The Binding of Rán

By

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!

This is huge, and we’re so happy that you are jumping in to support this supernatural horror anthology (think more Stephen King than Texas Chainsaw Massacre).

Kickstarter is a funding platform that helps creative projects get “started” and off the ground. 

For publishing, Kickstarter is another way for independent and small press authors to gear up their releases, but also a way to offer an entire experience around their books.

There are tons of ways that you can support a Kickstarter campaign, too, from backing the project to even just sharing about it with your circle of friends. With the holiday season approaching, Kickstarter will be a great way to find one-of-a-kind gifts for those on your list too. 

Thank you for believing in this project! We’re in the final 6 days of this Kickstarter campaign and are closing in on $10k for this anthology. We are ecstatic about the massive outpouring of support that we’ve received. Thank you so very much!

Now is your chance to back so you can get in on these wonderful creature art prints. Yes! Here is a preview of the art being created for the Darkest of Dreams for a stretch goal. Aren’t these wonderful? There will be 17 of them too! 

When you support authors, it doesn’t just help us but also the great creatives we collaborate with to create content. Physical art prints mean you can also have a collectible connected to this limited campaign.

MAKE ME HOWL on Kickstarter

By

Make Me Howl Special Hardback Edition

Why this Kickstarter project? Why now?
 
In 2021, we found ourselves in the midst of a pandemic, and like many, I sought to create.
 
But my health had other ideas.
 
Instead of thriving, my body was barely surviving, and in April 2021, I grew quite ill. 
 
I tried at-home remedies, not understanding what was happening - hoping that I just needed to kick my feet up and rest. 
 
Maybe I was overworking myself, I thought. 
 
But when things didn’t improve, I finally went to the doctor. This resulted in a slew of medication and a treatment plan.  
 
Yet, instead of improving things worsened.
 
My lovely ochre skin took on a grayish hue, my eyes dimmed, and I grew so weak that I could barely walk up the stairs in my house, let alone try to leave it.
I was a prisoner in my body, trapped, as a tsunami of darkness threatened to pull me under.
 
I didn't know what to do...where to go, and in finding no answers, I knew I needed to advocate for myself, too.
 
One day, while feeling overwhelmingly weak, I had a talk with myself, and I promised that once I got better, I’d never allow myself merely to survive. 
 
Instead, I would kick down doors, blaze paths, and discover new ways to thrive.
I'd shake off all doubts and become the Tina of my dreams. 
 
Finally, with my iron levels so low, emergency surgery was the answer.
 
During my months of recovery, that is when Sunflower and Killian truly showed up. But for Sunflower, she wished to communicate only through heart-wrenching poetry. She took me along this journey of healing, loss, unrequited love, and self-discovery.
 
I truly believe that it is the words of story that saved me, giving me hope, to choose the life of my dreams over the fear that sought to pull me into an eternal slumber, and this I do not write lightly… 
 
For in the power of story I found strength. As Kate Bush so eloquently sings, “Running up that hill" I then chose hope over fear, love over loss, to thrive instead of merely surviving….
 
The power of this story and these characters continue to push me on.  
 
Now, it’s your chance to join this amazing journey, too, as we climb to new heights together.
