Making novels and dreams come true!

Donation protected



HI! my name is Tion Odese, as probably not very many of you know, I'm an aspiring author of fantasy fiction for adults (no that doesn't mean it's erotic) which is set in a pangea like world of my own design.The world is diverse in culture and environment and has a timeline spanning from prehistoric to far future so that I can write a wide variety of stories which all tie in to the same fictional history.
Lately my parent,  Coille Rain and I have been working on a graphic novel adaptation of the first story,  Trayvalle tales, which is both a vital piece of this worlds history and an introduction to the world itself. These graphic novels are entirely hand drawn by Coille Rain in ink and colored pencils which is scanned into the computer and then Rain works on the layout in Corel.
Volume one, Beyond The Valle and volume two, Siltana Sorcery (part one) are finished but we are now working on volume three, Siltana Sorcery (part two). We are especially excited about the third volume as it will be longer than the previous two and show more of the worlds I have created. We have new expenses ahead of us now because we need new ISBN numbers which are very costly. We also need more paper, pencils, ink pens and watercolors (because volume three will be partly done in watercolors)! We also need to get these books out there to more places than just online venues. We are thinking comic book conventions and other book fairs would be a great opportunity but renting tables for these events is expensive. On top of our goals for the future novels, we are trying to relocate to Portland, Maine where we can live together and continue self publishing our books. My parent and I will be happier in the colder climate and close to some friends there. For this we need funds for a moving truck, gas, food and lodgings as well as starter money to find a new home. Please help us achieve our dreams.

If you can not afford to donate or simply don't wish to then please share this campaign. I don't know a lot of people and I'm trying to network. In fact especially if you DO donate, then share this campaign.

We do it for the readers, we do it for ourselves, but mostly we do it because not knowing how the story ends would drive us mad. Like all art, writing is a "create or be destroyed" kind of activity.

A donation of  $5-$10 will get you an autographed coloring book by the artist Coille Rain.  A donation of $15 will get you one autographed copy of Trayvalle Tales volume one or two.  A donation of $20 will get you a print of your choice by the artist who has prints listed on her website https://www.cushyrain.com/prints
You can also get a print of a page from either book! Just let us know which one you like best! A donation of $30 gets you the set of volume one and two of Trayvalle Tales autographed.  A donation of $40-$50 will get you a small original watercolor painting by the artist. A donation of  $60 or over will get you a larger original painting by the artist.
