Hello I'm Broadus Nesbitt III,

I'm an actor, director, and a newly found writer from Baltimore, MD. I'm bringing to life a Pirate fantasy through the art of story telling.

The Pirate Tales of Aeryndor: The Devil's Sea is the first book in a series that follows a young pirate named Skully and his adventures in the fantasy realm of Aeryndor.

This story follows Skully, a young pirate marked by destiny, as he navigates gods, demons, ancient seas, legendary captains, and a world on the brink of awakening old powers. For months I’ve been building this universe. The lore, the continents, the gods, the artifacts, the captains, the myths. Now it’s time to bring it to readers.

But self-publishing a high quality book is expensive... and that's where I'm asking for help.

WHY I'M FUNDRAISING:

Proofreading and editing

Cover art and formatting

Marketing and Promotions

Launch Event Costs

Merchandise and Illustrations

WHY THIS MATTERS

Indie authors often rely on community support to compete with big publishing houses.

Aeryndor is massive, full of continents, magic, and of course... Pirates! With your support it can reach audiences all around the world.

Thank you for helping, Mateys!
