Episode #148 Kickstarter Success, Proof Copies & Reading Dark Blade Forged Chapters 28–29 | The Truth About Storytelling

About this episode

Tyrean Martinson provides an update on the Kickstarter for the Dark Blade Trilogy and reads from the novel.

I share a behind-the-scenes update on the Dark Blade Trilogy Kickstarter , which has reached its initial funding goal and is moving into stretch goals like character cards and a bonus story. I discuss preparing a new edition of Dark Blade Forged , ordering proof copies through BookVault, thoughtful use of AI tools, and read Chapters 28 and 29 from the novel.
