The Clan of Six
Thirty days ago, I opened a door.
I didn't know who would walk through it. I didn't know how many would stop and look. I simply put Hand of Belenos into the world and asked — is anyone out there?
3,599 of you answered.
Every single one of those entries represented a person who paused in the middle of their day, looked at something I made from the quietest and most honest part of myself, and said — yes. I want that.
That matters more than I can adequately express.
Six were chosen.
I won't tell you everything that's coming for them. Not yet. Some things are meant to arrive without warning — readers of Hand of Belenos will understand exactly what I mean by that.
What I will tell you is this.
They are not prize winners.
They are the Clan of Six. The first. The original. Chosen by fate from 3,599 souls who raised their hand, reaching for the same story.
Their names will live on my website permanently. Their VIP status with Stone Literary LLC has no expiration. And something else is coming for them — something woven into the very fabric of what I'm building — that I will let them discover in their own time.
To the 3,593 who didn't win —
You answered the door. That matters. The next door opens soon.
To Katherine, Melissa, Kadee, Bit, Brian and Twila —
Welcome to something larger.
You have no idea yet how much larger.
— Mickey Stone

...polish and editing mode!

Never in a million years did I think this story would come together as fast as it did.

Want to get a sneak peek? You can become a beta reader!

OR, you could become an ARC reader.

We have the book and cover art mockups with our Cover Artist and we are sure that Tom will knock it out of the park.

I am looking for volunteers for the next book in "The Venerated Legacy"!

Stone of Alisanos, the second book in THE VENERATED LEGACY series, follows the story of Provost Ethan Graham. Travel with him as he faces challenges, teachings, love, and sacrifice... all to better others, even as it costs him dearly. Love is what drives him; Unification is what he wishes for; corrupt forces are what he must face.

Would you prefer a book that has typical and well formed tropes, characters, story arcs and resolution?

Or would you rather have something that isn't exactly what you expect, something you didn't see coming or a storyline that comes out of nowhere?

And lets say you can see what any of those decisions/thought processes actually make sense to you?

I never *ever* expected the 2nd book to come together that fast, but it did!

So now I am in polishing mode. Typos, grammar, reword and rewrite.

WHEW!

I have a Goodreads giveaway about to go live in the next couple of days... as well as a jump start on Book 2, "Stone of Alisanos".

An origin story that will make you read 'Hand of Belenos' in a completely new light!
