Outsiders' dilemma of getting into the Game wasn't high on Jake's priority list.

Now to address a dilemma of my own. I'm gearing up for the Kickstarter for NAV's Book 5 and hope to launch it in May. The main problem is that I'm out of NAV 1 (I have just enough for Phoenix Comic Con in May, but that's it). It's awkward to run a Kickstarter and not be able to offer the first book of the series so I would like to raise the funds to reprint them during the Kickstarter. Alas, that's going to require a minimum of $20K, an amount none of my Kickstarters have reached before, so I'm a tad terrified of attempting it.

There are three ways to go about this:

Option A: Set the minimum for printing both books ($20K) and hope we make it. If we don't make it, then I'll get no money and neither book will be printed.

Option B: Set the minimum for printing only Book 5 ($10K) and put Book 1's reprint as a stretch goal at $20K. Come up with stretch goals in between that don't cost any money (since all the money will be consumed to print the books). If we fail to make $20K, but at least reach $10K, then Book 5 can be printed and Book 1 will have to wait for another time. But this makes it difficult for me to attend cons since I won't have Book 1 to sell. Also, I won't be able to offer a full set during the Kickstarter since there will be no Book 1 to give.

Option C: Set the minimum for reprinting Book 1 ($10K) and put Book 5 as a stretch goal at $20K. This is awkward since not everyone might want another Book 1 if they already have it and there's nothing really new to sell which could make it hard to raise the initial $10K.

I would love your input. If you could fill out this survey, it would help me immensely in making this decision!

Thanks so much!!

This eats at her a lot.

Thanks to everyone who has left a review on my fantasy novels, in particular the first one, The Wanted Child. It's been awesome to read them. Thanks!

Fifteen-year-old Ki doesn't care what half of the nine gods say. She will not let her parents die to save the Four Lands. Tavk, the trickster god, agrees to protect her parents as long as she completes his missions. For the promise of a happy ever after, Ki evolves into an infamous demonic fighter and tries to ignore her fading humanity and growing loneliness.

Then she meets De: the gods' new Hero. The gods need him trained fast and Tavk is only too happy to sign her up for the job. Two years older -- and distractingly handsome -- De practically worships Ki and wants to be both her best trainee and her best friend. But he doesn't know who she really is: The Wanted Child. The one the new Hero, De, is destined to kill so the gods can finally destroy her parents.

Great time to try the series if you haven't yet!
