Hey,
I’m back to entertain you and remind you that our Kickstarter campaign ends in 48 hours on Oct. 14 at 10:56 AM Eastern Time. So now’s your last chance to back this project.

Curse Breaker: Special Edition Hardcover Omnibuses
9 action-packed fantasy adventures full of found family and reluctant heroes collected into 3 limited edition hardcover omnibuses. Back it now!
You’ll get backer perk #1, an ebook copy of When Worlds Collide, a short story where Papa and I go to our Scribe’s office and interrupt a meeting.
(This is Ran, Sarn’s son from the Curse Breaker series, and his chief social media officer. At least I feel like I’m his publicist.
And no, he still doesn’t know about the books or the Kickstarter, or the audiobooks or anything really outside our books. I keep him in the dark. So please don’t tell him!)
And now for your entertainment, I convinced Melinda, my faithful scribe, to narrate the first chapters of Curse Breaker Darkens (so Jerlo doesn’t come after me) and Curse Breaker Faceted. ← I’m adorable and I try to get Papa to quit spying on people.
Check out both episodes here:

- Fantasy, Lore, & More: Curse Breaker Darkens ← tell Jerlo about this! He’s convinced I don’t like him. I don’t, but you’ll see why in Chasing Dragons, book 11 of the Curse Breaker series.

- Watch on YouTube
- Fantasy, Lore, & More: Curse Breaker Faceted ← This book has the best opening scene, and it’s not a coincidence that I co-star in it.
Both episodes have a short update on our Kickstarter then Melinda launches into the narration. I helped her by scrolling through the story so she didn’t lose her place.
