The Audiobook is still finishing up production but will follow close behind in the next week or two. I will announce when that arrives.
To celebrate the release, me and several of my amazing author friends are gathering at Prodigy Coffee where we will be sharing some of our work. I’m so very fortunate to have such talented author friends. Check out their bios and links in the slides below!
If you’re in the Denver area tomorrow, you should join us from 1pm-3pm at Prodigy Coffee!
You can also check out the first and second chapters of Shades & Shapes in the Dark over on YouTube if you’re curious but aren’t sure if it’s for you.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Indiegogo Campaign for my new dark fantasy horror novel, Shades &Shapes in the Dark! I am forever grateful and I will have your perks out to you as soon as humanly possible.
With the conclusion of the campaign, I’m happy to announce, that the book will hit the stores on May 17th 2025 in both paperback and ebook! You can join us over at Prodigy Coffee on the 17th at 1pm for the official release party where I will be reading and signing copies of Shades & Shapes in the Dark! I’ve also created an event over on Facebook if you are on that platform.
The audiobook is currently being recorded and though I have no doubt it will be completed by the 17th, the processing time for audiobook distribution seems to take an extra chunk of time.
A few other incredible writers will be sharing their amazing work in addition to a short reading of Shades & Shapes in the Dark. Including:
