I published independently to preserve my rights as an author and maintain creative control. After much research, I created a Kickstarter campaign to fund the initial expenses of publication.
Kickstarter is a platform for independent creators to get the word out about their project and raise funding. With Kickstarter, I met my funding goals with minimal risk to my backers.
It launched on December 3rd, 2017. It ran until January 2nd. The base goal was $3,000 and we were 111% successful. Thank you, backers! Visit the Kickstarter

Fans of noir sci-fi, steampunk, and cyberpunk will find something to love in Children of Vale. If it had its own category, it could be "medieval future".
