Like many of my projects, I didn’t quite know where The White Stone was going when I wrote the original short story. I have expanded the story world and will be releasing a new book this fall of the same title. The book will tell the story of how Soledge came to be in the situation where we found it in the original short story, published here on the blog, exploring each of the bairns backstories in their own individual chapters. Artist Issa Brown is creating 14 character portraits to be included in the book. She brings a wealth of talent and creativity to this project, and I’m so pleased to be working with her again.

You can sign up for a notification from Kickstarter when our project goes live on October 1. Just follow this link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1825805433/the-white-stone

Our goal is to cover our publishing costs. If we receive enough money in pledges, we will print the character portraits in color and we will also do an audiobook. If this project excites, you share it with others who would enjoy reading. Thank you in advance for supporting our work.
