This is rather heavy and serious, but it's also somehow feels hopeful that both Sarah and Ken are willing and able to share their experiences like this.
It's A Month of Rain & Reads and we wish you a quiet morning.

New graphic, since I now have 7 books in this series!
You can read the bottom without those on the top row and vice versa.

What happens if you try to structure a prose story like a long JRPG?
A semi-episodic series of novellas!
Unblock the road, visit a new city, struggle to cross an ocean, unravel your party's backstory, and find lore at the mysterious organization's secret base~

Looks like a gorgeous project from a human I think is just the tops. Please give this a moment of your time & consideration, even if just to look at the cool artwork. The sample I read is just superb, a unique, intriguing, funny & dare I say zesty, world.
Pledges have slowed now, but I'd really love to hit the next stretch goal of more art!

PANTOMIME & SHADOWPLAY (El's Version) are out now (SHADOWPLAY released this week!), and MASQUERADE will be out in 2026. Would you like to read a whimsical, cosy-adjacent gaslamp fantasy? An inters3x, nonbinary lead joins a circus of magic and later takes to the magician's stage. Found family.

Lives of Bitter Rain, by Adrian Tchaikovsky (pub by Head of Zeus) is a great bite-sized novella in the world of the Tyrant Philosophers that fleshes out a key character; a character-driven novella in contraposition with the choral play that are the novels
