Should I Write the Next Marla Mason Novel?

[tapratt]

I'm debating whether or not to write Broken Mirrors -- the fifth full-length Marla Mason novel, which will resolve the cliffhanger in Spell Games -- this spring, to be published online as a reader-funded serial in the summer or fall.

If you're interested in reading that (and more importantly interested in donating, so I can actually afford to

Ooh ooh! Pick me, Mr. Kotter!!

Definitely interested, and would be quite happy to donate at least the price I'd pay for the paperback if it came out -- my email is the same as my username, but at gmail.

(Reminds me, I need to pick up a print copy of Bone Shop.)

Would looooove another Marla Mason book!

Having come to the Marla Mason universe only within the last year, I gobbled up everything I could, including the prequel (after it was serialized, in Kindle format). I'm totally down on a new one, but I have some reservations on the funding of it. I'm not against it, I'm just used to the "Pay X and get the book". If you did serialize the next book, I will absolutely get over my issues and jump on board, however. Anything to get more from that universe! :)

It doesn't entirely thrill me, either, and I'm not totally committed to it -- for one thing, I'd probably write the whole book before I posted chapter 1, so it's not like I'd save myself time or effort by *not* posting chapters -- but I know some other writers who've had good results with that method, and it's a way to insure a certain minimum return, in theory. I'm pondering other approaches too though.

Hell to the YES! I love your Marla Mason books. LOVE THEM.

I would donate whatever you wanted.

Thanks!

Donate $7500 and I'll post the whole thing at once and dedicate it to you, too. :)

LOL, okay let me rephrase. LOL

I love your books Tim and would donate a reasonable amount of money, no more than what the book would cost me at the store.

There how's that??? LOL

[tapratt]

Sounds reasonable. No dedication for you though! :)

I donated online, and I bought a Lulu hard copy. So, yeah, I'd like to read it and I'll give again, but I can understand your reluctance.
