Stick Together. Question your eyes. Guard your mind.
The Brightest have crossed the Octoro Bridge and are now heading toward the city of Lunace. While the previous leader has been deposed, the world still spins. The Bright Spot still moves. Questions remain unanswered.
The Leader must face the reality of his choices as well as choices to come. The Hunter is missing their child, and no one shows any intention of rescuing them. The Tinkerer fights a battle with a three horned demon. The Mother must keep a dangerous secret that could harm someone dear. The Queen struggles to keep their empire from collapsing. The Protector doubts their abilities to keep people safe. And the Researcher aches for purpose in a world where their skills are worthless.
The Brightest must find their own personal truths before being tangled in the harrowing branches of the Luminous Forest where reality cannot be trusted.

The Bright Spot: Blight Eater Week 1 Success
Hello all!
We are finally in the beginning stages of the Blight Eater, the Bright Spot book 2 campaign.
Here's some information about the campaign and what to expect.
We are finally in the beginning stages of the Blight Eater, the Bright Spot book 2 campaign.
Here's some information about the campaign and what to expect.
- The campaign launches October 29 and will run for about a month
- You must make a pledge during this time, in order to receive any rewards.
- Backers will receive their books 3 months before the official launch of the novel. So if you decide not to back, you will need to wait for the official release to make a purchase
- Blight Eater does not have a release date, but I'm aiming for sometime during 2027. I am further along in this book than I was with The Bright Spot when I launched its campaign.
- Every book purchased through Backerkit will be signed. Unsigned copies will only be sent via special request. This makes the backend side of the pledge manager less of a headache.
- You will be able to purchase both books, the Bright Spot, and Blight Eater during the campaign
- The Bright Spot Paperback and Blight Eater Paperback will both be $20 USD (slightly increased from retail value, but not as expensive as last campaign's pricing.)
- The Bright Spot Hardcover will be $35 USD, with its own unique design
- As part of the Book Bazaar 2026, there will be an incentive to pledge for more than one project. If you back 5 projects, you will receive a Book Bazaar anthology with mini-stories, poems, and more from artists like myself and the other participants. You really don't want to miss out on this.
Just because you are receiving this email, does not mean you are signed up for the pre-launch for the Blight Eater Campaign. We are at 38 people within the first week (which is amazing if you ask me)
Last campaign we had 49ish by the time we launched. I think we can crush that goal and ultimately hit 100!! So if you are seeing this and are unsure if you are signed up click this link
Oh and incase you missed it, The Bright Spot got an audiobook! Narrated by the talented Bobby Garrison!
Right now there is a promotion where you can get 3 months of audible for FREE as well as $20 credit by clicking the link below!!
