The boner has been punched to completion. You can still help give it a big stretch, however.

My lovely friends at NESS are less that $2k away from funding this incredible set of four books! Check them out and throw a few dollars their way: it all supports a publisher who's actively making space in the genre for marginalized authors, and making sure they get paid well for their work!

Sometimes ya draw sword & sorcery art and sometimes ya paint pretty birds. Yer inexplicable! Go ahead, try to explic, ya cain't do it.

Imagine an AU where young (not)Genghis gets his shit kicked in by a rival, loses his throne, and becomes a hunted outlaw across all of (not)Asia, that's Orhan Timur. 1) you can read em in any order 2) Dariel is SO GOOD at writing action, small scale or large 3) he makes wizards so gross, goddamn

Hell yeah I love Orhan and murderous menageries just about equally

Dariel is without exaggeration one of the best authors currently writing S&S. His style is a combination of Robert E. Howard and David Gemmell, blended into stories set in a fantastical but historically inspired not-Asia. Don't sleep on this!

Read one of his stories in the first issue of the magazine and enjoyed it. All the stories were great.

🧙‍♂️AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT✍️ Dariel R.A. Quiogue brings you character-driven, fast-paced tales. In THE HUNT OF A THOUSAND LEAGUES his Genghis Khan-inspired Orhan the Snow Leopard flees & fights a menagerie of murderers! Learn more and get your copy here 👉 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

I backed these novellas for 2 reasons Unselfish reason: These are great writers supported by great art and a great publisher, I can't wait to read their new stories, and I want them to thrive! Selfish reason: I want Brackenbury Books to be around to one day publish me! Back this book bonanza now!

A great article on what was essentially the birth of second wave Sword & Sorcery: gwthomas.org/10-sword-sor...

Novellas! Four novellas!! Four sword & sorcery novellas!!! Explore a range of what sword & sorcery is up to these days. As suggested by the art, each of these is doing its own thing, while they share a passion for the sword & sorcery revival. We're above $13,000 and 200 backers. Eleven days left.
