Author reveals the background to the delays this book has been through since it was completed in 2023. “I thought it would be a clever idea to call it DELAY,” sighs JC Spark, ”but it turned out to be a bad omen that I brought upon this publication.” The secret behind this ongoing delay: Dire Contact! Which would be funny in itself, as it is the title of the first book in JC Spark's No Brainer series, if it would not reflect the reason for the book's name in an almost painful way. The book tells the story of a life and a love with DELAY, in a poetic mixture of song lyrics and poetry.
Perhaps it is dire contacts that have always inspired writing and world-weaving – but in this case it is most certainly true.
The book “DELAY”, which will be published exclusively in English, is dedicated to the author's late muse. It is the story of a fateful encounter that delayed life but also created a realm of dark beauty, which is shared with the world in DELAY.
The original plan was to release the game in 2024 – but then the idea was overtaken by the completion of the book “Fatal Contact”, which will be released in March.
And even though other projects are currently in the pipeline, the crowdfunding campaign for DELAY on BackerKit is now finally set to begin in 2025, on February 13th. If you want to take a look at it now, you can do so here: DELAY

Now you might wonder why the book is not just being sold in stores, whether crowdfunding is not just another delay. The answer is yes and no. Of course, the book could simply go on sale – but the vision for this book is not a quickly produced paperback. It is a labor of love – and has some special features, as can be seen from the image of the book cover: the second half of the book is upside down – or is it the first?
The final cover design has not yet been revealed, but it will emphasize the expression of the two images of the design even more. Inside, there is another design surprise that will be shown at the beginning of the campaign.
DELAY is love and mourning, farewell and new beginnings – and yes, that's why it took so long: letting go takes time.
