The Mason of New Orleans and The Angel of Ecbatana • TWO novels of medieval mystery and action with a touch of horror and the supernatural

Hi, all, and thanks for backing (or considering) The Mason of New Orleans and The Angel of Ecbatana!

 

I have a quick question for you, and it regards the intro text at the top of the campaign page. When I put that together (it's from the opening of the current draft of The Angel of Ecbatana), I thought it worked well to introduce a central conceit from the book. But then I thought maybe it's a bit redundant with Martin's little monolog that follows, and maybe it doesn't grab you as viscerally as it could. So I put together a few alternatives. And I asked folk about them on social media. The results were inconclusive, but the options that featured a lot of action, collectively, won out over the current text.

 

So: here's where you can help. Here are two action-oriented alternatives. Which of these grabs you by the gut and makes you really HAVE to read the book?

 

Have a read here, and then respond via this poll.

 

Thanks, and please keep helping spread the word—we’re so close to funding; with your help we can get over the line in the next couple of hours!
