Fans of young adult fiction can decide on the next big YA novel to be published

NEW YORK - May 4, 2016 - PRLog -- Indie author, Beck Robertson has just launched an exciting new crowdsourced publishing campaign at Kindle Scout for his latest book Fallen Heart, managed by promotions company Brandables.  The book is the first in a planned YA paranormal romance trilogy and aims to bring a fresh, alternative voice to the genre as it's told from the perspective of sixteen year old male protagonist Bailey.

"I wrote Fallen Heart for the readers, so I decided rather than be constrained by the limits of traditional publishing I'd let the readers decide whether it should be published instead," said author, Beck Robertson. Robertson has had some of his other work traditionally published but says his initial forays into getting Fallen Heart published made it clear the traditional publishing industry aren't interested in paranormal romance anymore, so he decided to crowdfund instead.

Having studied angelology as part of his University course on mythology, Robertson was inspired to create the trilogy, which centers around the epic romance between Bailey, a fallen angel and his love interest Celeste, a mortal.  The book is heavily influenced by the myths of angels and demons and these supernatural elements color Robertson's work, catering to fans of Amanda Hocking, Stephanie Meyer and other popular authors within the paranormal genre.

"I'm not against trad publishing at all but I felt that a lot of the feedback I was getting from agents and publishers was trend led.  They would say things like the writing was great but there wasn't enough of an audience for this sort of thing right now yet I knew young adult paranormal romance is still a hugely popular genre so I wanted to prove them wrong," Robertson said.

The campaign for Fallen Heart will run until May 20^th on the Kindle Scout platform and voters who nominate the book will receive a free advance copy ahead of the book's official release, if it's selected for publication.  Fallen Heart's release is planned for Summer 2016 and Robertson says he will bring the book to market even if he doesn't reach his target fundraising goal.

"All voters will receive a free copy even if the book isn't selected by Kindle Scout," he says, adding "I'm a big fan of the paranormal romance genre and I wrote this book from the heart so I'm going to make it happen no matter the budgetary constraints."
