A heartfelt thanks for the amazing support



Another Kickstarter is in the history books. Robin and I want to thank all the people who helped make the Age of Death project such a huge success. With that out of the way, the final production begins. The manuscript has gone to the copyeditors and we expect to have their changes back in early October. For those that backed the Kickstarter, that means you'll get your ebooks next month. Robin has started doing the layout for the book so we can get cost estimates and schedule the print runs. Once all that is done, we'll know better about the shipping date for physical copies, but you'll certainly get them before the Feb 4, 2020 release date.

So, how did the Kickstarter go? Really well!

  • Our most successful Kickstarter to date.
  • 3,120 backers  - 567 more than Age of Legend.
  • $119,337 raised - $8,471 more than Age of Legend.
  • 2nd most-backed and 4th most-funded fiction Kickstarters of all time.
Here's some data about the past Kickstarters.



People are already asking when the Age of Empyre Kickstarter will launch, and normally I would have said 3 months. But that would land it right in the middle of the holiday season, and I'm not sure that would be a good time. So, Robin's current thought is early in January. We'll keep you posted.


Lately, Robin has been talking to a number of authors who are considering Kickstarters. We think this is great as the one-on-one interaction and special perks that Kickstarters provide make it a great experience for readers and writers. Hopefully, we'll see some other authors bumping us out of the top ranks.

Oh, and if you missed the Kickstarter, no worries. You can still participate via the BackerKit pre-order store. Robin is still setting it up, but it should be ready soon. We'll keep you posted.

    1. We don't have covers yet (which is the big hold up), I want people to see what they will be getting. It'll be after the holiday seeing (and direct purchases will go toward loyalty points). If you haven't signed up you can do so here. https://michaeljsullivan.survey.fm/riyria
