Writers on the Moon Update

April 1, 2023 By Tina Glasneck

It’s been more than a hot minute since we’ve had a Writers on the Moon update, and today is the day to grab your calendars so you can mark down the date.

As you might recall, I am a part of the Writers on the Moon project, whereby my catalog of books will be sent to the moon as part of a lunar time capsule. Well, we finally have a date…and an amazing update.

NASA finally provided the link for the eventbrite so you can watch it virtually. I thought to share it with you to experience this historical event, when the lunar time capsule is sent to the Moon with Astrobotic Peregrine 1 Launch on May 4th!

Please reserve your spot so you don’t miss it! My work will be headed to the moon in a little over 31 days. Squee!!!

Let the countdown begin! So, if anyone wants to start that Wikipedia page on me (hint, hint), I’d be forever thankful!

The Binding of Rán

March 6, 2023 By Tina Glasneck

You knew I couldn’t resist writing a story to go along with The Orc King for our Kickstarter campaign, right?

Well, if you bet I would write something, you’re correct! I’m happy to share that with The Orc King funding, we’re now in our stretch goals, and this includes a prequel action adventure short story. 

The Binding of Rán is a thrilling prequel short story to The Orc King’s one-shot fantasy adventure that will take you on a journey of discovery, danger, and magic. 

A man without a past must fight for the present.

As Tyrell sets sail for the fabled Elven island of Aewea, he quickly discovers that danger lurks around every corner. The island is under attack by the fearsome Norse sea goddess, Rán, who is on a mission to find more magical men to sacrifice to her or unleash her wrath upon the island.

But Tyrell is not alone in his quest. A brave princess and her trusty dwarf mentor have uncovered a way to stop the madness and save the island from certain doom. And when they invite Tyrell to join them on their quest, he knows he must accept if he hopes to survive.

With time running out and the stakes higher than ever, Tyrell must summon all of his courage and cunning to help defeat the mighty goddess and help save the people of Aewea.

Once we hit our stretch goal, everyone who has bid on the campaign will receive this story as a thank you for your support! Yay!

One Shot Adventure: The Orc King

February 23, 2023 By Tina Glasneck

Over the past few weeks, new ideas have taken shape, and it’s finally time for the great reveal… A One Shot!

What’s a one-shot, Tina?

A one-shot is a mini-adventure. In this case, it is a mini DND adventure you can play, which will follow the “typical rules” of a normal campaign.

Due to your interest in Dungeons and Dragons, I knew you’d love to hear the news first. 

A Collaboration

I’ve collaborated with fellow author Joanna Mazurkiewicz, and we’re working with an incredible dungeon master as we craft a fantastic One-Shot Adventure.

You’re invitation

I’m writing to invite you to come along as well.

Yes, we are kicking off a $1 One-Shot on Kickstarter campaign, whereby you’ll receive a PDF for The Orc King.

What is the One-Shot about?

The Orc Warlord Throddnak has taken the Elven Princess Eilana of Aerwa captive. It hasn’t been hard to track him and his warband since they’ve left a bloody trail that includes a captured ship leading to an ancient underwater temple.

The Royal Family of the Island nation of Aerwa is confident that their daughter is still alive, despite the hostility between elves and orcs… and now your help is needed! 

With the fate of Aerwa hanging in the balance, it’s up to you and your team to face off against Throddnak and his minions. Will you have what it takes to overcome the challenges and obstacles that await you on this perilous journey? Only time will tell.

This is a 5e one-shot adventure for five characters at level 5. 

With immersive storytelling, exciting gameplay, and unforgettable characters, this one-shot game is a must-play for any fan of fantasy and adventure.

Yes, I know this isn’t my usual fare, but I wanted to test this out before I started to release games connected to my world (ready for the secret… a few are in development at the time of this email). 

Consider this your personal invitation to follow the campaign and support it when it launches.

Head on over to Kickstarter and click on notify at launch. The campaign will have only the one tier for $1.

Press Release: The Rebirth

December 12, 2022 By Tina Glasneck

Richmond, VA – USA Today bestselling author and rising artist Tina Glasneck released her debut EP, The Rebirth, a mesmerizing collection of emotional tracks that take listeners on a captivating journey. 

Filled with raw and powerful vocals, thought-provoking lyrics, and heart-wrenching melodies, The Rebirth showcases Glasneck’s incredible range and artistic vision.

The Rebirth features six heartfelt tracks that showcase Glasneck’s unique blend of melodic and hauntingly beautiful vocals and thought-provoking lyrics. From the upbeat “Rock Shark” to the soul-stirring ballad “Love and Loss,” each track offers a powerful message of resilience and determination. Created to provide readers an even more immersive experience with her forthcoming book, Make Me Howl, Glasneck says that she “wrote the music to have a new way for readers to connect with her fiction world, and the story’s paranormal romance.”

Glasneck is truly a renaissance woman, braiding her talent for storytelling into her music. She is especially proud of the first single released, “Vibe with Me,” which started off as a poem, and is one she included in the actual story of the Make Me Howl, set to release in January 2023.

“I poured my heart and soul into these songs while connecting with these fictional characters,” Glasneck said of the EP. “I want people to feel something when they listen to them, and to be inspired to keep pushing forward no matter what challenges they face.”

Glasneck’s emotive vocals and powerful lyrics have already caught the attention of music critics and fans alike. With the release of The Rebirth, she is poised to make a big impact on the music scene.

“Haunting emotions, unrequited love and heartache, the perfect recipe for the last teen mellow drama, or angst-ridden motion picture,” said Kristen Mondo, a freelance music reviewer about Glasneck’s “Vibe with Me.” “[It] truly seems to be the example of musical prose. [Glasneck’s] music will appeal to lovers of pop, pop/rock, movie soundtracks and teen pop.”

The Rebirth is available now on all major streaming platforms. Don’t miss your chance to experience the emotional journey of Tina Glasneck’s The Rebirth.

Behind-the-Music: Love and Loss

December 11, 2022 By Tina Glasneck

We deserve to be loved and there is nothing wrong with walking away from a situation that doesn’t give you what you need.

As you know, I bleed on the page – be it with books or even in my music.

As I created this soundtrack for my book world, I wanted to deal with something that we don’t always talk about… unrequited love.

I wrote the song ‘Love and Loss’ to explore the pain and heartache of unrequited love. My characters take me on eye-opening journeys for sure. This rock ballad weeps emotion as it grapples with the idea that sometimes, love isn’t enough.

Through powerful and heartfelt lyrics, ‘Love and Loss’ captures the raw and vulnerable emotions of longing and loss. It speaks to the pain and frustration of loving someone who doesn’t love you back, and the realization that sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you can’t make someone love you.

But ‘Love and Loss’ is more than just a sad song – it’s a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is hope. It’s a reminder that we are strong enough to survive heartbreak and that we can find the strength to move on and heal.

I hope that ‘Love and Loss’ will resonate with anyone who has ever experienced the pain of unrequited love, and that it will provide some comfort and solace in their journey toward healing and hope.

Listen to ‘Love and Loss’ now and let its emotive rock melodies and powerful lyrics take you on a journey of love, loss, and the power of resilience.

Many of the tracks on the CD remind me of what you’d hear on a CW drama like The Vampire Diaries, music filled with “haunting emotions, unrequited love and heartache, the perfect recipe…for a teen mellow drama, or angst-ridden motion picture.”

Stream the CD, add it to your playlist, and if you’d like to, order a signed copy of The Rebirth!
