In just over a week, my next Kickstarter launches. What’s it about?
Welcome to Londinium, City of Gears. The lowlies keep their heads down. The people are gray, cogs for the machines. The constables work for the coal barons. The Well-Dressed Man hunts his prey.
And then the dragons come.
An angry orphan finds a dragon egg.
A disabled teen accidentally tells a poisoned story.
A dancer carries a tree into the iron city, and with it something much, much older.
In a city where dragons eat stories, three teen girls will change everything.
A complete YA steampunk trilogy. With dragons. Yeah, I’m excited about it.
If you follow me on Twitter or Bluesky or Instagram or Facebook or… um, my wife is posting on some social media… are we on Youtube? I should look into that.
Anyway, I’ve been posting daily for about a week about the campaign. I’m posting quotes, blurbs about each of the books, talking about the origins of the story… I want people to know about the campaign, and to follow the campaign. (I’d love it if you’d click this link and then click “Notify me on launch.” Kickstarter will send you an email when we go live on February 11!)
And I wonder… how much is too much posting? I see some authors posting about their writing… a lot. Seven, eight times a day they’ll post about this or that book. Other authors don’t talk about their stuff at all.
Part of me really, really shies away from posting too much, which means I tend to not post at all about my books.
On the other hand, the way social media works these days, posting once a day actually won’t get your words in front of a lot of people.
So… how much is too much?
Yeah. I don’t have an answer. But I plan to keep posting daily. And if you want to encourage this writer, again, I’d love it if you’d click the link and then click “Notify me on launch.” It would mean the world to me!
