Baen author Dave Freer and his family are emigrating from South Africa to Australia. However, they have run into a slight problem: shifts in the exchange rate have decimated the funds they had budgeted for paying for the necessary quarantine of their pets.
So Freer is putting out the Storyteller’s Bowl (which TeleRead previously discussed here), and serializing his latest novel, Save the Dragons, in return for donations. He has posted the first chapter free. For each $400 he receives in donations, he will post a new chapter, until all 25 chapters + epilogue have been posted.
As with the Sharon Lee & Steve Miller Fledgling and Saltation projects, those who donate more than $25 in total will get a signed copy of the hardcover (or next most expensive format if the book does not come out in hardcover) when the book is actually published.
So, go Save the Dragons. You’ll also be saving Dave Freer’s family pets.
