Shades of Silver by Dax Murray and Kyle Rocco East!
30 days ago – Tue, Oct 22, 2024 at 08:03:36 PM

Hey everyone! Long time with nothing to say (except Thank You as always!) - but now I have something I think you'll really like, if you enjoyed CHAMELEON MOON's audiobook! 

The incredible Kyle Rocco East's next project with amazing fellow Kraken author Dax Murray: SHADES AND SILVER! 

Y'all I'm personally so excited for this to get funded - because it promises to be awesome, but also I'm never Not inexpressibly proud of Kyle and everything they do, and I want to hear more from my favorite narrator! And if you've backed/enjoyed CHAMELEON MOON, you probably do too!

So yeah, if you like queer disabled unicorn people by a queer disabled author and narrator (and hate generative AI  "writers" and "narrators") please support HUMAN indie works like this! On principle and also because they rock.

Thank you so much for reading this and still being here with me! I'm unendingly grateful... and if the fates be kind, I'll have something new of my own to share here someday! And in that case, you'll be the first to know. <3

HUGE news: We're nominated for Best Audiobook!
11 months ago – Wed, Dec 20, 2023 at 01:26:00 PM

Y'all, I have Such News, I'm almost incoherent right now!!

The 2023 Indie Ink Awards are afoot, and CHAMELEON MOON is nominated - for several categories!

Including BEST AUDIOBOOK, which YOU MADE HAPPEN! (And can vote to help us win!)

I'm truly over the moon and just! Laid low! ;A; I've never won or even been nominated for anything before, ever, so! This is so much for an indie creator like me!

So, I would be BEYOND honored if you'd consider voting for Chameleon Moon, especially for BEST AUDIO NARRATION!

(You need an account at IndieStoryGeek to vote, but it is very easy to make and they won't spam you lol)

"WTFWN" stands for "Writing The Future We Need," and refers to different kinds of marginalized characters in the story, or its author (I'm all of the above categories too, so it's important to me to write about others who are!). I'm so happy that readers thought CHAMELEON MOON did everyone justice. <3

The important categories are shown in the graphic above, but MOST important of all is BEST AUDIO NARRATION!  I can't express how much incredible narrator Kyle Rocco East deserves it, or how proud I am of how this audiobook has turned out - all thanks to you!

You helped make this audiobook happen, and I think we have a great chance of helping it win a freaking award - and that's just doubly something to be proud of. 

Thank you all so, so much!

It's done. It's here! The Audiobook! Right now!

Yes. Yes. The day is finally here. I both can and can't believe it, and I'm so excited I'm going to vibrate into another dimension.

Chameleon Moon: The Audiobook is finally done (or close enough to it barring any last minute polishes), and ready to share with you! 

 I like Halloween for a wide release date! But until then...

Grab it for your ears! Right here!

You may have to make a BookFunnel account, because that is how you'll probably listen to it, with their free app OR right in your browser, which should work on any device! Please let me know if it doesn't work for you!!

In the coming days I'll probably send you a few more notifs/emails just to make sure everyone has gotten the thing. I want everyone to hear what they helped bring into the world!

(And like it says, please don't share this link with non-backers! This is just for you!)

But above all, thank you. THANK YOU SO MUCH for being here with me on this whole wild journey! First and foremost THANK YOU KYLE, for coming to me with this incredible idea in the first place and putting your entire heart and soul into every performance, and so thoroughly getting it. Thank you Lyssa and Laya for the amazing cover art and design wizardry, thank you Eri, Rosiee, and Intisar for talking me through this confusing and scary project, which turned out to be worth every bit of stress and more. I am probably forgetting more awesome people, but believe me, I mean you too.

And thank you most of all to my wonderful family, for supporting, encouraging, and loving me and all my weirdness throughout this entire process, and in everything else I do. I am the luckiest nerd on the planet. <3

SO. HERE IT IS. ENJOY! I appreciate all of your help and encouragement more than I can possibly ever say... so I hope this book does the trick to start.

All hardcovers ordered! (And audiobook progress)
over 1 year ago – Fri, Apr 28, 2023 at 01:57:41 PM

Hey everybody, just a quick note today to announce that...

ALL special edition hardcovers have been submitted and ordered!

So if you ordered a gorgeous physical copy of the Kickstarter-Exclusive CHAMELEON MOON, THE LIFELINE SIGNAL, or LIFE WITHIN PAROLE, you should get an email in the next few days saying that your book has been printed and shipped!

If you never get one of these after like a week (and it's not in your spam or something), PLEASE let me know, so I can correct whatever went wrong!

In other news, we are making excellent progress with the audiobook itself!! It should be ACTUALLY DONE in the next couple of weeks! 

Thank you all so much for your patience here - the slight delays have either been 1) unavoidable due to health or website nonsense, or 2) because we figured out something that would be really cool, and it took time to implement. MOST have been the second one!!!

As always, thank you so much for being here! I'm so excited to finally get these gorgeous books/sounds into your hands/ears!
