Last Few Hours - New Stretch Goal Unlocked
almost 3 years ago – Mon, Jun 12, 2023 at 06:28:01 PM

Hi, Destiny Aurora fans,

Thanks to all of you, we have not only completely funded, but we have unlocked two Stretch Goals.

We already Unlocked a digital copy of the Werewolf Comic Book - Night Wolf. Plenty of action and who doesn't love werewolf stories? This will go to everyone who pledged, absolutely Free.

Over the last couple of hours, we unlocked a new Stretch Goal, a Collector's Rovanna Magnet. Sgt. Rovanna is the weapons officer aboard the Destiny Aurora, She is half Kraysorian, which is a reptilian-type alien. She was born with a birth defect that didn't allow her two sets of genes to meld. Instead, each was represented in the two halves of her body. 

After running away from home, she was captured by the Dreggs, where she became a slave for the remainder of her childhood. Until she was found by Jayce, who liberated her during a nasty gunfight that led to a narrow escape. He enrolled her in the Coalition Academy where she excelled in marksmanship and use of heavy and small-arm weaponry. Per his request, she was assigned to the Aurora and has been by Jayce's side ever since.

If we can surpass only $1k more we can unlock the next Strech Goal.

Thank you all again for making this a reality and supporting my work.

FIRST STRETCH GOAL UNLOCKED!
almost 3 years ago – Wed, May 31, 2023 at 11:05:23 AM

Hi, Destiny Aurora Fans,

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Weekend.  Great news, we've unlocked our first stretch goal. A free Nightwolf Digital comic, which will be sent to everyone right after the campaign completes. It's a great story by a talented creators. So, watch for that coming to your inbox in the next few weeks.

Now it's time to unlock the next Stretch Goal, an exclusive collector's Rovanna Magnet. 

She's the weapons officer and always ready to jump into the fray.  A fan-favorite character.  Born of human and Kraysorian parents, Rovanna has a birth defect that split her human and alien halves directly down the middle.  Unfortunately, her mother died in child birth. Her above human strength and agility make her into a fighting-machine like no other. 

After an argument with her father, she ran away only to be captured by the Dreggs and sold into captivity and slavery. Rovanna was later rescued from the Dreggs by Jayce, she has been loyal to him ever since -- and has a crush on him despite their age difference. He sent her to the Coalition academy where she exceled, but is constantly haunted by her past and the fact that that she doesn't belong either world of her heritages.

Please keep sharing and posting the campaign link, so we can keep unlocking Stretch Goals. My aim is to unlock the $7500 level so we can record the audiobook for the second novel in the Destiny Aurora Series.--Visarath War Pt. 1.

We Did It! Goal Achieved!
almost 3 years ago – Sat, May 20, 2023 at 08:49:33 AM

Hello, Destiny Aurora Fans. Happy Saturday. 

Thanks to all of your amazing support, we have busted through the goal and Destiny Horizons has another successful campaign under its belt. The work is far from over, however, there are a bunch of Stretch Goals to unlock.  

As I mentioned, my aspiration is to reach the $7500 mark and unlock the Stretch Goal where I can produce the audiobook for the second novel. The sequel novel brings in all-new characters that make up the new Renegades team, namely Dro Tov, Trixx, and Belle Azur. Fun characters that add a whole new element to the Destiny Aurora universe.

The next Stretch Goal to unlock at $3500 is a free Digital Comic for all supporters. A werewolf called "Nightwolf." Get ready for some WOOOO! Fun.

Thank you all again for your love and support.

Until next time, keep reaching for the stars.

Destiny Aurora 98% to Goal! A new Indy Book
almost 3 years ago – Fri, May 19, 2023 at 11:43:32 PM

Hi, Destiny Aurora Fans:

After only a few days, we are mere inches from the goal line! Post, post, post, and help get over the line.

I'm hoping to unlock a bunch of stretch goals over the coming weeks to be able to get the audiobook for the 2nd book produced with the same voice performers.  

The Visarath War Parts 1 & 2 follow Jayce, Rovanna, Flibby, Rolf, and X as they investigate the escape of the prince of Visarath from Coalition custody. Who helped him and what is his next step? -- The Coalition believes that after the mysterious death of the king, he might be going after his sister, Princess Xea'lana, whose coronation is just days away.  

Jayce has a past with the princess during his days as Secret Service director, now he must protect her again, but the real villain's plans are much more nefarious and the crew of the Aurora gets caught in the crossfire. When an assassin, a thief, and a rogue pilot team up, a whole new renegade crew is formed. Excitement is just a few pages away and it all starts with a futuristic street race. 

Remember to share this campaign on social media to not only help get us across that finish line but unlock stretch to get free stuff.

Great First 48 Hours! & Indie Comic
almost 3 years ago – Tue, May 16, 2023 at 12:17:26 AM

Hi, Destiny Aurora Fans.

Thanks to each one of you and your undying support, we are at the cusp of cracking the 60% mark in the first 48 hours.  That's pretty awesome and I'm very excited for you to hear the final product and the fabulous voices these actors found to uniquely identify each of these characters. 

My goal is to not only bring you this production but to extend it to the other three novels as well. Then continue on to the Fantasy novel that is releasing right now. The Tales of Ravenore: The Iron Witch. It's my first foray into the fantasy genre and it lends itself to audio production as much as the Destiny Aurora universe. 

I'm glad you're all here to share this wild ride with me.
