Really, I'm curious! I've got a lot of lurkers and I'm curious.

But first, what's in this update:

Shapeshifters live longer than humans, so don't be shocked to find out that Delia was in her fifties when she gave birth to Jonas.

She also ended up almost killing her ex-husband because when Jonas was very young, it became obvious he'd be the next Alpha and that triggered something ugly in his father, Magnus.

Jonas absolutely adores his mother and she loves him right back.

Shooting for $6k

If we hit $6k in funding, I'm getting Blue Raven Books to design the book jacket. Look at some of these designs!

I didn't think I knew what I wanted but I have an idea in mind now and I think it will be amazing. But we need to get over $6 to make it happen.

Why Backerkit and Crowdfunding?

I know a lot of people are curious as to why I've moved to crowdfunding after so many years of...not.

Well, the industry is changing. I haven't had much success trying to sell that last couple of ideas I've had to my traditional publishers. And frankly, indie publishing is hard. If you don't line up everything just right, it can be hard to make even more than a couple of hundred dollars on a book.

And...frankly, even when you do, it might not happen. I mean, can you imagine working for months and months on a project and your paycheck turning out to be no more than a couple of hundred dollars...and that's after you've invested money into it?  

Crowdfunding will allow an author to create interest in projects, generate funds and revenue on special editions of older books, like I did with Blade Song, and build up interest for new projects like I'm doing with I Choose the Bear.

This could be one of my biggest books to date--at least, I'm hoping so. And I'd love for you to join me on the journey.

For the lurkers

If you haven't backed the project, would you take a minute and answer my poll? I'm curious about why. Nobody will contact you! I just want to know if I can entice you... because I'm all about enticement!
