What is this?

This is the third book in the Eden Kane series that began with Sky Pirates of the Rio Grande and continued in Queen of the Sky Frontier.  Now the epic story moves into high gear with this concluding chapter!

In 1867 Eden Kane left her job at the Smithsonian and headed West, intending to find the fabled Dark Aetheric Transmitter and become an agent of the government.  Instead, she became a leader to the Brethren of the Sky - the airship pirates who control the western frontier.  The following year, she faced her greatest danger as the former Confederate General Hood plotted to become the overlord of the west and destroy Washington D.C.

Now, with three of his superior air-warships at her command, Eden has become a power to be reckoned with, and as the forces of a weakened government and scheming robber barons converge on the frontier, she must find what course she intends to steer, and hold to it.  With her constant companions - the Experimental Zenobia Santiago and Diamondback Sally , Eden must try and carve out the destiny of the Brethren in the West - the Graveyard of Empires.

• This is our 12th Adventurotica title produced by two award-winning authors.
  
• We use the funding for these campaigns to live.
• You will help keep us alive and fed, and also contribute to the creation of awesome sexy adventure fiction.

We are artists who live by what we do, and this is how we make our way.  It does not pay much, but it allows us to keep doing what we love.

What We Need:

Here is how we will spend it:

• Materials for the incentives. All that fun stuff has to come from somewhere!
• Living expenses. Food, bills, and a roof to turn away the life-leeching rays of the blazing hatestar – sorry, the sun. We have this annoying hierarchy of needs thing going on. Damn you, Maslow!
• Medical care. Writing all these naughty words can be dangerous, you know. Paper cuts, repetitive stress injuries, tragic Hitachi accidents . . . it's a brutal line of work. (Have you ever tried to get lube out of a keyboard?) No, seriously, some of us need to be medicated for the public good.

And there you have it. Most of it is going towards keeping us alive. Is that exciting? No! But we have to stay alive to write smut. Contrary to what you might think, zombies don't write very interesting sex scenes. It's just a lot of moaning and cannibalism.

What Happens:

We post the book serially on our site. This will be our 12th novel, and we've never failed to post three serial updates a week. We are reliable. The story will be finished on time. It is projected to run between 45 and 50 chapters, and should be between 125,000 and 150,000 words.

• Memberships to Adventurotica will be available for use immediately, meaning you can follow along there, three times a week, until the story ends.
• If you've bought yourself any sort of walk-on role or bonus scene, that will obviously come out with the ebook.
• The ebook won't come out until after the book has been published in serial form on Adventurotica.com. You'll be able to read it at Adventurotica the entire time.
• Print books will be released as soon after the ebook as possible.
• Production of material incentives will begin after the campaign ends.

If we don't make goal, we'll still be able to provide the perks for everyone who did donate, and we'll do the best we can on what we get.

The Impact:

This is the part where we're supposed to explain how our project is valuable to you and to the world. No pressure. I'd love to claim that our project will bring about world peace by making sure nobody has a hand free to pull a trigger, but that seems unlikely.

• What we can do is make people happy. Have a good time. Bring something that is unreservedly fun into the world, just because it belongs here.
• Erotica is an important genre, and we want to make it a better, more entertaining place. Bottom line, people often complain, with good reason, that good erotica is difficult to find. That most of it is poorly-written. That the characters are flat. That the sex is boring. That it doesn't tell an interesting story.
• We want to give readers entertainment for adults, not just adult entertainment. There is a dire shortage of well-written, fast-paced, plot-heavy long-form erotica. We want to write a book that provides you, the reader, with a well-told adventure story that doesn't fade to black just when things are getting good.
• We want to encourage independent erotica publishing by being part of it. By publishing independently, we are freeing ourselves from the restrictions placed on authors by publishers; restrictions on content, on length, on ratio of plot to sex. We aren't breaking rules. We're stepping outside of them. We're doing our own thing, our way. And you can help!
