On 2/5/25, my 42nd birthday, the Bones of Starlight omnibus was published! That was seven days ago, and it is available online or by request through a bookstore for the venerated tome price of $72 (which is a free 1.5 books off the price of individual hardcover volumes).
ISBN: 9781944416195
This story is especially amazing in its full form, much like myself. It features another painting by Seattle calligraffiti artist Leo Shallat, “Breaking Through.”
Reaching into the far interdimensions of an alternate universe, this trilogy became everything, and I’m proud to present it to you. The final notes of a celestial symphony, reverberating along another fractal as they spiral away, sparkle with light.
Here’s to the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.
Dear readers, a beautiful appendix has been fully crafted for us all to enjoy.
Coming in at a svelte yet well-built 70 pages, this contains all people, places, and terms present in the story dimension not exactly as in ours. It’s a little bit as though notes on these matters were gathered first-to-thirdhand from diverse perspectives and sources from within the chronology, possibly by Kao-Sidhe, and bundled into one organized trunk in the Vedani aetherscape, with an obvious multiplicity of contributors.
I am, in our world, the one who wrote it, yes. I took on this task because I myself have adored a fine appendix, and Bones of Starlight was built with a mountain of juicy tidbits.
This will be available to purchase on 7/14/24, July 14 Bastille Day, as it was with 3: Greater Beyond. Contact me personally via social media or through the site email form for a direct or autographed copy or set, or find it through your bookseller with the ISBN above via Ingram Distributors.
I once bought a chapbook Index for a work of fiction I hadn’t read, because it was intentionally artistically produced, and reading an out-of-context index to someone’s favorite work felt delightfully and poignantly non-sequitur. So if you ask, Does it stand on its own? my thought is, if you think it could. For Lovers of Worldbuilding.
I hope this will be a joyous addition to complete anyone’s individual volume trilogy set. It costs almost as much as a novel, but not quite. It’s a jacketed hardcover and will sit nicely next to the original full set of volumes. The cover art is also by the zesty trilogy cover art painter @leo.shallat (IG & TikTok).
