Across the Sun - Kickstarter

 



Across the Sun invokes a metaphysical journey. Four adopted young adults flee an invasion and are magically displaced into a parallel world where they unknowingly disrupt a violent slave trade. 

One day, the siblings’ lives are upended  when hobgoblins attack them. To protect their children, dwarves Saba and Gorram use arcana, and they all flee to a parallel world. Arriving in this new world alone, the siblings journey to find shelter and their missing parents. Lost in a dangerous wilderness, they rescue an enslaved tikus woman, unknowingly becoming targets of a cruel slave trader's revenge.

Across the Sun is filled with adventure and exploration, and it displays underrepresented people in fantastic ways, celebrating their diversity. It’s a story with a lot of heart and a happy ending; about siblings sticking together no matter what. It is intended to become part of a saga.

Forgotten

 





In Moktlain, A black-stoned sword is bestowed only on those marked for death.
After waking up stabbed and with no memory of who he is, Claeg's only clue to his identity is the sword – set with a black stone – that's found with him when he's pulled from a drifting, bloody boat. Even Claeg is just a name the healer gives him. All he does know is that if he wants to live, the blade has to stay secret.

That was months ago, and Claeg's isn’t any closer to finding himself. Then, Lord Gallus Kurok, head of one of the wealthiest families in Dracul, comes to Claeg with a deal: pose as his kin and fight for his family's honor, and he'll help Claeg find what's lost.

Claeg jumps at the opportunity, ignoring the war brewing in Moktlain. It isn’t long until Claeg is thrown onto the front, sentenced to service for a crime he didn’t commit, but Claeg isn’t the only innocent in his chain-gang. Ida, sword just as sharp and even faster than Claeg's, walks beside him, and soon the two start walking closer than just comrades.

When given the chance to learn about the man who earned the black-stoned sword, Claeg must decide what, and who, he's willing to sacrifice to gain the information. The answers hide deadly secrets of their own, and lurk closer than Claeg thinks, waiting to be unsheathed.

Invention Stories

 


Invention Stories: Tales from the Inventor

Invention Stories...Tales from the Inventor is a collection of 35+ Invention Stories shared by their Inventors...in Their Own Words.


I tried to turn my idea into a product. The results from a preliminary background check I had performed on my invention idea, showed there were four other patented inventions similar to mine, two of them I liked better.  Why were none of them on the market?


I begin researching the invention industry and learned that 95-98 percent of inventors fail to recoup their initial investment.  I thought, if this failure rate is even close to being accurate, the patent process must be broken.


How Do We Invent Smarter?


Who better to learn from than by those who have already invented?  What would the inventors say is the most productive use of their time, money, and What should inventors avoid? 


What advice would they give to a novice inventor?

In Someone Else’s Pocket



Escape to the summer of 1972, grab yourself a cocktail and enjoy a front row view of adults behaving badly.


One evening, in a wealthy American suburb, four couples are having drinks at their exclusive country club. After several rounds, one member of the group suggests that they should have a key party. The logistics are: Each woman places her keys in a bowl, and each man will pick a set of keys. The holder and owner of the keys are then matched up to conclude the real purpose of the evening. Not wanting to be viewed as out of step with the times, they all agree that they are adults, and it’s just one night. It won’t mean anything, right?


This simple idea quickly snowballs into a complicated chain of events full of manipulation, twists and turns. The “meaningless” key party reveals deep, hidden secrets. Nothing is as it seems. Everything is at stake.

 

So kick back on the beach this summer and dive into this page-turning tale of how your friends and neighbors use their money, power and influence to spin a tangled web of love, lust, lies and deceit.

Out of Business - Moran

 


"Out of Business": Moran

"Out of Business: Moran" by David Citron takes readers on a personal journey through entertainment and finance. Citron's Semi-Auto Biography reads like a business plan as

A Rally or a Revolution

 



A Rally or a Revolution?
How GameStop Changed the Future of Wealth



The GameStop saga nearly bought Wall Street to its knees. Established hedge funds, like Plotkin's Melvin Capital, were left scrambling for handouts to keep their ventures afloat, but how did a band of unqualified investors weaponize an internet message board like Reddit to bring them down?

Join me as we analyze the impact that the anti-establishment sentiment in WallStreetBets had on GameStop's ultimate performance on the stock market at the beginning of 2021. We'll dive into decades of market research, discuss market psychology, and analyze stock market indicators to cast light on a phenomenon that took the world by storm.

From superheroes turned supervillains, like Robinhood, to financial advisors turned folk heroes, like Keith Gill, we'll profile all of the parties that were involved in the GameStop rally and discuss the fallout they endured because of it.

The GameStop saga appears to be far from over, but the question remains whether it will ever reach the elusive $1,000 threshold that has been discussed in WallStreetBets or whether amateur investors are better off closing their positions and spending their time trying to find "the next GameStop."

Most importantly, we'll answer the most pressing question of all: Will the guillotines really be rolled out, or was the revolutionary rhetoric that reigned supreme in WallStreetBets nothing but a flash in the pan?
