What's it all about!

My name is John Mierau. ENEMY LINES is a near-future adventure novel. It's built on mystery, danger, a touch of humor, and exciting characters you will root for... but they won't always win.


Now I want to make it available in ebook and Print. I created this IndieGoGo campaign to fund editing & cover illustration.


UPDATE: [Dec. 28,2011]

Every funder, big and small, is proving they believe in ENEMY LINES & putting their money where their mouth is. If this campaign is fully funded...


ALL funders will be included in a random draw for a Kindle Fire & all my ebooks!

(shipping extra outside USA!)


My fiction is available as ebooks for the Amazon Kindle & also as unabridged Audiobooks via iTunes, released as podcasts which have been downloaded over 400,000 times!


Like all authors, I'm worth exactly what you think I am...so I've made one of my most popular novellas, HARLAN'S WAKE, a *free* download on Smashwords, iBooks & Kindle. Please check out my work. I hope you'll want more, & help me write more by supporting this project.


I'm an Indie author. That means that in three years, I've never made an advance on a novel. I WANT YOU to by my publisher. My Patron... and a HAPPY READER.


What's ENEMY LINES about? Well now, that would be telling! In short, it's a near-future adventure about conspiracies, spies and aliens-where the lines aren't as clear as you think.  I don't want to spoil it by saying more, but if you like hints, you can check out the Book Trailer, or the transmedia campaign I put together with some of the top audiobook and podcast fiction voice around: 'ENEMY LINES: Transmissions'.


Here's where *you* come in!

I'm an independant artist. I've never had an advance, a publicity budget or an editorial staff. I do everything myself or I have to find someone who can help.


To me, IndieGoGo feels like the best way to reach out to my readers to fund what I'm creating *for* them. I don't believe I need a publisher to commission beautiful covers and pay for editng and printing costs. That just drives up the cost for you, and the profits for another company.


What ENEMY LINES Needs & What You Get:

Please, crash-test my stories on your Kindle, iTunes & iBooks. Learn about ENEMY LINES via the video BOOK TRAILER & audio 'Transmissions'. I hope that makes you a fan and an IndieGoGo supporter.


So what do you get? You crowd-source the release of ENEMY LINES, book 1, and you get me working, creating new words for you.


...but that's not all you get!  Read on for the perks!


ONCE YOU ARE A BELIEVER!
