Happy Friday! Just wanted to start off by thanking, Andrew Baird, RH Webster, Christopher Leone, Billy O’keefe, Abigail Burton and Autumn Gass
 for their purchases in the last couple of days. You guys are Amazing!

As usual we’ve released another two chapters this morning. "Chapter 23: If Everyone Knew They Could Change The World." is a personal favorite chapter of mine and one that we get comments about a lot. We find Cade and Tarja meeting and the scene hints at a long standing relationship between the two. This chapter is also very special as it marks the end of the build up of our story. I don’t want to spoil anything but from here on out we cash in on the character’s we’ve established and the story becomes a real roller-coaster. Check it out and let us know what you think!!!

Afternoon, guys! So today’s chapters take the reader back to the Streets of San Francisco. A lot has changed in the last 500 years and we see how segmented society has become. Lithia and Vijay return the story and we finally get to see one of my favorite locations in the story: Grace Cathedral, a real world place at the top of the California and Taylor hill here in San Fran.

I also wanted to give a shout out to @Shannon Vierra who found this awesome image that evokes the same imagery!

@Torrast  Yeah seriously. I’m just glad I had nothing to do with the creation of that vid. The original publisher put it together as a bit of a pitch but I never liked it.

A little early concept art of what the ending of chapter 19 might look like:



So we’ve released 19 chapters as of today. So far you’ve met our entire principal cast and so far they’ve been leading very different lives seemingly very far apart from each other. We’ve done this so that you, as the story experiencer, really get a sense of how large our universe is and just how each character lives before we throw them together and all hell breaks loose.

One of the things we wanted to target with this rewrite was the development of the characters earlier on in this story. Two unanimous points of feedback we received with the original version of The amaranth was that the characters need just a tiny bit more fleshing out so that we could feel how different and disparate their lives were and how amazing and heart pounding our 3rd act was. We’re not touching the second half of this story nearly as much as we have the first part.

A few of you have been so kind as to shoot us your feedback and we are so grateful!

I remember that video! I think it still works well, although it does mildly spoil the nature of theHelix earring for a newcomer (or maybe it it’s seems that way because I know how ithe book does, or at least used to, end).

You guys wanna see something funny? I almost forgot this existed... Here is the book trailer for the original Version of "The Amaranth".

Happy Valentines day!

Yesterday’s convention in San Ramon was a blast! I had never been to one of these things before. Between LARPer’s, Warhammer 40k Players and Game Designers trying to release their first products, I got to meet a lot of new and interesting people who were just as passionate about their games as much as I am this story. I was able to stir a tiny bit of notice for this story and hoping people people will start sharing The Amaranth Chronicles with their friends. 

As of today those of you who have pre-ordered should have access to 11 total chapters. YES there are more coming!

More updates!
Just published two more chapters. Note that Chapter 2-8 serve as our stories prologue a bit. We’ve tried to characterize each of our POV Characters with unique writing styles. Really hoping that comes through.

Additionally today marks the beginning of our Convention Campaign! Yay! Me and a small team are heading to a series of Sci-Fi and Fantasy conventions for the next 3 weekends to meet other nerds who might be interested in this story! Today we’ll be at DunDra Con in San Ramon California. Are any of you going to this event? Drop us a line here in the comments!

Happy Friday, guys! If you’re tired of me filling up your inbox then you haven’t seen anything yet. We’ve finished up nearly 26 chapters and will be posting them 2 and 3 at a time. I’d love any feedback you guys have including chapter titles for these last 4 posted chapters. This area of the story has gone under major renovations and Chris and I have been trouble coming up with names for them. Let us know what you think!


Hey guys. Sorry for the delay. Today marks the beginning of a regular release schedule for the chapters of the story. You may notice excerpt and chapters disappearing from the preview and that is because we’re now releasing the story linearly. That being said i’m going to start hiding Art Pieces at the end of each chapter, you know, as like a kind of reward. :)
