1906. San Francisco burns and Marshal Homer Faust must find his son... and all the while the brass golem lurks seeking his creator.
The Brass Golem is the first novel in my new golem trilogy and is already completed but I need your help to finish the other two novels. Your contributions will go a long way in helping me continue on my writing path. There are many obstacles that need to be overcome other than just writing the story. Paying my artist for the next two book covers for starters, as well as my editors and buying my novels ISBN numbers so that they can be sold online. I also have to buy copies and ship them to you my kickstarter supporters. The funds I'm asking for will go directly into the working progress of my books. Very little will go directly into my pocket and I will finally be able to pay my artist more than the pennies that I have been. She deserves more and I'm very excited to pay her what I actually think and know she deserves, which If I'm being truthful, probably still wont be enough.

Just writing the first draft is a struggle and very, very time consuming. Luckily, I've done it several times before so I feel as though I have a deeper understanding of what it will take to get my projects done. The cover art for a novel is always tricky but I've worked with my artist on three other projects so I feel as though we have a good understanding of what I want and what she can give me. I also have my brother who is a graphic design major and helps quite a bit with formatting my books and artwork. The biggest problem I face would have to be time delays, I may not like my first draft and have to rewrite it, or I might not like the way the art is going and have her start over, all of which can postpone a project. luckily, I can be working on the art from early on so even if she is delayed I should have more than enough time to finish my projects on time. My past experience writing gives me confidence that I can finish my projects by the dates I specified without sacrificing on the quality of the story. Once my project is funded I will immediately set aside all the money it will take to print and ship copies of the books to all my supporters. My number one concern will be getting the finished copies into your hands on schedule and on budget.
