Book Review for UnHoly Pursuit, The Devil on My Trail

A great story of saints, demons, spirits, good and evil set 500 years in the future. A 24 year old single mother with energy and a fighting attitude is always on the road fleeing malevolent forces coming after her. As she gives as good as she gets and always manages to stay one step ahead of her pursuers due to her inner qualities and a little help from above, the reader comes to realize that she is more than just a tough, strong woman fighting to save her family: she is a warrior called to battle to fight for the greater good . A good intro to the paranormal genre and for a perspective on what life will be like a half millennium from now.

Best,

In my previous post, I mentioned to talk about I’d launched my campaign a to fund this book.

In my previous post, I mentioned to talk about I’d launched my campaign a to fund this book. There’s a school of thought that says you want a substantial number of followers before you begin. I got that and they are now chewing me a new one. I went around to all my sites and collected the followers and they came to over 5,000.  Some may say, there’s an element of truth to both of these: what matters is not the number of followers, per se, but the amount of buzz surrounding a project. The number of followers a project has is simply one sign of overall popularity, but not a definitive one. But from the number of people who has been riding my ass I beg to different. I want to make this book a reality perhaps more than anything else.

This popularity matters–well, I should say it mattered, past tense, because Things Have Changed–because a funding campaign gives you a limited time to gather all these pre-orders. The more you can frontload a campaign, the further you can go. If you have a bunch of people ready with their credit cards the day you launch, that’s so many people you don’t have to chase after later on in the campaign, and that much more time you’ll have to go chase other people.

Now, here is where you all comes in. No authors can do it all by themselves no matter who they are. Even Shakespeare didn't do it all by himself. I need you all to help me to make this a reality. I need you all to help me get this in your hands and I promise you for the next 12 books you won't be disappointed.

But here’s a thought that struck me. Spending a lot of time picking up followers can also be counter-productive, because I can’t be certain that all these people are still going to be around if I wait six months to launch. Wouldn’t it be better to have the campaign already taking pre-orders, so people can order immediately instead of following now and coming back later–or possibly forgetting in the meantime? That's what I've done. I had that in mind ten years ago when I started writing the saga.

I determined that the way to have the best of both worlds was to set an extra-long funding period. The first six months of it would be more of family members were eager to jump in, and I started off with the bang that most people would have had to depend on a large following to get.

But, as I said, things have changed. The fan base is growing larger, mainly because this unlike any series you all have ever read. I didn't try to create aliens from another world or make up things you've heard of. I used everyday life to create a story about the end of days. I borrowed from the most popular book of all time: The Bible. Although, it's not a biblical fictional story.

Here’s an excerpt from a screenshot of my “edit” page. Yes, my main character has a crude mouth. No one is speaking proper when literally you've hellhounds nipping at your heel.
