Hi Readers, We’re back. Instead of our regularly scheduled adventure, we’re proud to bring you a preview of Curse Breaker: Sundered. We’ll have full details about when it’ll be on sale in our next newsletter. We just couldn’t get our act together about that for this week. We were too excited about the preview. It starts seconds after the end of Curse Breaker: Falls. In case you forgot, we’re under Mount Eredren and somewhere within the confusing jumble of tunnels called the Lower Quarters where we and unfortunately, the monsters dwell. Enjoy!     CURSE BREAKER: SUNDERED (Preceded by: Curse Breaker: Books … Continue reading The Price of Free Will

Hi Readers! Our scribe was not feeling well this week, but she soldiered on and worked on Sundered. And we did what we do best—cause mayhem—and it looked a little something like this: This is NOT scribe-approved yet, but I just had to show it to you. After all, Papa’s the secret-keeper, not me. 🙂 A little background about how this came to be:  One starry night, our scribe returned home from work to find an argument in progress, and some shady characters (the Adversary, the Ægaldar and Aralore, the villains of our last three books) trying to hack into … Continue reading Who named me?

Hi Readers, We hope you had a great weekend. Our scribe is hard at work on finishing Sundered. We’re getting close to that! I (Ran) might have rearranged things a little, but don’t tell our scribe. She’ll see my changes when she edits the final draft, and we hope that will be soon. Our scribe has added 43,000 words to Sundered since 9/16.  🙂 I also might have bought a 3d dragon model. While our scribe is working on Sundered, we might have played around with some ideas for covers for His Angelic Keeper, the sister series to our Curse Breaker books that stars my … Continue reading Spirit Bear vs Digital Dragon

Hi Readers, This past week, we wished our scribe’s deceased sister, Carolyn, a happy birthday in heaven, and our scribed missed her a lot. We (the cast) implored Carolyn to have a quiet word with my Auntie Sovvan the next time Papa’s Guardian Angel drags her back to heaven. We need her to: stop doing cool things stop encouraging other characters (Nolo, we’re looking at you.) to do cool things so our poor scribe can end Curse Breaker: Sundered. I have big plans for the sequel, but we must get there first! We really wanted Sundered to come out this … Continue reading Deliver us from digital dragons

Hi Readers! Check out what we hope is pretty close to the final cover: We’re extra colorful now. It might need a few adjustments, but our scribe needs a break from it. Too much photoshopping gives her a headache. I might contribute to that by continually asking ‘what’s this,’ and ‘can you try that,’ and my all-time favorite, ‘what does that do?’ As soon as those words leave my mouth, I grab the mouse and start clicking on random things. Our poor scribe has to take the mouse away from me and undo what I did, but hey, it’s fun to … Continue reading Good Vibrations & Bad Dragons

Here’s a draft of the full cover with back, front and spine. I really like that back image…I might beg my scribe to work it into the front cover. hmmm… 😉 Okay, maybe not tonight. My scribe just walked away from the pc… Well, tomorrow’s another day.   –Ran, the glowing son of Sarn 🙂 Continue reading Spine out, this one’s a stunner

Hi Readers!   We’re bright and colorful! This looks like the one! The previous version was a little too dark. 🙂   -Ran, the “extra colorful” son of Sarn 😉 Continue reading We’re extra colorful now.

Hi epic readers!   Are you ready for what we hope is pretty close to the final cover?   Because we are.   This is a final draft that we hope just needs a few tweaks. Amazon took over our previous printer (Createspace) so we had to download a new template to build our cover. That’s why everything is a bit left shifted. We used their guides, but we didn’t know it was off a bit until we cropped out just the front cover.   (We don’t yet have a back cover, but I think we’ll just use the background … Continue reading Oh, how we glow

Hi Readers, We hope you’re having a great day, and that you’re safe. There’s a lot of dangerous weather out there, so be careful! We wanted to show off our new cover or at least a close-to-final draft, but there’s this thing called “rim lighting” that’s supposed to back-light Papa and me, so we stand out. All cover art has that. When done right it, it looks really cool. Without it, Papa and I merge with the background and don’t look right. Since we’re the stars, that’s not good. So we’re trying to achieve that effect in 3d and then … Continue reading Don’t Accept Gifts from Dragons (Even if They’re Yours)

Hi Readers! We don’t have a cover to show you this week, but we think we finally found the ONE. It’s a slightly different camera angle from last week’s version, but it really shows Papa’s protective streak. We also tweaked a few other things from the version you saw last week and put the architectural features back, but they’re from a different angle. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who wrote in and pointed out that my neck had issues, and a few other things we hadn’t seen. All week, our new pc has been rendering the highest … Continue reading The Book Whisperer

Hi Readers, Our new pc arrived, and we hit the ground rendering. 😉 Check out the latest cover image here. If you missed last week’s adventure, go read it here. We recommend reading our adventure from two weeks ago since we’re picking up right where that story left off (as promised). In the meantime, we’ll get back to where we left off two weeks ago. I know it’s irregular, but you’ll see why we had to do it this way in a minute. I promise it’ll be worth it. And this is Ran, by the way, the adorable son, and … Continue reading By My Claws and Fire

Hi Readers, It’s the moment you’ve been waiting for. We finally got our new pc set up, and we rendered what we think will be the final version of our cover. It’s pretty epic and we got Papa’s pendant in there. I wield that crystal with deadly efficacy in Sundered, and I try very hard not to choke Papa in the process since it won’t let us take it off. I do not always succeed. We’re still deciding how best to draw in the leather cord Papa wears that crystal on. It’s black, so it’s hard to see. What do … Continue reading We are Epic Fantasy

We’re men in green tights–manly men! Well, Papa is. I’m his exceptionally green sidekick, and this week, we’re crashing offices and beating up on some misbehaving PCs. Continue reading Meet the Little Green Men of Fantasy
