Hello, I am in the process of writing a book and an up to a little over a quarter way there (about 26k words) and decided to take a break and work on the sleeve. Would you be interested in reading this book after seeing this sleeve?
**********************************
Ok, first things first, magic is real. You know all those stories about witches, wizards, and trolls? Well those are real. Ok, not like really real, those are mostly propaganda pieces designed to make us look bad. My ex was a witch, and she hardly ever ate children. See here is the thing; people use to study a different science. One that was less about math and more about feel. Then people started to get smarter about it. It started as simple things that even science is ok with, like the bandaging of wounds, predicting the weather by changes in atmospheric pressure, and grinding beaver testicles into a tea for contraception. You know, the basics. Then we got cocky. I don?t know how many times you shot fire from your fingertips, but after the second time you start thinking you?re a pretty cool guy. Then you start wondering why you should listen to the guy who can?t shoot fire from his fingertips. It was at this point that we rebelled. The wizarding world moved against the common one. Then the inquisition happened. Turns out people don?t like it when you threaten to shoot fingertip fire at them. Then they tie you to a stake and see how you like it. So now we live in secrecy using our training to live relatively normal lives, and, on occasion, stop things that go bump in the night.
My name is Timothy Dugas, and I am a necromancer. For those of you not in the know, a necromancer is basically just a wizard? who's powers all center on death. Wait! Hold on! Don?t judge! It?s not as bad as all that. Listen, I don?t kill people, ok? I just kind of exploit their death?ok that didn?t help. I give them purpose after they have died. They become instruments of justice? or convenience. Long story short, being a cop, I found that death magic, though woefully stereotyped as evil, can really come in handy. Besides I think we can all agree that the ability to animate the bones of my childhood dog, Bandit, is pretty sweet. He still sucks at fetch though.
*************************************
I'm still cutting my teeth, but please let me know if this sounds like something that wouldn't (or would) scare you off.
If you truly don't hate this. I wouldn't mind a beta reader or two. message me if that sounds groovy
Thank you for your time!
