Paper Copy of The Confederacy of Heaven

I’ve got some exciting news.

A graduate student from Spain and I have been working together for a few months now – she’s been using the text of The Confederacy of Heaven to make a mock publicity campaign for her thesis project.  Part of the project is to create a mock-up of a paper copy of the book.  She just sent me photos.

Needless to say, I’m pleased as all getout with what she’s done here.  And if you’re curious about the translation from Spanish, here’s a best effort:

Title:  The Journey to Calgary

Text on the back:  For two hundred years, the human race has been punished by the stars.  Since then, it hasn’t rained a single time.  The Earth is dying little by little, and the only one who can save the planet, Nasan of the Clan of the Rattling Bones, feels too lost to confront that task … alone.

Kickstarter campaign bonus rewards

We are go, I repeat, we are go for a bonus reward for the Ravensdaughter’s Tale campaign.  I’ve talked to Kelsey King about the possibility of using the extra Kickstarter money to commission cover art for one of my novels, Grizelda.  She sent me back some of her ideas here:

If the Kickstarter reaches $300 funding, I can commission Kelsey to make the cover art, and if that happens, all the backers will get a copy of the cover art along with their other rewards.  There are fifteen days left in the campaign and we’re already more than halfway there, so things are looking good.

… and Ravensdaughter’s Tale is 100% funded!

Wow, this is flabbergasting.  The campaign is only about half over, but I had a couple of people make big backings yesterday that put us over the top.

(For those of you who came to this blog just now, I’m running a Kickstarter campaign to make cover art for one of my short stories.)

What does this mean?  I can start aiming for one of the reach goals of the campaign.  I’m going to go talk to the artist I’m working with about doing more stuff, probably cover art.  If this project reaches one of its reach goals, everybody who backs it is going to get extra cool stuff.  More news when it’s ready.
