Magefable is an illustrated fantasy adventure that is raising funds to publish on Kickstarter. The story follows two mice on a journey around the world searching for magic and treasure. Great for fans of Redwall, Mouse Guard, and Final Fantasy. If you like it, you can help getting it get published by sharing it on Facebook or Twitter or by backing the project. You can get copies of the book, bookmarks, trading cards, art prints, and more! There's only a short time left to get it published so please check it out here:

Durbin has always dreamed of becoming a swashbuckling adventurer like his legendary father. But unfortunately he's stuck in the secluded valley forest of Verdancia, far away from the sway and swagger of the sea. On one fateful evening a mouse named Clove and her spear hog companion Herod stumble into his village. They had escaped from the terrible lion Sinvicious who wants to stop Clove before she can gain the full power of a geomancer--a mage with the ability to control the elements. Fire, water, wind, lightning, all can be controlled by a geomancer. They can fly, turn themselves invisible, make their skin as solid as rock, shift the earth, and even control life... Although all Clove can do at this point is make weeds move.

The next morning when Durbin awakes he finds Clove and Herod gone. Unable to resist the call of adventure, he journeys out into the woods to find them, dragging along his reluctant friend Morro the hedge hog, who would rather be sitting at home eating scones and berries. On their way they meet other new friends such as Reverie, a wounded sparrow who can mesmerize animals with his singing, and Bailey, a courageous and boisterous young squirrel who is hunting for a dragon to tame. But as Durbin and Morro seek Clove and Herod, so does Krochek the Hunter--the most vile, savage rat ever to emerge from Sinvicious's kingdom. Along with his horde of bloodthirsty rodents he will tear the forest apart in his effort to find them.

This looks really neat, Thunder! Is this something that you are publishing, yes?

Ah, Redwall and Mouse Guard. Great stories.

This looks really cool. I'd help, but I have no money.

I am working on publishing this. I had shopped it around to agents and had some interest but none of them knew how to market it, they weren't sure whether to have it be fantasy, middle-grade, graphic novel, or whatnot, so after two years of waiting on agents I decided to just publish it myself. I'm raising the funds for the ISBNs and professional editing on Kickstarter. If you're interested in checking out the whole project you can follow the link above, I'm also working on a website at magefable.com that gives details about the story and characters. I'm hoping once I have a couple books finished that I can make them available to small stores, like comic shops, and attend comic conventions and such.
