Laid Off in Down Economy: Time to Pursue Long-time Dream
Help me author-publish my first novel spring 2015!
In order to make a real go of it and get this first book done right, I am asking for financial support to meet expenses this quarter. Everything helps… $20, $40, $100 or whatever you can. Donor rewards will be sent out in the spring of 2015, prior to the official book launch of my first novel,Murder on the North Coast Limited.
Soooo... YOU CAN HELP IN TWO (2) WAYS:
1. Look the the right and pick a PERK level -or-
2. Share this with everyone you know!

A LITTLE BACKSTORY about the author...
When the economy took a big fat dive, I was laid off. I spent many hours at the library conducting a job search and would take a break now and then to read history and other interesting stuff. One day I suddenly got three fully formed ideas for three different novel series, loosely related to each other. So I began to research and plan my first novel. It has been difficult to find regular work— I’ve been freelance copywriting, picking up work as a chef and in child-care, and tutoring again—just trying to pay the bills. All along I’ve been working on the first novel.
Now the first draft is just about complete and ready for revision and publication.
Launching a career as a professional author is an entrepreneurial endeavor, just like opening up a business. For years I have been developing my craft and now more recently establishing the marketing and publishing modalities. To date, I have about 20 books, fiction and non-fiction, sketched out. More ideas come to me all the time. My product is my stories.
Thank you!
Beth
