Throwin’ together the pages to publish my book! That’s right, it was fully funded on GoFundMe! Thanks to all the generous donations that not only made this possible, but sent the amount over the set goal. I am super grateful, and excited to show you all the rest of the book soon!!

Hey hey! My picture book's Kickstarter is up and running!!! Check it out at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gloydverse/beyond-bedtime!

About the story:

Strange things start happening when the lights go out for bedtime... For one, a little girl's favorite stuffed monster comes to life--and it's huge! What sort of fun (and trouble) awaits this curious little one as she joins her friend on its crazy adventures? 

​This 32-page, wordless tale of friendship tells the importance of obedience, as well as the invaluable power of loyalty and sacrificial love.

Goal:

The goal of this Kickstarter is to finally move the book from "in the works" into the public eye, available for purchase in hard copy and ebook form.

Further Info:

Why is the story wordless?

For one, the story was originally planned out as an art show many years back, featuring a small series of paintings that told the tale. This book is very important to me as it expresses my heart and spirituality. Sometimes, it's hard to capture those feelings into words... so I decided keep them out. Also, I wanted this story to be as easy as possible to follow for anyone, of any age, from anywhere.

Is this story about the "Gospel?"

Well... yes. But it's more a take on what that feels like for me on a personal level. To me, it's very simple yet deep, like a child. To others, spiritual things aren't so physical or literal, or are even not real at all. The story can be depicted in a wide range, from "it's actually happening" to "this all in the child's imagination." There will be a Scripture reference at the very end in small print; however, my hope is not to encourage you to support a spiritual belief, but to simply enjoy a fun story with meaning.

Is shipping included in the rewards?

To avoid confusion, shipping is not added until the reward tier is chosen and will vary depending on whether the prizes are being delivered within the U.S. or internationally.

THANK YOU SO MUCH in advance for all your help and support! I really couldn't have done this without you guys. And good luck!!

More updates to come as the project progresses!
