The Story...

 

"I want to say it's a Thursday, and the middle of January. I'm not sure exactly because I haven't seen a calendar since the end of October. The one we kept in the apartment ran out, and all of the others have been destroyed in the effort to make sure all of us poor, inferior, humans, submit to the ways of the Achlivan. 
 
It took some time, but I think I'm finally able to accurately document everything that's happened in the past three months. For a while, I wasn't sure if I'd ever be ready.
 
I've seen things I wish I could forget, and as much as I want to just go along with the way of these aliens, I can't. Letting go of my past life is not easy, and I'm terrified of forgetting it.
 
Someday, the human race will be free from captivity, and when that day comes, they'll need to know what happened and how life used to be. They'll need to know that our species was once part of a thriving civilization. That's why I'm writing this."

 

A New Adult, Science Fiction, Adventure novel like no other.

Chevelle Donahue thought going into work would be just like any other boring day at the mall. Sure, there was her annoying co-worker Wicken Lyle, and a promotional visit from teen hearth-throb Timber Hudson to watch to keep her entertained. But who was she kidding? Retail was lame no matter what happened.

A terrorist attack changes everything - an attack from aliens of all things. The patrons are given two options: comply, or else. Complying means giving in to a new set of rules and changing her entire life. "Or else" means she has no chance of going home again.

With the help of Wicken and Timber, she must figure out the truth behind why the aliens are holding them hostage. In doing so, they risk their chance at freedom - but by then they might not want it.

 

Funding Updates:

 

4/3/13

Funds are coming in slow and steady. Thank you everyone for your support! I'm hoping to find some great perks to add to all of the funding levels! Keep sharing, and if you can give even just a little something, it'll go a long way!

 

What I hope to add:

 

- Stickers, bookmarks, and other small swag.

- The opportunity to give print books of my other works away.

- I'm a big fan of jewelry, plushies, and other random swag.

- Giftcards!

 

I'm also looking for street team volunteers! Ideally, there will be some kind of perk for doing that as well, like a copy of the book or something. :) People who are willing to help spread the word on the project, the funding, and after it is released get it promoted as well. Send an email my way if this is something you're interested in doing!

 

Now time to start a newsletter or something along those lines. :)

 

4/6

 

I'm not sure I'm updating this thing right. Hopefully? Not much else to share outside of the production aspect of the project is going very, very, well. I've got my editors all lined up, as well an amazing formatter! Everything is currently on schedule.

 

 

What happens with the funds and what you get:

 

So what is all this money going for:

Editing. Editing. Editing. (it's expensive! I'm estimating about $200-$300 will go to this alone)

Promo. Promo. Promo. (also expensive! This is also about $200 if I'm going to get good quality stuff)

 

I have some amazing people I will be working with to get this book finished and polished. Compensating them for their hard work is very important to me. The rest of the money is going to go towards making swag, getting print copies for giveaways, swag, swag, oh and swag! Also paying for book tours so people can win the swag! Lots of great things that cost a lot of money.

 

What's in it for you?

  • A copy of the ebook, no matter how much you contribute!
  • A chance to get a signed print copy.
  • Cool swag like bookmarks, t-shirts, and other e-books from my collection of works.
  • Whatever else I can come up with as the campaign goes on depending on how much funding I get.

 

Impact

Every little bit helps. If I don't make my goal, you'll still get all of your perks of course, and I'm still going to get this book done. However, it would mean the world to me to be able to do this and give back to everyone who's working so hard to make this happen. I want to pay it forward, pay it back. The book is a truly unique story, and dear to my heart. Basically, you'll be making someone's dream come true. And that's powerful, no matter how small the dream. 

Other Ways You Can Help

Share. Share. Share. Tweet it, facebook it, blog about it. Oh, and I'm looking for hosts for blog stops for promotion and a street team. Anyone who wants to offer those things, or other services, is more than welcome to email me for more information at jfjenkinswrites(at)gmail(dot)com.
