Apex, NC -- (SBWire) -- 03/03/2015 --Following on the heels of his very well received short story "Howler King", Mr. Morgan intends to roll out a full-length novel building upon the groundwork he set in the original story. Everyone is encouraged to read the short story - http://www.wattpad.com/11915651-howler-king).

This bold new effort in the fantasy adventure sector comes in response to questions Mr. Morgan has heard frequently: "When is your next book coming out? And what will it be about?" While he has a few projects in the works, the one which has captivated more of his attention and imagination more than any other is a novel based on his short story "Howler King." Work on the book has been slow because he's been devoting his time to teaching English to his college students.

A window of opportunity has opened for this inspired author to devote more time to write, edit, format, and get a cover design created for the Howler King novel. Most fiction fans have no idea how much it costs to publish a fiction book starting from an idea in the writer's mind to seeing the finished product in a bookstore. Editing, formatting, and cover design can easily cost thousands of dollars to say nothing of the time necessary to actually write the book plus essential book promotion that every good novel deserves.

Crowdfunding is sought to bring a democratic process to Mr. Morgan's fans who have been clamoring for his next book via Kickstarter to cover all of his expenses. Every backer to this crowdfunding project is voting with their wallet to let the author know he should proceed.

Every dollar raised paves the way to a win-win scenario through rewards every fiction can enjoy including autographed copies of Mr. Morgan's previous novels or the new one as well as limited editions, having a character in the novel named for them up to and including coming to a town to speak to a book club, a school or writers group.

This crowdfunding campaign ends on March 23, 2015.
