We funded on our fourth day, and now there are only three days left in this campaign!!!

Now we have a special flash goal! 

If we hit 30 backers by Thursday, we will unlock character art for Elena, Raphael’s lost love. (Digital and physical stickers.)

Also, we’re really close to unlocking our second regular stretch goal—if we do that, everyone will get a brand-new short story featuring a key section of The Other Side of the Horizon from Naya Azlynn’s point of view. 

Thank you all so much for your support! If you’re excited, please share with your friends!

If you like steampunk adventure, feel free to check out the Kickstarter for a Special Edition release of The Other Side of the Horizon.

Have a great day!

Welcome to The Other Side of the Horizon! I’m posting these first four chapters as a preview. The Kickstarter campaign for a brand-new Special Edition trade paperback and hardback launches on Tuesday, September 24th!

Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1

The hospital was crowded and noisy. Sobs and moans from the injured combined with the wails of families mourning lost loved ones to create a din loud enough to make a deaf man’s head hurt. The survivors of Port Ruby were packed into the hospital like tinned fish.

Eight year-old Dale Mortensen huddled in a blanket on a narrow cot on the far side of the room, nursing a broken arm in a cast. He sported a large scrape on one cheek— where his face had slammed into the trunk of the tree he’d been clinging to for dear life—and his brown hair flopped limply into his hazel eyes. He had not spoken a word to anyone in five days. Not even ‘please’ and ‘thank you’, which would surely have disappointed his mother.

Had she been alive to be disappointed, that is.

This is one of the major projects I have been working on this year. I am so excited to finally announce that in honor of its upcoming 11th anniversary (and also to prepare for a brand-new prequel coming in 2025), I am re-releasing The Other Side of the Horizon, my YA steampunk portal fantasy, with a beautiful special edition hardback and paperback!

The Other Side of the Horizon Special Edition features a gorgeous new cover, a lovely cog edge design, and beautiful new interior formatting. (And an amazing new alternate design on the hardback case laminate!)

Regular paperback and hardcover editions will be available, but this Special Edition will NEVER be available at retailers.

The Kickstarter starts on Tuesday, September 24th, but if you follow this link you can follow the campaign and be notified the moment it goes live. (Or click on the banner.) It’s going to be so much fun!!!

This is one of my favorite books, and I’m so excited to be able to offer a special edition!
