My name is Reiu Luna, also known as Rene Vale, founder of Mystic Realms Publishing — an independent creative space dedicated to telling emotionally rich fantasy and romance stories centered on Black, queer, alternative, and anime-inspired perspectives.

Right now, I’m raising $12,000 to produce a full-cast, serialized audio drama of my upcoming story:

✨ Her Mate the Kitten

This is a dual-POV fantasy romance about Destiny and Freya — two women living in a magical world, bound by deep feelings they struggle to express.

Destiny is unexpectedly transported into another world that feels like stepping into an anime dream. Magic surrounds her, but the most powerful force in her life is the quiet love she holds for Freya.

Freya, strong yet emotionally guarded, carries her own fears about vulnerability and loss. As their bond deepens, both must confront whether they will continue to hide their feelings — or finally choose courage.

This story is about longing.

Softness.

Emotional tension.

And the power of love that refuses to stay silent.

Why I’m Raising Funds

I don’t want this to be just another audiobook.

I want it to be a full-cast audio drama — with real voice actors, real chemistry, and real emotional nuance.

The funds raised will go toward:

• Hiring professional voice actors

• Studio recording time

• Audio engineering and editing

• Sound design and mastering

• Character illustration artwork

• Distribution and release preparation

I have already done the groundwork — scripting, development, and planning.

With funding secured, production can begin immediately.

Why This Matters

Stories centered on Black, queer, alternative, and blerd identities are still underrepresented in immersive audio formats.

I created Mystic Realms Publishing because I believe we deserve:

• Fantasy where we are soft and loved

• Romance where we are emotionally complex

• Magic where we are centered

• Audio storytelling that feels cinematic and intimate

This project isn’t just about one book.

It’s about building a sustainable creative ecosystem where independent stories can grow into audio dramas, illustrated editions, and multi-format experiences.

But I’m taking this step-by-step — and Her Mate the Kitten is the foundation.

How You Can Help

If you’ve ever wanted:

More queer fantasy romance

More Black alt representation

More emotionally driven storytelling

More independent creators thriving without gatekeeping

Your support directly helps make that possible.

Every contribution — large or small — moves this project closer to production.

Even sharing this campaign makes a difference.

What Happens Next?

Once the $12,000 goal is reached:

Production begins immediately.

Casting starts.

Recording is scheduled.

Illustrations are finalized.

Supporters will receive updates throughout the entire process as the story evolves from script to immersive audio experience.

This is the beginning of something much bigger — but it starts here.
