WE DID IT.

104 backers. $7,352 at the official campaign end. The Heretic's Guide #audiobook is HAPPENING and we are silly with gratitude. Behold, our tired smiling faces at midnight last night.

Longer update for all interested parties on Kickstarter here! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sie...
Three happy faces smile in a close-up, selfie-style photo, snuggled up on a couch together. The quality is grainy and the lighting dim - clearly this photo was taken at night. Nevertheless, the light of gleeful triumph gleams in the eyes of the person at the bottom of the photo.

A poster showcasing the Kickstarter for Sienna Tristen's audiobook of The Heretic's Guide to Homecoming. The middle of the image is a photo of Sienna, a petite human with short blonde hair wearing chunky black-and-pink headphones and a patterned magenta scarf, a black long-sleeve shirt, and a pleated blue skirt. They are seated with a copy of The Heretic's Guide to Homecoming on their lap. The book is open and their face bears the pensive expression of someone reading. Behind them is a detailed wallpaper, coloured in teal and dusky rose, bearing motifs of snakes, bees, moons and flowers. On the top and bottom of the image, and on top of a blue circle in the middle-left space, text appears in white font. TEXT: Sienna Tristen - The Heretic's Guide to Homecoming Orchestrated Audiobook. 20+ hours of narration. 2+ hours of original music. Ambience and sound effects. One hundred percent human-made! Back the project on Kickstarter before November 28.

This is so funny because BOTH of my first lines are SUCH BUMMERS in isolation lmao.

Convincing(???) you to read my novel with the first sentence. Share yours if you want!

(From the Prologue & Ch1 of "The Heretic's Guide to Homecoming".)
A stylized chapter heading of a lily. TEXT: Speak of this to no one. TEXT: ONE You don't deserve your own name.

...and if you attended our underground-concert-style secret hotel party and listened to me & Brendan do a LIVE PIANO VERSION of the reading, you know we also take requests. 😂 @lynnesargent.bsky.social @manahil.bsky.social @anoteinpink.bsky.social @faye-gabriel.bsky.social
A photo shot from the far corner of a hotel room, featuring approximately 18 smiling faces seated on the bed, on couches and chairs, and on the floor. In one corner of this party, an electronic piano is set up; behind it, a musician; beside him, his co-conspirator, author Sienna Tristen.

So I was caught off-guard by the SHEAF of snow that came down today—so the afternoon plans became harvesting the rosemary plant!

Brought her inside for overwintering, fingers crossed she likes it in here 🤞🌿
Freshly-trimmed sprigs of rosemary lie scattered on a red and orange dish towel. A pair of leather gloves and blue scissors are also visible near the top of the photo. Bundles of rosemary hang to dry from the curved edges of a dark wooden hanging shelf. A teapot and yellow teacup in the shape of a flower are visible on the shelf.
