Kickstarter Announcement

That’s right, I’m revealing it with just the title. We’re doing a Kickstarter!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/redeyesandtiredlungs/red-eyes-and-tired-lungs-an-anthology-of-wildfire

I’m planning on launching it January 1st, so make sure to click the “Notify me on launch” button. This Kickstarter will be to fund the audiobook edition of the anthology, so you can also listen to all the amazing stories and poems!

This anthology has 17 contributors, with a total of 16 poems and 12 stories (fiction and non-fiction). I should add a caveat of “so far” since there is a few more writers I am working with to get their work ready for inclusion.

What sort of stories and poems will you find in this anthology?

There is…

… a poem grappling with waiting for news after an evacuation…
… a story about the beast that haunts during the summer season…
… a poem about trying to find the bright side in a smoky summer…
… a story about a loveable dog dealing with an evacuation…
… a poem about the anatomy of a wildfire…
… a story about a break-up as wildfires get closer…
… a poem about the potential future of Vancouver…
… a story about a dryad who tries to locate the source of a wildfire…
… an acrostic-type poem that lists all the types of vegetation and habitats lost in wildfires…
… a story about a little boy who converses with flames…
… a good-bye to the color red, to the fires, until they come again…

And many more! If you want to read these, well, check back soon!

I’m actually so incredibly excited about where this is at, how it’s going, and where we are heading. It’s been amazing working with so many talented writers as they share their heartfelt works. I’ve been able to learn and try so many new things with this project, trying on all sorts of hats as this anthology comes together. I can’t wait until I can finally hold it in my hands.

So, that’s why I’ve been so radio-silent and terrible at updating this. I’ve been very busy, I swear! That’s not even to talk about what I’ve got going on in my non-author life. But I’ve been working hard to get all this together and have it look as beautiful as I am able to make it.

Thank you for reading!
