Kickstarter Announcement: Way of the Wizard by Michael Michel

As I was preparing this post, I discovered that the Cover Reveal I scheduled for last Monday for this book didn’t post. All the post tells me is “Missed Schedule.” So, this is going to be a longer post than I’d intended. It’ll be worth it, I assure you. So, I’m giving a belated Cover Reveal which will lead into a discussion about the Kickstarter for Way of the Wizard. It would’ve one of the better covers I’ve revealed, but alas–but I’m still going to show it.

But before I get to the Kickstarter or anything else, I just wanted to apologize to Michel–I really thought I’d had everything taken care of, but I should’ve checked.

Book Details:

Book Title: Way of the Wizard: Book One by Michael Michel
Genre: Epic Fantasy
Pages: 291 (5×8 Paperback) / 270 (6×9 Hardback)

About the Book

Even gods have their beginnings.

Mine starts in the chasm between worlds. In the blink of eternity between life and death.

If you wish to follow, let this be your road.

First, join your brethren–those others who seek the Power. They are your allies and the key to your success. They will almost certainly try to kill you.

Second, slay a wizard and claim their topknot. Be smart, be quick, and never hesitate. They’re the most dangerous creatures alive. If destiny does not favor you, your bones will be added to the piles beneath their feet.

Third, acquire the hidden location of the Spirit Gardens. Secrets are worth more than kingdoms. Protect them at all costs or your enemies will win, and you will die.

But above all, never look back. Godhood is the goal.

If you have the courage and ambition to do so, read on.

Your path to power awaits.

If you’re the type to buy a book just based on the cover, this is one to get you to open your wallet, right?

The image comes from Nino Is and J Caleb Design handled the cover’s typography and layout. I think they both did a bang up job.

The book looks great. The cover is dynamite. The rewards look nifty. Go help kick that start!

About the Book

When the light that guides us fails, we must face the darkness within…or perish.

A warlord’s bitter crusade. A starship’s crew caught between a mindless monster and a race against starvation. Conflicted aliens, unable to stop their conquest. The unhappy life of a sentient gun.

Sing No Suns, Sing The Night is an SFF short story collection and an ode to Grimdark. Hope and despair. Love and hate. Sweet beginnings and sour ends. These stories cover themes that challenge our beliefs about self, society, and the nature of living.

If you’re ready to be dragged to the lip of the abyss and dangled over the edge, read on.
