Lo, There Shall Come a Back Cover
We are living in the last days! (...before my novel comes out. If these were the ACTUAL last days, it would severely cut into my sales.)
Behind the scenes, it is definitely in "crossing i's and dotting t's" mode. This is the penultimate phase before "wait, I got that backwards, let me fix that" mode.
While you wait, here is another teaser, the 99.99% finalized back cover of the print edition:
Don't strain your eyes! Here's the synopsis in a normalish-sized font:
- THE YEAR IS 20018. THE FAMED MAGICIAN ILLUMINARI IS DEAD, and his greatest illusion has died with him. Dark forces now seek THE ENGINE OF ARMAGEDDON, the ancient, sentient doomsday weapon that Illuminari hid amongst the stars.
Enter PERCIVAL GYNT, accountant and part-time hero, whose quest to find the Engine before it falls into the wrong hands may be our universe’s last best hope for survival. It is a quest that will take him from the highest reaches of power to the lowest pits of despair and through every manner of horror and absurdity between.
But beware. This accountant has a secret.
A secret that could damn us all.
Yep. It's going to be that kind of novel.
If you squint, you'll see that the print edition will set you back $16.95. For the purists who insist that real books exist only inside of your phone, there will also be a cheaper ebook edition. (But no back cover for you!)
You may have also spotted the first reference to my imprint, Ruesday Books. I'll talk a little more about that soon.
