Help us launch THE PEN NAME via Kickstarter!

[Permuted Press]

CALLING ALL READERS! Want to help launch the career of a new writing team?  David Snell and myself (Jacob Kier) have written a novel called THE PEN NAME under the pseudonym David Jacob Knight which we're supporting via a Kickstarter campaign (http://kck.st/15nSIvl).  We'd love to have your help!

The novel, which we think is fair to describe as a bit of Stephen King's author-centered tales mixed with Bentley Little, is a supernatural thriller which pits a first-time novelist against his evil bestselling co-author.

For a limited time you can snag an eBook for just $4.  Or get the whole kit and caboodle--pre-reader, eBook, and signed paperback--for $35!  Looking to advertise a project of your own?  For $250 you can reserve a full page ad in the back of THE PEN NAME.  Or help us out at several other reward levels. Any level of support is much appreciated, and anything you can do to spread the word--Facebook, Twitter, blog posts, etc--would be amazing.

Here's a bit more about the book...

BEN MADE A BAD DEAL

Ben Little is broke, jobless, and failing at his one true passion in life: writing. He can’t even afford medical treatments for his ailing son.

When bestselling novelist Jack Fleischer takes an interest in him as a co-author, Ben thinks he has found his big break. But he quickly learns that working with Fleischer is no dream job. The bestseller is demanding, angry, and cruel.

BEN IS LOSING EVERYTHING

Since signing the contract with Fleischer’s publisher, Ben is being followed by shadowy agents. His wife is accusing him of things he doesn’t remember doing, and the contract is full of bizarre terms. Like dangerous research trips that involve binge drinking, torture, and worse. Writing has become nearly impossible, and if Ben breaches the contract, he’ll lose everything.

But Ben is not about to surrender to Fleischer. He is willing to do anything in his power to save his family, and his life.
