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.
