An exciting new fantasy novel, set in a dangerous world that connects every city on the planet.
Goblin Alley: Eleven Lords is the exciting new fantasy novel from the mind of writer/artist Michael Burges.
Goblinus. The goblin city in the faerie realm that connects every city on the planet. A place of danger, adventure and wonder.
Dalton Hicks. Champion cross country runner, returns to Goblin Alley against his will. Pursued by evil. Reunited with the beautiful and deadly shape-shifter Mingmei. Charged by the Goblin King with an impossible mission. How long can he outrun his fate?
As an independent author I always strive to do my best. Goblin Alley: Eleven Lords marks my tenth novel release and with your help I hope to make it the best yet!
The Magical World of Publishing
We've passed through the alley from the mundane world where publishers decide what gets printed, to the magical world where readers like you and authors like me decide what gets published. I'm asking you to join me in this adventure to make this a fantastic release.
The novel is already written. I have three goals with this project:
- Pay for professional editing and the publishing costs associated with producing high-quality print editions in trade paperback and hardcover.
- Spread the word about Goblin Alley! I want to get as many copies out to readers as possible. Thanks to Kickstarter we can build 'preorders' for the book and create far more buzz about the release.
- Relaunch the series by giving the first book, Goblin Alley: Bloodied Fang, the same treatment.
Join the Adventure!
It's easy to join the ranks of Goblin Alley fans. First, pledge to support the project. We've got some great rewards, deals that won't be available after the Kickstarter project. Second, help spread the word about the project both online and off.
Remember, funding is all or nothing. Each pledge gets us closer to our goal!
