The Dark Is A Cold Lonely Shadow Book 1 - Within That Dark A Single Flame.
FOURTH REWRITE. BOSSES ORDERS. DELAYED TO 2027
In the mean time! We are working on the overall project. A test print of [SECRET] is expected Q4 2026 (more likely Q1 2027)
The Books Being Focused On are "SECRET [2026]", "Within That Dark A Single Flame", "Woe Is Me", "Anomaly", and "K/FrostWalker" (18+)
"Within That Dark A Single Flame" - Delayed 12+ Months (yes, for the third time).
Based on feedback, we have been completely rewriting The Dark Is A Cold Lonely Shadow. Not just Book 1, but the entire series! Book 1 - Within That Dark A Single Flame is being rewritten for the fourth time. There are over ten different first chapters. We're still not happy! The book is being split into two, also for the fourth time! Those who've read the original book 1? You have read an early version of book 1, book 3 and parts of book 4. But only a few have read the first few chapters of Book 2. "Woe Is Me". We have been working hard making it perfect! It's nowhere near ready. We need more feedback!

The [SECRET] Vault - [SECRET]
*This is the proposed format. Some bonus content will be provided when available/complete. Due to Book 1 exceeding word and page count, some bonus content will now be eBook/Kindle, not in the physical book. Every special limited edition book will be uniquely tagged. This will be required along with verification to access: NFT's, bonuses, early access, servers, unique content, etc... eg: "The Arena and The [SECRET] Vault"
** A number of copies will be given away for free to schools, libraries, supporters, proof readers, competition winners, potential publishers, etc. It is unlikely we will make any profit on the initial limited run. If we do, 5% will go to verified children and orphan charities. A small number of copies will be held in storage. These will have additional bonus content and a unique NFT. These will be auctioned off at later dates, with 50% of the resulting sale going to charity (and the rest going to funding this project and future books). Main future books will have a percentage of profits going to children's charities.
^^ Most techniques we use in our videos: databases, effects, sequencing, textures, glowing (the thing everyone wants), music, sound FX, mirrors. Everything which people want and nobody else can work out how we did. We will release it when we are ready. And yes, it includes the glowing, textures, beam tracking, and mirror techniques...
[SECRET] - They are SECRET mainly because they contain spoilers.
