It's been some time since I've posted here--a result of my time and energy going into something a little different. The past few weeks have been one giant learning experience, but I can now publicly introduce The Aurelian Saga's homepage!

I'm happy to (finally) announce the release of Child of Sorrow in hardcover book format! Had to cross more than a few hurdles getting here--largely in the form of Amazon--but the final changes are done! And I do think it looks pretty snazzy. 😏

With a busy few week behind me, and the upcoming release of the hardcover edition of Child of Sorrow, I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has supported The Aurelian Saga thus far!

The second image as part of my small concept art 'series'—if I can call it such a thing. This picture represents the next stage of development for The Aurelian Saga's coverpage!

In my last post, I wrote about how the scope and scale of The Aurelian Saga, how the setting will shift and grow overtime. But what does that really mean?
What better way could I answer that question than with a flowchart!

Child of Sorrow—what is it about, and how does it fit into the larger narrative?
This first book in The Aurelian Saga serves as an introduction to the world, and it is a foundation from which the rest of the narrative will build on.

The series cover for the The Aurelian Saga, you might consider a glimpse of things to come. 🤔

The cover for Child of Sorrow, the first entry into The Aurelian Saga, a totally-not-at-all-overambitious science fiction horror universe, ten years in the making! 😜

Realizing the value of hashtags, I'm going to repost several previous images—you saw nothing! 👀

This is the first draft of what I call the 'Series Cover'—the outline of an image that would slowly come to life over the following weeks.

There's a lot I'd like to say about The Aurelian Saga, but instead of me rambling on endlessly, I'd like to separate my posts with various other sorts of content, and following in that line of thought, starting today I create a small 'series' of concept art images.

A question I've been posed with; How did I come up with this series? What is it rooted in?

The biggest influence is a not-so-little shooter series called 'Dead Space'. More specifically, The Aurelian Saga came about as a result of asking myself a question.

"Could this have been different?"

To cap off the launch of The Aurelian Saga's website, I'll now start posting daily as I begin to unload just 'what' this series is, how I created it, and what it's even about! (Along with some behind-the-scenes-concept-art stuff)

As the first post on this account, I should probably announce the first of the books in The Aurelian Saga series, Child of Sorrow!

The ebook was released as of yesterday, and the paperback will be out next week, with the hardcover to follow soon after. 😱
