About the author
Clint Stoker
6 books18 followersDystopia has always appealed to me. If I had to shoehorn my writing into one category, Dystopia would fit best. Even since I read "I am Legend" by Richard Matheson, I fell in love with the the question -- what if? Dystopia is all about answering that question.
Some people fantasize about magic and mythical creatures. I dream about strange politics and extraordinary people. I write fiction about the science of human nature, and of power, and of kindness. I write about new places, and old problems.
I'm a history nut, and a comic book connoisseur. I love listening to music and creating my own. I'm a University of Utah graduate of Mass Communication. I'm a clumsy gardener, a starving artist, a proud husband and father.
And I am story teller.

A Good Start
Review of the Sweetcast Comics crowdfunded edition (Nov. 2019)
Part of the experience with crowd-funded books is that you are rating the fulfillment itself. That is whether the independent creator produced a professional product and delivered it in a proper and safely packaged manner within the promised delivery time-frame. By all of those measures, Clint Stoker delivered a 5-star product which included regular updates through his various social media.
In terms of the story outline, there are some confusing elements or jump-cuts which feel under-explained though. This is particularly so in the final pages. It is a continuing story so those gaps will hopefully be cleared up in the future. In any case, this is an excellent model for how to build a successful crowd-funding campaign.
