Kickstarter Friday
Some Campaigns I Think Are Worth Backing Or Studying Or Both!
I do this every Friday when I have a few campaigns I think are worth putting here. And this week there are some great ones!!!
I will not say much negative about a campaign. If there is too much or it is going to fail, I won’t post it here.
And for those wondering where I get off judging Kickstarter Campaigns by fiction writers, I have now done 58 of them, every one funded and made money. My first campaign was in the very early days of Kickstarter. But if yoy are going to study campaigns that I have done, study the last year or so. I am continuing to learn.
And like some people browse and waste time on Facebook, I browse and waste time looking at campaigns on Kickstarter.

So to this week’s campaigns…
Rising Shadow: A Captivating Fantasy Kickstarter by Connor Whiteley
A spellbinding, tense, explosive fantasy adventure from an international bestseller.
Connor writes great stories, thrillers, mysteries, fantasies. And this one looks like another winner with some great art as well. Take a look. This one is worth both studying and backing. A good one.

Sherlock Holmes Mystery Annual by John Betancourt
Thrills, deduction, mystery, and adventure!
This is an amazing campaign with a ton of GIF images all the way through. This mystery annual is stories from the pages of the Sherlock Holmes Mystery Magazine that John does through his company. Back in the day, John and I worked together, my company Pulphouse and his company Wildside Press shared catalogs and a ton of other stuff. I have known John longer than I have known Kris. Yes, we are both that old. And unlike Pulphouse, Wildside has kept going all these years.
I have never written for the magazine even though I have done three Holmes short stories for anthologies. But it is a great magazine and worth getting.
Study this campaign and back it.

Skyship Pirate: Book Two of the Clockwork Kingdom Saga by Brigid Collins
A swashbuckling, high-flying fantasy adventure, lots of ladies with attitude, and a friends to lovers tale featuring an ace character.
This campaign will offer book one if you missed it combined with book two, and Brigid is one of the best fantasy writers working, so you can’t go wrong with this series. And some great art as well. Check out the promotions page and have Kickstarter remind you when this launches.

LAST STOP: YESTERDAY: Romantic Time Travel Book by Kathryn Kaleigh
All aboard for a railway to the past • Heartwarming • Timeless • Romantic • First in a series
Wow does this book hit all my reader cookies and I am really looking forward to it. And not only is Kathy a great storyteller and writer, but she has done over 40 of these campaigns and really knows what she is doing.
Get on the list to be reminded about this one and when it goes live, study it and back it. A really, really good one.
