What a ride!

The Kickstarter for the limited edition ended Oct 25 and was funded at a whopping 3,500! I'm so thankful for your support. What is even more fun is that in my desperation to think of a new stretch goal, I chose to record a few chapters of the next installment. Layla. Now Ian's Realm has been on the market for 10 years and has been in the hands of thousands of readers. Layla, not so much. One reason I think is because I ended the trilogy too well. No one cared to go on even though I had some reviewers (well, one) say they didn't want Ian to leave the Realm.

So Layla came into being. Now Layla not only continues the journey and predicament of the Realm, but it also continues Ian's coming of age. He starts off the series as a 15 year old. In part 2 he has just finished high school and returns to the magical world, is trusted with some pretty critical responsibilities, and proves himself capable.

But Ian has never really tackled his softer-side emotions, nor the part of growing up that involves a woman. So when he returns to rescue Abbi he encounters Layla, a seductive young woman who has a mission of her own. A new trial for Ian, and we wonder will he pass?

The new version of Layla will be bundled with a book I published as Fallen Morning since both those stories are actually one story arc. Be on the look out for it.

Not only do we follow Ian's dilemma in this book but we meet a new character named Whomticker. A little wizard who steals magic. In fact, since January is the Make 100 project month, Whomticker is going to be charitable enought to throw out some of his magic to you all.

Have a good Halloween and stay safe.

FYI The Keeper is now available to the public!
