Hey, This is Ran, Sarn’s son from the Curse Breaker series and his sidekick, and I’m back with an update. Actually, I’m not back because Melinda is yanking control of the keyboard away from me. But that’s okay because through the magic of voice typing, I can still write to you. So there, Scribe, take that! You think you can take this newsletter from me? Well, you can’t. I’m sorry you had to witness that. We try to keep all the action inside our books, but sometimes it spills out. What did my faithful Scribe want to say? Why do … Continue reading Thank You and I might be in some trouble…

Hey, This is Ran, Sarn’s son and unacknowledged sidekick from the Curse Breaker series, I’m back with good news. What’s the good news? I wish I could say our project funded, but it’s not yet. We’re close though. We just need $123 in pledges to meet our goal. If you missed my last email, the project funded then dropped back to not funded when some pledges dropped. It’s a tough time of year, so we totally understand. Everyone has to do what’s right for their wallet, and I’m grateful for the 17 backers that pledged their support for this project.  … Continue reading We’re not giving up!

Hello all! I’m just dropping by to entertain you and give you a quick update about our Kickstarter and of course, I’m in trouble again. This is becoming a recurring section in our newsletter, and I’m not sure how I feel about that. But let’s dive into what I did wrong this time. Melinda noticed I got the hardcover prices wrong. This is Ran, Sarn’s son and sidekick from the Curse Breaker series, and I just want to point out that math is hard for fictional characters. Since the printer is in the UK, we have to convert everything from … Continue reading All or Nothing

Hey, This is Ran, Sarn’s son from the Curse Breaker series, and I hope you’re excited. Our first Kickstarter is now launching on Sept. 27! Some things happened not with our books, so don’t worry. We’re fine. But those things forced Melinda, my fearless scribe, to move the Kickstarter back to the date we originally wanted—September 27. Why that date? Well, September 27th would have been Melinda’s sister’s 39th birthday. And we have a reputation to uphold. We try to always release a book on or close to that date to honor the promise Melinda made to her sister to … Continue reading Kicking the Gods Out

Hey, Last week, I promised two things: Let’s start with Kickstarter first since we’re thinking about entering Rogue Gods: Gateway to Hell in a contest. It begins with a high-stakes heist and only gets more epic from there. Plus, it’s an entrypoint to our world, so it might be the perfect fit for a contest we just found out about. If we enter that contest, that may affect the publication date since the winning entries will have their opening chapters featured in an anthology put together by an author with some seriously awesome writing credits under his belt. His resume … Continue reading Sun, Books, and a war god, oh my!
