One hundred fifty thousand books later, and I have finally reached a point that many creators only dream of: My first Kickstarter project launch! The project will begin running on June 12th, so if you want to contribute, please visit this link here. 

I've been a bibliophile my entire life, and the fantasy genre has always held a special place in my heart. I remember every trip to the library or bookstore as a child. The smell, sound, and feeling of walking into one, even to this day, still brings a smile to my face. I can remember being greeted as a child, by row upon row of stunning and colorful books and wondering if mine might be among them one day. The one format that Amazon doesn't offer is hardback books, the type that lasts forever. The ones you can read over and over, without the cover bending and never sitting straight again (you know what I'm talking about)!

Supermage came to me one night as I was lying in bed. I had previously tried - and failed - to self-publish a book, and for about two months, I refused to write. But finally, as the book continued to bounce around in my head, I had to give in and at least try. I saved for three months to have enough money to afford a good cover and editor, and after hundreds of hours of work, Supermage was finally published.

I resonate with the main character, Morgan, very well, as I'm a bit of an outcast and don't have many friends. His story brought me strength and the freedom to pursue a career in writing.

Supermage is an Epic Fantasy GameLit book. That means it is set in a fantasy world, with aspects of a role-playing game incorporated as part of the plot (think Ready Player One, only less futuristic). The plot follows Morgan, a powerless street orphan suffering from memory loss, malnutrition, and poor treatment by the city's guards. His only friend is Sarah, the daughter of the city lord, and when Morgan finally discovers how powerful he truly is, the story really takes off!

As an avid collector of hardback books, it's been my dream to see a book of mine published in that format. So, I turn to you, the fans of fantasy—those who can spend an entire day perusing a genuinely epic novel to help me realize my dream. Thank you for your consideration, and I hope to see this book published soon!
