The end of the road!

I visit Ilulissat a lot in my stories. When I lived in Greenland, Ilulissat was the largest town in Qaasuitsup Kommunia. Qaasuitsup was the northern municipality stretching from Kangaatsiaq at the southern border to Qaanaaq at the very top. Ilulissat was the administrative centre. According to Wikipedia 🙂 the population for the municipality was 17,498 in 2013. Jane and I were living in Nuuk (population roughly 18,000 in 2021) at the time. In 2017 Qaasuitsup was split up and Ilulissat and everything above it became Avannaata Kommunia.

Check out the Greenland Missing Persons map to find most of the places mentioned here.

The photo above is taken at the power station at far end of town. I like this photo as it clearly shows the range of coloured houses in Greenland. The photo below is the tourist path to Ilulissat Icefjord. If you’ve read The Shaman’s Daughter you’ll know Luui hid in an ice cave in this area. The ice in the background is constantly moving. Slower in winter, but I wouldn’t walk on it! In summer this is where the action is. 😉

Which reminds me, the title of the post allows for a fun segue into another project I’m working on – one of many. More about these books later, but I’ll finish off with a teaser:

Lots of cheap eBooks … potentially!

The End of the Line Kickstarter campaign is now 108% funded! In other words, if more people jump in there will be more rewards for all backers.

Currently anyone backing the campaign for the rebooted End of the Line novel will also receive 5 short stories or “scenes” from the book, exclusive to the campaign.

There are just 3 days left and I love the thought of giving away books if we hit the stretch rewards. 🙂 But I can’t do this alone.

The first stretch goal is in sight, and if more people get on board then we have a chance of reaching it.

There are also some fun rewards left for those readers who want to get into a story – literally and literaturely – (that’s definitely not a word) and I’m looking forward to working closely with those backers of the campaign who are excited about joining Maratse and Petra in a story. (Luui is already taken, folks!) The reader will be a character in a personalised short story (eBook) and will also get their name on the cover with the tagline: “and introducing …”

Right, I’ve gotta go. Lots to write, lots to do.

Please check out the Kickstarter campaign if you’re interested and share it if you can.

Thank you.

99% funded!

The End of the Line Kickstarter project is extremely close to funding now, and then the real fun begins with stretch rewards! 

Stretch rewards basically means free books for all backers of the campaign at the End of the Line rebooted novel reward level, which is roughly $2 USD. 🙂

But even just on funding, there are currently 5 spin-off short stories for free for backers (at the level mentioned above).

Yes, this is a shameless plug for the campaign, but at 99% … I think I can justify it.

Please take a look if you’re curious, and spread the word if you are able.

Thank you.

78% funded on Day 6

The End of the Line Kickstarter is progressing. As it’s my first, it’s difficult to know if it’s doing well, or if it even will fund, or… There are so many things I don’t know, can’t control.

What I can control is the additional short stories I am writing exclusively for this campaign. If you’re curious to know more about the characters in End of the Line, then you might want to check out the campaign – now with an additional paperback reward.

Whatever happens, if this campaign funds, backers (readers) are set to get a tonne of eBooks and stories, especially if it hits the stretch rewards. 🙂

Check out the 3 stories already in the works for the End of the Line campaign!

48% funded on Day 2!

The End of the Line Kickstarter project is 48% on day 2 of the campaign. 🙂 It’s almost time to start biting my nails, and yet, there are 25 days to go.

There are now only 5 of the 7 “you in the story” awards left. I really hope the project funds as I am excited about plotting the short stories with the backers who want to go on an adventure with Maratse and Petra.

Phew… deep breath, fingers crossed, and all that. Discover more and meet Nate on the Kickstarter page.

Kickstarter with loads of eBook rewards!

by Leave a Comment

I’ve just launched a Kickstarter campaign – my first – to reboot one of my earlier books: End of the Line.

While I am excited about the project and relaunching my book, I’m really excited about the rewards available for backers, and the stretch rewards which will give backers a lot of my eBooks for not a lot of money – a couple of dollars – IF the project funds.

The key to getting those stretch rewards is sharing the project and getting more people involved. 😉

Find out how to get involved via this link to Kickstarter, and discover how you can get written into a Maratse, Petra, or Luui short story in time for Christmas! (Yep, I said it.)

It’s all or nothing, folks. And it’s the End of the Line! 🙂
