Thank You | Now What?

We did it. You did it.

Literally, at the last second, some kind backers pushed us right over the $250k mark! Green Ember: Helmer in the Dragon Tomb book + game is 125% funded and is in the Top 5 All-Time Children’s Publishing.

What a fun ending.

Thank you to everyone who backed and shared our Kickstarter. What a great start to this new adventure story and its two ways to enter into the IMMERSIVE and EXPANSIVE Green Ember experience.

We’re happy. We’re grateful.

FAQ: I missed the Kickstarter! When will the book and game be available for purchase?

A: In the fall. The book will be available at the Story Warren Store and the game will be available on Steam. (Please take a moment to wishlist it on Steam.)

What Now?

Well first, I’m going to take a nap. 100 hours or so should do it. Then I’ll take some vitamins, drink a gallon of water, eat fistfuls of peanut butter m&ms (#selfcare), and get right back at it.

We like to have fun here but I’m serious about this calling to share New Stories with an Old Soul with children and families all over.

“My Place BESIDE You…”

That’s the start of the sacred oath the characters recite in The Green Ember that resonated deeply with me when it first flowed from my fingers into the tale and has since moved so many readers.

I don’t view my work as a platform to achieve “elite artist status” but as a magical-ordinary vocation where God has called me to be an ally in imagination to families who are desperate for daring adventures that are dangerous to the darkness. Tales that help make us all dangerous to the darkness.

So it’s not just in the stories. It’s in the calling of creating and sharing them too.

My place BESIDE you. Always.
