A coming of age tale about a group of friends and how they deal with life, love, friendship, and the challenges life throws at them.
IT STARTED ON A BUS
For The StormVerse Chronicles, that comment is rather literal.Storm Front is the first chronicle in the aforementioned StormVerse Chronicles. It is the coming of age tale of a teenager, Daniel ‘Storm’ Marcus, a native of the small lakeside town of Merlow.
Getting a KickStart
The objective of this Kickstarter project is to fund the publication of the first Storm Front volume - It Started On A Bus.
The Power Behind The Storm
A little bit about me then. My name’s Ty and for a very long time now [over a decade], I’ve been writing the online serial Storm Front. This series eventually became the first Chronicle in The StormVerse Chronicles.It has been a labour of love, hence the long period of writing, and what came at the end was a rather large beast. Five online seasons of ups and downs for Storm and his friends and family.
The online following has grown over the years, and those few and faithful lasted until Storm Front finally completed it’s final season in 2009.
During the odd ten years that Storm Front ran online, I began branching out and honing my ability as a writer, with the ultimate ambition of becoming a published author, and hopefully one day, converting some of my writing into visual projects. But right now my main objective is to start getting The StormVerse Chronicles into print in the USA. Which brings us here.
My hope is that this project will help kickstart, no pun intended, the continual release of each part of The StormVerse Chronicles into publication. The five seasons of Storm Front will be converted into five volumes, and this, right here, IT STARTED ON A BUS is the first.
Daniel 'Storm' Marcus, the star of Storm Front.
How The Money Will Be Spent
If the targeted funding is achieved, every last cent will be required to print off copies of IT STARTED ON A BUS and cover the rewards for this project. That in itself will be an achievement of epic proportions for me and everyone on Team Storm. Besides printing and the costs of distribution, an artist will also be hired to create a Kickstarter exclusive cover variant on the main existing CGI cover.Check back often for updates on this project!
