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.

Pre-order "UNHOLY PURSUIT-DEVIL ON MY TRAIL"
https://publishizer.com/unholy-pursuit-the-devil-on-my-trail/
To pre-order click the link above.
"Unholy Pursuit, Devil on My Trail" is very intense and emotional for my first novel. It goes along of the avenue of reality of everyday life but yet it is pure fictional. It tells of one woman's trials and tribulations; despite the heartbreak, abuse and betrayal she's still optimistic things will get better. The others books of "UnHoly Pursuit" series to follow concerns two of the same characters from "Unholy Pursuit, Devil on My Trail" and how they interact with the new characters. The entire work is a sequel, which means the reader can understand the present work without reading the first one.
"Unholy Pursuit" is a 300 page novel which features total hellish havoc when the leader of the satanic world, the Grand Wizard of the earthly dark forces unleash his hellish rage against her and all that is good and put in motion the coming of the New World Order. It has been called by one reader who read the first two parts "startlingly innovative. Some thing to make you ponder." In this narrative, Ana's role is to defend herself against her supernatural opponent. But he is who really runs the world and all the world follow his lead. It is a dark fantasy which revolves around the attempt of one woman to take back her life, home and sanity from ruthless, dark invaders.
This immortal is a master at cloaking in the spiritual realm closest to earth. He is observing Ana as she pulls Trusty into the parking lot of her dilapidated apartment building. He has heard about her through the celestial grapevine and came to see who has the darkforces britches tied in a bunch and why? Seeing nothing exciting or abnormal about her. He lost interest and continue his way in the Neutral Zone.
A demon is sent to spy on young Ana at school. No one else see it but her.
The Great War in Heaven. The start of all of humanity's problems. This war spilled over into every existing world and realm. Earth did not escape it.
Lilith's daughter, a character that will be introduced in a later book.
A Nazarene Warrior pursuing an enemy in the Wastelands.
