Final Cover Reveal: ‘Before the Ghost Sea’

Well folks, here we are. The last newsletter before the campaign launch for The Tides That Reign! What a lead-up it has been.

Thank you to everyone who followed the pre-launch page already – it’s not too late to sign up if you haven’t. A follow keeps you up to date on the project details and sends a reminder when the campaign goes live on March 2nd! You can find the pre-launch page here.

This Kickstarter has already blown away expectations from my previous campaign for Of Chaos and Eternal Night. For comparison, that project launched with 22 followers, whereas The Tides That Reign has several times that many with nearly two weeks to go.

As a reminder, the whole reason I’m doing this is to give The Tides That Reign the release I believe it always deserved after being mishandled by Midnight Meadows Publishing. Commissioning new covers for the first two books and preparing the special edition materials has truly reinvigorated my passion for this story, the world, and the characters therein.

Without further ado, I’d like to introduce you to the full cover for the hardback edition of The Tides That Reign Book Three: Before the Ghost Sea.

I hope to see you all there.
