Be Part of Viper’s Journey: The Wrath of Atticus Kickstarter BEGINS Apr 11th

Viper’s Journey in The Wrath of Aticus is missing one thing: YOU!

You love to escape the stress of every day life by reading about rich worlds and compelling stories. My Kickstarter campaign is your ticket to the magical history you didn’t know existed with a compelling, villainous heroine as your guide.

 

Viper and The Wrath of Atticus shakes up everything you thought you knew about fairy tales and the history of Britain. Experience the joy working directly with an author as you back my project and celebrate how you love to get away from it all. My Kickstarter is a pre-order with benefits.

What is the money for?

My Kickstarter raises money for the final edits by award-winning editor, teacher, and author Nina Munteanu. Since the story is complete (except for your participation), there’s little risk to you of the novel not making it into your hands.

What are the rewards for supporters?

Face off with Viper and her powerful magic. Will you narrowly escape? Or perhaps you’d rather be an agent for Queen Elizabeth, figuring out mysteries from the safety of the Crux. Receive backer-only rewards like an author commentary and excluded chapters that will never appear in print.

I collaborated with talented artists like Kalman Andrasofszky, Mirella Santana, and Clinton Cronk, to bring you awesome tier-specific perks and backer-only bonuses. Exclusive rewards, like being featured in a book with Viper, or having a working lunch with myself and Kalman, are limited. Plus, Kalman agreed to let one backer purchase his hand-drawn, black and white original of the portrait of Viper he created for my campaign!

In fact, I’m so pumped about this campaign, I’m offering EARLY BIRD gifts for the backers who jump on board first, custom-made vinyl stickers inspired by the series, as well as book lover swag. You’ll also have exclusive access to my creative process in behind-the-scenes tours and commentaries. The more people who jump on quickly, the more rewards I give out to say Thank You!

I’m so excited to bring you on board as a backer of my creativity!

How does it work?

Not everyone knows Kickstarter, so I’ll explain the short version. Kickstarter is a platform for creators and the people who want those projects to succeed. The format for funding is all-or-nothing, which means that if I don’t reach 100% of my $2000 goal, I don’t get any money from my supporters. Sure, book #2 will still come still out, but it may take longer to produce, and it won’t come with your backer-exclusive benefits.

But we’re not going to let that happen, are we?

When I go live on April 11th, check out my story and the rewards offered at each tier. Spend as much as you want. Share with other readers so you get the bonus rewards. Every dollar of my goal creates the story you deserve!

What’s the Story?

Immortal anti-hero Viper may have forgotten her past, but it’s about to catch up with her. Grudgingly obligated to help Queen Elizabeth II prepare for a prophesied war, Viper’s torn between helping her mortal allies and pursing her own, selfish interests. Visions of the past reveal that the mysterious Atticus has hunted Viper since the Iron Age, when Queen Boudica drove invading Romans from Briton. Before Viper uncovers the truth about Atticus, an assassin arrives from Veyandra, the Otherworldly home Viper has never seen. He gives her a warning she can’t ignore. Before the summer solstice, Viper must choose her path before new enemies determine her untimely fate.
