Thank you to everyone who made it to the Childseeker’s War Publication Party!

We had two hours of PIZZA drops, trivia, and prize spins galore. The full winners list is below—please comment to claim if you weren’t at the event or haven't connected with me yet. ⚠️
 

I also spoke about my upcoming serialization project—Hunting Midnight. It is a cheeky, creepy, and fun urban fantasy story and will follow the same basic format as The Childseeker’s War.

Hunting Midnight is a much longer story, divided into many ‘episodes’ that are novella-length in most cases. Here’s the synopsis:
 

👻
Alena moved to a small town to start a restaurant, not to tangle with a demon. But when the monster messes with her wifi, ruins her roommate's date, and threatens to commit mass murder, she's forced to put her plans on hold.

Impossible phenomena and a chaotic stalker lead her to a grandfather clock with backward numbers. The ghost inside believes she's there to help it escape, and offers to show her the world through its eyes. With one fateful glimpse, Alena ignites a journey that becomes much more than a trade of sanity for safety, and enters a long entrenched battle for the sovereignty of the soul.

The Ghost in the Clock is the inaugural episode of Hunting Midnight, a paranormal adventure series that shatters genre expectations by delivering as much charm as it does creepshow, as many smiles as it does spooks, and an unforgettably unique cast of villains and heroes.

Contains strong language, sexual themes and scenes of violence

🔥 I’ll be doing a special giveaway for all users that get on that readlist before I even start the story (a reward for your faith in its entertainment value? Ha!)

NFT winners!

I also raffled off some copies of the Childseeker’s War NFT Book 😄

These are ERC-721 NFTs on Polygon, so to get one, I will need a public wallet address to send ‘em too. They’re the ugly lookin’ ones that typically start with 0x. Feel free to include them in a comment claim or via private message.

Winners of the Collector’s Editions will get to choose the 1 of 1 cover of choice. Choice order is based on the most staked SCHOLAR tokens!

And if your name is listed twice, you get multiple copies 😯

Prize distribution

Whew, that’s a lot of prizes. It’ll take me some time to get them all out, so please be patient! I also usually leave links to the transaction receipts, but in this case I may skip that part to save my sanity, haha.

Thanks for reading and participating. All images were created by me.
