Weekend Author Spotlight!
This weekend I wanted to highlight a few authors whose projects have caught my eye! I am focusing specifically on those that are funding. I’m sure many of you have already come across these titles but just in case you haven’t take a gander, follow, and help these gifted wordsmiths achieve their goal.
The Sleeping Man
The last of the dreamwalkers seeks for answers in the long lost Compendium, but the greatest mystery lies within his own past.
“Carignan draws you in the world of dream effortlessly. The Sleeping Man coaxes the reader to enter the dreamscape of an elegant, otherworldly land. Get lost in the dream!”

Borehole Bazaar
A slight twist on the traditional hero, the protagonist fails to escape capture and emotionally breaks before finding inner strength.
“Magnificent worldbuilding! The culture is palpable and thriving. It jumps out at you so fiercely you can almost smell the Borehole Bazaar. Beyond the well-crafted world, you find characters that feel like we do, fear, love, and stress. It feels real and stays engaging.”

The Traveler’s Cup
I’m being boarded onto a military-grade starship about to be launched into the middle of a civil war between the Star Dragons and Celestial High Wizards, hoping to make it through alive. No one has completed this mission. Tri-annually for centuries we’ve sent ships and not once have they returned.
“Dude Star Dragons and Celestial High Wizards! Do you honestly need anything else?”

Mechcraft
A teen with the ability to control a swarm of shape-shifting nanobots must use his power to turn the tables on the warring factions that want to control or destroy him. It’s The Matrix meets Harry Potter in this fast-paced sci-fi thriller.
"It’s all about the suspense! Fitzpatrick has blended the awkward nature of being a teen with the elements of nanobot puberty. The dialogue is fresh and feels natural. The action is well paced and leaves you white knuckling your tablet as you read! Mechcraft is fun, engaging, and downright clever! When do I get my nanobot powers?!"

Tantalus Depths
The Diamelen’s survey mission to Tantalus 13 takes an unexpected turn when the entire planet turns out to be an ancient artificial structure. What lies in the heart of Tantalus? And why is the crew’s AI, SCARAB, willing to kill to keep its secret?
“I’m sorry, I can’t do that Dave! This harkens back to 2001 but gives hard science fiction a serious upgrade. The suspense of deep space exploration is ever present in the depths of Tantalus 13. Tantalus Depths gives hard science fiction a face lift by keeping you floating down the river of intrigue!”

The Last Faoii
After her monastery is attacked and her sisters slaughtered, young Kaiya-faoii is left alone to fight back against her uncle’s dark army, or watch him enslave an entire nation.
“Gritty, bone-crunching, blood-soaked action! Disorientation, confusion, and gore punctate the dark, gripping intro to this promising adventure!”
