The Archive Is Open: My First Kickstarter final hours!

đź–¤ Final hours.

The archive is closing.

Thank you to every reader who backed, shared, and supported this project.

If you’ve been meaning to grab your copy, now is the moment.

When the clock reaches zero, the campaign ends.

Guys… I can hardly believe I’m writing this.

The Kickstarter campaign for UNBOUND: The Forbidden Archive Edition is officially live. đź–¤

This is my first Kickstarter, and if I’m being honest, I’m feeling a mix of excitement, gratitude, and nerves. Creating books is something I’ve done for years, but launching a project like this feels a little different. It’s equal parts thrilling and terrifying.

For those who haven’t heard about it yet, Unbound is a moody, tragic dark fantasy romance about an oracle named Clea and the Hellion bound to protect her. It’s a story filled with blood bonds, prophecy, sacrifice, and the question of whether fate can ever truly be changed.

When I started dreaming about a special edition, I wanted to create something that felt like an artifact from the story itself.

The Forbidden Archive Edition features:

đź–¤ A deluxe hardcover design
✨ Foiled cover details
đź“– Custom edge artwork
🎨 Full color interior with scene art
🕯️ Printed poetry from the book
🔢 Signed

In addition to the collector edition, there are other reward tiers available, including ebooks, signed paperbacks, signed hardcovers, artwork, and collectible extras.

One thing I want to make clear for those who have already preordered directly through my shop: you will still receive everything shown in the Kickstarter campaign for your edition. This project does not replace your preorder.

Whether you decide to back the project, share it with a friend, or simply cheer from the sidelines, thank you. Every book you’ve read, every review you’ve left, every order you’ve placed, and every comment you’ve shared has helped make opportunities like this possible.

It’s a little surreal to see this project finally out in the world.

The archive is open.

Let’s see what happens next. đź–¤
