One Week Left
The second week of The Book Bazaar has swiftly passed, and The Hollowed and The Hallowed is close to reaching its funding goal!
A huge thank you to everyone who has pledged, supported, or shared this campaign so far. Please know my gratitude is IMMENSE. Almost as immense as the Blood Moon will be when it rises over the island of DiΓΉra, but at least I'm not bringing you any undead deer monsters or damning prophecies... Not yet, at least.
We've still got time to fund this project, after which we'll be looking at the stretch goals!
I haven't got any art updates just yet, but I promise they're going to be wonderful. The artists I'm commissioning are truly fantastic.
If you haven't already, be sure to check out the other campaigns that are crowdfunding with The Book Bazaar!
The Hollowed and The Hallowed is close to funding!
Hello old friends and curious visitors.
I wanted to check in with an update to let you all know that we're 81% funded! That means that The Hollowed and The Hallowed is so close to reaching its funding goal!
With TEN DAYS left of this autumn's The Book Bazaar, let's see if we can get this campaign funded and this story on its way to publication.
For those who have already supported me and this story, thank you so much. I wish I could express just how much it means to me that you're taking a chance on me, Finlay, and Caelan. I hope you'll enjoy what's to come.
Thank you all so much for a wonderful opening to The Book Bazaar. So many of the projects participating have FULLY FUNDED in such a short time, others are close to the finish line, and others - like The Hollowed and The Hallowed - are a little behind but staying hopeful!
The Hollowed and The Hallowed is currently 42% funded, which is so incredible! As a small indie author who is crowdfunding for the first time (thanks to all the support from the very cool people running and participating in The Book Bazaar this Autumn), the support means the world to me.
I'm currently preparing the novella Her Wrath and Mine for beta readers, after which I can get stuck in to the final edits for The Hollowed and The Hallowed. I can't wait to share more updates with you in the near future, and if you know anyone who would LOVE this story about queer autistic boys just trying to survive a world that's out to get them, be sure to send them my campaign!
If you'd like to hear more from me, be sure to follow me over on instagram, where I am most active!
Just a little announcement... I've been working on a novella set before the events of The Hollowed and The Hallowed!

Her Wrath and Mine is a dark fantasy novella following Cadha, a queer autistic woman who dreams of escaping her violent family and their vile trade.
The synopsis
I wasnβt sure whether anything would come from this ember of an idea, but itβs grown into something I really like so Iβm looking forward to continuing it. I'm currently working my way through the second draft, after which I can start thinking about next steps.
Her Wrath and Mine has no other connection to The Hollowed and The Hallowed, and so can be read before, after, or entirely separately. It will be included as an add-on in the campaign, as well as in one of the pledge tiers.
First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who has followed so far. I appreciate every one of you, and look forward to showing you all the cool things in store when the campaign for The Hollowed and The Hallowed officially launches.
I'm writing to let you all know that I recently completed my first round of edits, and I'm more excited than ever to get this story ready for publication and out into the world. This is a story very dear to my heart, and with so much of myself woven into it. I hope it finds its people.
ALSO, I'm working on a few things for The Hollowed and The Hallowed as we speak, and I can't wait for them to come to fruition so I can tell you all about them!
