EMPIRE OF RUIN: New release, coming to online retailers soon. Get a sneak peek here!
|
Empire of Ruin: Digital Book Romeo & Juliet meet Norse mythology in this YA fantasy where the world is invaded by mythical dragons, hunting for their lost queen. For fans of Cold Mountain and Winter's Bone and stories with a Southern voice, for those who love strong women characters who can survive against all odds and who will do whatever's necessary to save those they love. |
PLEASE NOTE: The retail versions of Empire of Ruin will contain no generative AI content or illustrations. This includes both the digital book and the print book, on all retailers. However, you can still purchase the illustrated versions from my personal store.
Also, I will be gifting a few items to those who purchase the retail version of Empire. Just check the "Would You Like More?" section at the back of the your retail book. There, you'll find a QR code to scan. Once it's been scanned, it will take you to a Secret Page on my website where you can download YA-appropriate, no spice extras that were made for the book.
These items can be download for free and they were created for my Empire of Ruin Kickstarter campaign. These items may change from time to time, but may include such things as a map, a 2-page spread of character cards, some recipes, and/or a special 2025 Kitten calendar that features photos of my foster-fail kitten, Beau.
Each free item will be labeled whether it contains generative AI or not.

First Launched Kickstarter
|
For many authors, both independent and traditional, Kickstarter has become a great place to launch new books and special edition books. When I run a campaign, backers (readers) can purchase a digital book or a print book before these items go on sale in other retail outlets. Also, there are often extras like bookmarks, stickers, digital character cards, digital maps from the story, and PDF coloring books. If you want, you can check out my previous campaigns for Valiant here and Fathom here.
EMPIRE OF RUIN is a new book and the launch was be done on Kickstarter in 2024. Look below for a sneak peek preview of the first chapter and some of the color illustrations that will be in the hardback. Stretch goal for this book included: Gold foil on the dust jacket, 2-page color map, select 2-page color illustrations, and a 2-page color spread of character cards. LEFT: Charlotte Buchanan, the main character and the narrator in EMPIRE OF RUIN. She lives in a small village in the Appalachian Mountains and the book is told in her unique Southern voice. |
