Excitement, action, romance—these are just a few of the many words that describe my upcoming novel, The Enigmatic Heart, the sixth book in my ongoing Love and Treason series. I’ve been working on these stories over the past three years, and this book is going to be the most intense and powerful page-turner out of the whole bunch. AND for the first time ever, I’m offering to let my tier 1 and above backers help WRITE the actual ending because I’m pretty stumped on how to finish this one, guys.
I mean, I’ve got a great plot all mapped out. Brett Barnfield is a government scientist who’s in love with CIA operative Clara Hinckley, but she’s in love with… the President of the United States, who’s trying to covertly assassinate Brett for uncovering classified secrets about his military’s bio-nuclear weapons that turn people into zombies. Now, all of three of them must decide what’s more important: the safety of the world, or each other. As you can see, these characters and their motivations are all dear to my heart, but also this love triangle is kind of complicated, so I really could use some spitballing on what to do with it, as well as on how the zombies can play a bigger role in the whole story.
I’m pretty much open to any advice here since, again, I’m pretty stuck with these last 40 pages, and my creative writing professors from Bard aren’t responding back to my emails. Just remember that your suggestions need to fall within the book’s main themes of unrequited love, dwelling on the past, and how the Government is trying to mind control us all. Also, no secret twists like the President is actually the main character’s long lost bother, because that would be fucking corny.
Most of the money raised is going to go towards publishing and marketing costs, but I’m really just postings this to get some other ideas from you all. So be sure to pledge your support and I’ll add you to the discord so we can hash this out. I’m really lost here.
Also, just know that, now, if people read this book and hate it, it’s kind of on you guys.
What you all came here for. Pledge at this level to join me as a co-author! Just know that I can only afford to put all the co-authors on one page, so the legibility of your name might be minimal.
You’ll get a co-author credit AND an opportunity to play a small part as a zombie in the book.
Not only will you get to help write the ending, but you’ll also get to rewrite some of the middle parts as I think those need some sprucing up too.
