We received one of our most successful and warmest receptions to “Fragments” thus far at Printers Row Lit Fest. Thank you so very much to everyone who came and chatted with us and for supporting the literary arts. It was an amazing event filled with countless books, engaging talks and music, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful weekend to mark 40 years of this amazing festival. We hope to be back next year with “Reflections!” 🫀⚔️🛡️

One year of “Fragments” 🕯️

Today, we celebrate one year of our first volume’s life out in the world. It’s been to many places, seen several faces, heard countless voices, and touched many hearts and minds. And, it has given us the wildest, busiest, and most fulfilling year we’ve had in quite some time.

To signify our commitment to, and further success of, our creation, we bless this tome with a special candle we procured from a new soul we encountered today. Thank you for this beautiful candle, and for your support of our journey.

Profound thanks to all of you who have read our words. We’ll have many more to share with you, as “Fragments” has a beautiful sibling on the way.

ICYMI: Our Kickstarter campaign for “Reflections” is now live. We are nearing the 25% mark, with about a month and a half to go to meet our goal. Our profound thanks go out to those of you who have pledged thus far.

There's still a ways to go and we could use your help with spreading some word. Talk to a friend, show them the project, and tell them about our journey. If we can make a real effort to ramp up the momentum of this campaign, we can attain our goal well ahead of time.
