Hey everyone, I want to give a special thanks to the two purchases I've already received. I'm really thrilled that there's some excitement for this story. It's been mostly a side-project while I've been toiling away on The Children of the Forest, but the Sword & Laser Contest (Part Deux) seemed like the perfect time to get the ball rolling!
I will be extending my promotion for The Children of the Forest to this story as well. Meaning that the first 50 buyers will receive a custom card, decorated by the lovely and extremely talented Cara Weston, author of She is the End. It's a fantastic story, and I can't recommend it enough, if you haven't yet, go over and give it a look.

Also, I will be extending backers to The Darkest Places the same reward I've featured on The Children of the Forest. Every purchase nets you X 1 chance for a drawing on December 10th to win a $250.00 Amazon Gift Card. If you purchase a copy of both of my books, I will double each entry (X 4 tickets total!!)
So thanks again for the follows and the support, and make sure you spread the word for The Darkest Places so I can get this thing published!

Prizes?!?!
Everyone who leaves a review on December 19th by 6pm ET will be eligible to win one of our fantastic general prizes:

A great chance to get involved and win some stuff!
Hello! So, as I'm sure most of you already have as well, I saw the Sword & Laser contest announcement and although I'm still working on Phantasia bit by bit, I thought I'd try my hand at the contest too with this idea:
"Without Light (working title) - A science-fiction story set in a world consumed by shadow-like beasts, and where a mother, along with her son, must set out to find her missing husband."
