Swords & Heroes on Kickstarter

Swords & Heroes is a new anthology of sword and sorcery coming to Kickstarter on January 31. Click the "Notify me on launch" button to keep up-to-date on this exciting project featuring 12 great stories of heroic fantasy adventure, including tales by Adrian Cole, Charles Gramlich, and Gustavo Bondoni.

The ToC is complete and will be announced soon. Back the campaign and be the first to receive a copy of this antho before it hits the shelves later this year. Plenty of reward options starting at only $5.

Kickstarter Campaign Wraps Up!

Less than 3 days to go! Still time to back "Secrets & Scents" e-book for only $5 and receive a free bonus e-book - my two magical cat novellas combined into one - "Cat Potion No. 9" and "A Cauldron of Cats." Other add-on options available. Or if you like signed paperbacks or hardbacks, those tiers are available too! 

What's the advantage of buying a book via a Kickstarter campaign? Well, in this case, you get an early release of my latest novel before it gets wide distribution in December (via Amazon, B&N, Kobo, etc.). Second, you can get signed copies direct from me. It's fun to interact with project creators, at least I think so! 

 Generally, people who back projects on Kickstarter get the satisfaction of helping the author or artist or designer launch something new. It's a relatively new way to 'eliminate the middle-man' and support creators themselves. Thank you for considering backing my new cozy mystery! I appreciate your interest! Here's the link!

Almost Fully Funded!

My magical cat novella, Cat Potion No. 9 - a Mister the Magical Cat story, is halfway written. And the series itself is off to a great start. Thanks to you who have shown interest in and backed my first campaign on Kicstarter. As of this morning, it's 80% funded! Thank you so much!

If you want to know more, visit my Kickstarter page. But for now, here's a sneak peek at the opening scene. Just me writing some fun and whimsy. If a magical cat cozy is your thing, I think you'll enjoy this new series.

I guess click to enlarge. ;-) 

Here's the cover reveal. Still plenty of time to get rewards for helping bring this story and series to life!

Thanks for reading! - Lyn

Mister the Magical Cat

 Help Kickstart a Magical New Series!

Exciting news! I'm writing a series of cozy mysteries featuring Mister the Magical Cat. And I'm launching it on Kickstarter! Want to join the fun? You can back this project and enjoy some rewards at the same time. Visit my Kickstarter Project Page for details. (It goes live next week!)

What's in it for you? By supporting my first novella in this series, Cat Potion No. 9, you'll kickstart a whimsical adventure full of fun, felines, and friendship. (You'll also help pay for my cover art and, in a way, support another person's creative endeavors as well!)

Rewards for supporters...

Pretty simple structure: 

• $5 for an ebook (with a thank you acknowledgement)
• $10 for a paperback (US/Canada only, sorry!)
• $15 for both - plus a bonus ebook, Ma Tutt's Donut Hut!
• Here's a short video introduction. My first book trailer!

About the novella...

Mister the Cat is an ordinary orange and white tabby who happens to live in an unassuming small town with a middle-aged witch named Helga Snittlewitch. When one of Helga's potions goes awry, Mister discovers he has supernatural abilities - much to his feline friends' delight and his chagrin.

Trouble starts to brew when the local Witches and Warlock Guild finds out about his magical talents and threatens Helga with his disposal! Will Mister's magic save him or lead to his demise? 

How you can help...

Cat Potion No. 9 will be about 100 pages long (20,000 to 30,000 words). Think of it as a short novel with a complete story arc. Your support will provide the spark that gets the whole series started. Two additional novellas are planned and cover art secured. The Kickstarter Campaign will bring it to reality.

Would you consider backing this project? I think you'll enjoy the story. 

Thank you!
