarter video itself) the book trailer/music video. Vamp rockers Igor Spectre kindly and generously allowed me the use of their song “Hope Chest” for this trippy little wander through the schitzophrenic realms of German Expressionism. And I had a lot of fun making it, even though it took almost 20 hours and my eyeballs were bleeding before I was done.

What else can backers expect to see in the campaign’s first seven days? Well, among other things:

The official reveal of artist Lee Moyer‘s incredible cover art, as well as a look at several other beautiful graphic elements and visual treats
Spotlight on development editor Juliet Ulman
A historical article on the fashions of 1910 (Bottom line: Enormous hats are to these books what bustles were to the last two.)
And, in the special secured backer-only area of my website, the book’s prologue in its entirety (Yeah, yeah. I know. You all hate prologues. To hell with you. Prologues are awesome. And this one’s good and bloody, I promise.)

So climb on board this crazy train and let’s take a ride. Is this train bound for Glory or bound for Hell? Is there an observation car? Do the conductors wear little hats, and is there wi-fi? I cannot say. I can only promise you that, like all train rides, it will make many stops in places you’ve never been, and you will not be allowed to get off and have a smoke.
