Our Kickstarter is currently in Pre-launch!

Hello readers and writers and more!

I wanted to throw in a few quick updates about the anthology so far, but before we get into the details…

Check out this book trailer!

I made this trailer a little while ago to showcase just a few of the stories and poems we’ll have in the anthology!

Please make sure you follow the Kickstarter to get more information about our launch date: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/redeyesandtiredlungs/we-make-the-village-an-anthology-of-community

How is the process going so far?

Well, 26 authors have already signed their contracts for their works to be included in the anthology! I’ve sent out a payment to all but the most recent three, and it looks like I might have a couple more contracts to send out in the next couple weeks! So, we may end up with a couple more names on our list (go check out the Kickstarter! A list of the contributing authors is there!

We have 22 short stories, 4 flash fictions, 6 poems, and 1 non-fiction all edited and in the middle of formatting so far, and there still may be a few more to come.

Another exciting feature: I have a local artist doing some artwork within the book! I can’t wait to showcase them artwork; it’s lovely to be able to add even more to the anthology to make it amazing.

I think that’s all for now. Keep a close eye on that Kickstarter, as I’m planning on launching February 1st, which is coming up quick!

Red Eyes and Tired Lungs Audiobook Sample

That’s right, it’s coming soon!

I’m still working hard on the audiobook, and I’ve even hired a second editor to help manage the workload. I don’t have a predicted date yet – these things take quite a bit of time! – but we do seem to be in the home stretch.

For now, I’d like to share with you this short, two minute audio sample so you can get a feel for all the awesome voices helping make this project a reality.

If you’d like to support the anthology, please consider picking up a copy of the eBook, which is available now! You can purchase it just about anywhere – even Amazon, Kobo, Apple, Fable, Smashwords, and more! If you would like to support the anthology but don’t have the funds to purchase directly, that’s okay – I’ve even made it available to libraries! If you have Hoopla or Overdrive (Libby), you should be able to pick up a copy of the eBook through those services. Then, please leave us a review and tell more people about it! Here’s the Books2Read link: https://books2read.com/u/bM2dQB If you don’t see your preferred retailer on that list, though, double check for it anyways. You’ll probably find it!

Waiting for the paperback edition? I’m hoping to get that into wide distribution soon! For now, if you live in Prince George, I have a few spare copies left from my initial print run available. If you’d like to purchase a copy (signed by the PG authors!) please send me a message and we can set it up.

That’s all for now. Back to editing for me!
