“Low-Earth Diadem.”
It’s that feeling you get far past the noon of night, when, as your day comes to a close, things begin, at last, to make sense.
It’s that urging that, if you could just grasp that feeling and hold its heart close in your hands, staying up through the dark and into the second day, you could achieve everything.
It’s that hastening of sleep which fights that urging, telling you that everything can be left for the morning.
It’s that pleading in the back of your mind; it begs you to push past the hastening, for in the morning, nothing will be as clear as it was in this moment.
And yet, every night, you always give in, knowing that real life will not forgive your whims.
And every morning you await the end of the day; you await that clarity and the chance to try again, assuring yourself it will be different this time.
Define insanity.
Then… turn the music a little louder and put on a fresh pot of coffee.
COLOR OF A MIRROR
Can’t believe I’m finally revealing this project... feels like I’ve been working on it forever. But yes! Here it is! I wrote a dark science fiction novel--and what’s more, is it has an original soundtrack thanks to the ever-talented Josh McCausland!
After a year of trying to find my way into the realm of traditional publishing, I have decided to pursue self-publishing through a crowd-funding model, because this project extends to more than just the writing. It’s about the aesthetic and the music, and all of it together... publishing in this less-traditional way allows me to craft the final product I’ve always envisioned and really showcase the vision in my head.
I’ll be talking more about it in the coming days, and posting some further insights, but for now, I’ll leave you with this: if you like the lyrical writing style of Patrick Rothfuss that lingers on language and character, plus the brooding futures of William Gibson and movies like Blade Runner... this book might be for you.
Coming to Kickstarter on Nov. 01, 2022. I hope you’ll join me on this journey.
Brush pen... but with real pen.
