Latest Updates from Our Project:

Printer Cancellation/Re-Order
10 months ago – Mon, Jun 09, 2025 at 10:11:07 AM

Quick update here.

To make a long story short; we had an issue with the first big paperback order, leading to the order being cancelled by the printer.

All the paperbacks for the Kickstarter have been re-ordered. 

I'm so ready to get these books on hand so we can get them all signed, and shipped out to everyone.

The first batch of paperbacks are ordered!

I've placed the massive ~$2,500 order for books from Amazon. These are all the new edition paperbacks of books 1-5. 

Since The Darklight's War is printed through Ingram Sparks, that will be a separate order to process, for nearly another ~$1k.

The T-shirts are also done and ready for pickup. I'm hoping to swing by and grab them this week.

As soon as all the books come in, Alaina has graciously offered to help me start building all the orders!

Blessings,
Tiger

Release Day for The Darklight's War!
12 months ago – Tue, Apr 08, 2025 at 05:06:51 AM

The long awaited release day for The Darklight's War is finally here!

Today I released the epic conclusion to Theros' journey, which can be found here.

The paperback version of The Darklight's War is in progress. Due to the sheer size of the book, I've had to go with IngramSpark (rather than KDP). The files have been submitted and are still in the review process.

This means that all the production efforts are nearly completed.

From a Kickstarter perspective, I have to order the physical copies of the books and I'm still waiting on T-shirts. Once they're all accounted for, we will begin preparing for fulfillment.

Blessings,
Tiger

Tales from Darkness ebook is finished!
about 1 year ago – Sat, Mar 01, 2025 at 12:21:17 PM

Hello Everyone!

Today I hit the publish button on the ebook of Tales from Darkness (2nd Edition) has been processed for publishing. That's now 4 of 6!

Because of this Kickstarter, we will also be releasing the first-ever paperback version of TfD. That manuscript is already formatted and ready to go. I'm just awaiting the print cover with the updated typography. As soon as the artist sends it over, I will upload it and submit it for review. 

I'm already working on book #5, Keepers of the Flame, which means we are still on track for the April release for the 6th and final book, The Darklight's War.

The finish line is close!

Dragon's Fire (3rd Edition) is Finished, THotFK well underway!
about 1 year ago – Tue, Feb 11, 2025 at 07:27:14 AM

Quick update here!

Last week, I was able to get both ebook and print versions of Dragon's Fire (3rd Edition) published via Amazon. This new version includes all the goodies that you amazing backers made possible, including new cover art, interior art, and the special glossary. 

The 3rd book in the series, The Halls of the Fallen King, is almost fully formatted. I've got to work out a few last minute details. It's quite possible that this one could be published this week!

Then we'll be onto Book 4 (of 6).

I've also found two local customer print shops. I'll be connecting with them in the next week to see if they are able to handle the final swag order (T-shirts & posters). All the other swag is already on hand and ready to go.
