Desperate times...desperate measures are called for.

Angelia Sparrow is the author of twelve novels and over seventy-five short stories. She has been nominated for the Lambda Literary Award, the Gaylactic Spectrum Award and the Darrell Award. She's known for writing science-fiction, fantasy and horror, usually with a same-sex romance component and sometimes with BDSM.

And in 2012, she lost her job.

Right now, she's not quite making ends meet as an inventory clerk, a writer and a publisher. She sells her life for eight dollars and fifty cents an hour, spends the free time editing other people's work and has little time of her own to write.

So, this is an experiment. Time and again, Angelia has proven herself capable of writing a novel in the space of one month. Now, we're putting it to the real test. If this campaign meets its initial goal, Angelia will write a novel. This is defined as a book of no less than fifty thousand words.

All written in a month.

This campaign is to create that month by taking away the worries of bills and the erratic work schedule.

Details

The book will be published through Inkstained Succubus Productions, Angelia's small press. The campaign ends May 1. Angelia's Month of Writing Dangerously begins June 1. At this time, the projected convention is Hypericon, in Nashville TN. The book will be given precedence in the publishing queue and should be out September 1, 2014.

It will be available in ebook, paperback, and hardback formats. These will be available through Amazon, Barns and Noble, All Romance Ebooks, Lightening Source/Ingrams and other outlets. Audiobooks are one of our stretch goals

All contributors will be invited to the Supporters Only Blog to follow the writing progress and receive acknowledgment in the book. Those who donate at the $5 level get an ebook copy. Higher donations bring paperbacks, audiobooks, personal appearances, and even a chance to see this writer of kink put her money where her mouth is.

The book will be decided by the contributors via poll. It could be WWII furries. It could be Civil War zombies. It could p.i. DJ Admire against the fae. 

 The t-shirt reads "Angelia Sparrow, Official contributor"
