Happy weekend, everyone! We’re still doing well in the contest, but need a surge to keep consistent pace and challenge that lead pack. Remember, once we reach 60 backers, I’ll hold a raffle to give away a special limited edition signed artwork. Please help me complete my dream of becoming a writer/illustrator. Either that, or it’s probably off to Arkham Asylum for me. (By the way, my wife urged that I also apologize for misspelling Gryffindor in my last post. Shame on me, and 100 points to Slytherin.)

Meird, Like Weird

Now, just what kind of fantasy is this story? Regarding the world itself, it’s very much a mix of Narnia, Coraline, and Alice in Wonderland. Like those stories, most of the narrative takes place in a fantasy setting once our heroes journey to the dream realm. Without giving too much away, the strange land is known as Meird, the quirky, distorted home of all dreams.

Once in Meird, our heroes notice some strange absurdities. Like, why is there an ocean in the sky? Or, why does the weather seem like it’s alive? And is that flaming sword hilt significant, or just a party trick? Or is the writer just a hard-core Holy Grail fan? 

Back me and find out! 

Stay well,

Kevin

Hello lovely readers! I hope you’re having a relaxing weekend, or at least a productive one :) 

I want to thank you all for pre-ordering, following, recommending and reviewing The War of Wind and Moon, Season One - your support means the world! A special thank you to Mike Mongo, author of The Astronaut Instruction Manual, for his boundless enthusiasm, advice and support as I try to work out how to be on the funding side of crowd funding (and for tweets like this one which left me speechless!)

 If you followed Wind and Moon before four or five days ago, I’d like to invite you to re-visit the project page to read the slightly re-jigged logline and blurb, thanks to several comments and private messages I received. While all the comments were very supportive of the concept of turning abused children into superheroes, I realized that I’d presented Wind and Moon as a ‘worthy’ concept rather than as a rollicking good story - which it is! The new logline and blurb focus on my protagonist, Mia, and her story, instead. If you were intrigued enough to follow but not pre-order then perhaps this could tempt you to take that next step! 

Later next week, I’ll be putting up chapter 10, in which we will see how Mia, Tak and the Kazemotos will deal with Mia’s collapse and spontaneous attainment of super-vigilance. Chapter 8 & 9 were Mia’s ‘radioactive spider-bite’ scenes - the origin story (for Season One is exactly that: a super-hero origin story) moves into the next phase, now! 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, I look forward to updating you again soon!

Wishing you courage and creativity, 

 Darcy.

Hi all,  Thought I would let you know how things are going on the back end of the book.  Things have been progressing well. I’ve started work on the second draft of chapter two.  There’s a lot of good ideas in it right now.  Some need to be moved to later in the book and some need detail. The one thing that won’t change, is that Josiah will get to meet Michaela, The Guardian when human. It will be interesting.
