Who Am I?
Hello, friends! I am Vera Nazarian,
writer, artist, creator of wonder, two-time Nebula Award Nominee.
You might know me as the author of the
humorous mash-up parody Mansfield
Park and Mummies, the first novel of my Supernatural
Jane Austen Series. Or maybe you’ve run into
one of my inspirational quotes that are all over the internet,
originally posted on my creativity blog Inspired.Us
and recently collected in The
Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration.
Maybe you’re a fan of my arabesque
“collage” novel Dreams
of the Compass Rose, or the cult classic epic
fantasy Lords
of Rainbow about an unrequited love in a world
without color (yes, it’s the original “fifty shades of grey,”
literally).
Yet again, you might remember me for
the strange mythic stories in Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Sword and
Sorceress anthologies. Or possibly, you’ve read my snarky pop
culture essays on various TV shows and entertainment subjects such as
True Blood, The Vampire Diaries, and Charmed, in
various Smart Pop anthologies.
It doesn’t matter! We’ve probably
“met” already, in one way or another. Now, let me share my
project with you.

Cobweb Empire is Calling You!
You are here because you genuinely loved Cobweb Bride, book one of the
Cobweb Bride Trilogy, my first new major novel in a decade, written and published with the help of another successful crowdfunding campaign.
It is an intricate
epic fantasy flavored by Renaissance history and the romantic myth of
Persephone and Hades in the Underworld, about death’s ultimatum to the world.
See the official
Cobweb Bride website for more description of this compelling book.
So you’ve read the first book of the trilogy, went a little
crazy—in a good way—and now you are dying to find out what happens next! What
will Percy do?
Well, get ready—in Cobweb Empire the stakes are now
twice as high! In a world where all death and dying has ceased, and only one
person can kill, everyone can only expect a miracle. But what if it’s just
the tip of the iceberg?
Empires clash, kings and emperors and gods vie for
supremacy, the living and the dead are at war, while love stories play out in
amazing directions, and new mysteries are born to blow your mind.
A new dark witch rises, and she will make your heart freeze
with her beauty and power….
I am currently in the middle of writing book two, Cobweb
Empire, and I cannot wait to share it with you!
If you liked the
first book, I promise you will love this one! And if you loved the first
book, you will be blown away.
What's Needed & What You Get
Cobweb Empire is scheduled for release on September
25, 2013, and I am sprinting to finish it in time. But all my resources are short! I desperately need your help!
In
order for this second book to be as professionally presented, edited and
packaged and promoted, I urgently need to raise $3,000.
Your money will go toward:
- Writing and office expenses
- Copyediting
- Editing
- Final Cover design
- Review Copies
- Business Software monthly maintenance subscription
- Promotional and advertizing expenses.
The reward structure is very simple—for anyone who
contributes at least $5, you will receive a copy of the finished
ebook edition of Cobweb Empire in any ebook format of your choice.
That’s a $1 savings off the retail price.
In addition, all contributors will be variously acknowledged
inside the book!
- $5 – Supporter
- $10 – Patron
- $25 and above – Benefactor
No need to contribute a huge amount, just $5 or a little
above will do. But of course if you really want to be generous in any amount, I
can only kiss you!
So that’s the fundraiser!
Short and sweet!
The Impact
Simply put, this will help me
bring the book to you as fast as possible, in the most professional
package.
It takes time and resources and sweat and basic work hours to make a book.
I am a full-time writer and publisher, and this is my day job.
Everyone needs to get paid for their
work, whether you are a factory worker, business person, an entertainer, a
computer programmer, a librarian, an accountant, a musician, a food industry worker, a contractor, a doctor, an artist, a teacher, a janitor, or a
writer.
Please help me help you start reading Cobweb Empire as soon as possible!
Other Ways You Can Help
Times are tough for everyone, and if you are unable to contribute with even a few bucks (believe me, I understand!), you can still help immensely, by spreading the word!
Tweet this campaign, post it on Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Goodreads, or your blog, and just make some good noise! For your convenience, be sure to use the Indiegogo share tools!
And that’s all there is to it.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, on behalf of myself
and the hungry cats!
