My new novel, The Tear Mage, is slated to release by the end of the year. I am kicking off a fundraiser to help achieve that goal.

The Tear Mage Fundraiser

As I work on my new book, The Tear Mage, I decided to launch a fundraiser to help bring it to fruition. With the first draft complete (I finished it back in December), I have been prepping it for submission to an editor hopefully sometime in April. I have been tirelessly working on ironing out the worldbuilding in order to fine-tune the draft.

I still have a long road ahead, and many costs. Among them are the editing costs, as well as book cover (the image above is a temporary placeholder), supplemental art, and audiobook production. Of course, marketing will be a big expense as well. Check out the GoFundMe page below:

The World of Volnara

The Tear Mage is set in the World of Volnara. It is a general fantasy world filled with elves, dwarves, goblins, and the like… though I attempt to put my own little spin on the common creatures and beings and the world itself. The World Anvil Page is live, though it is rather bare-boned right now. I intend to update it over the summer, filling in many details. If anybody would like to volunteer with this endeaveor, please feel free to reach out to me at serious77@sjserio.com (with the subject line: WA-Volnara). I could use some help, including suggestions and input, as well as ideas and visual designs.
