Less than two weeks until the Secrets of Starlight Kickstarter goes live! To celebrate, I am doing something special! If we can get 50 followers before then (currently we are at 34), I will share a romantic scene between grarg Kaino and Reina. 👀  (iykyk)

Anyway… thank you all for your support! I can’t wait for you to see what’s coming on April 7th!


 

Book 3: Secrets of Starlight Campaign Coming Soon!
about 1 month ago – Fri, Feb 20, 2026 at 10:12:49 AM

Hello wonderful backers! I hope you have all had a chance to read Wounds of Ash and Oaths of Shadow. I wanted to let you all know the Kickstarter for book three, Secrets of Starlight, will be going live on April 7th! 

Check out the campaign here and make sure to follow along for exciting updates leading up to the start of the campaign!

Unlike last time, where the audiobook was a stretch goal, the audiobook for Secrets of Starlight will be available from the start of this campaign! There will also be gorgeous special editions, paperbacks, and hardbacks of all three books. As an additional bonus, the ebook for Secrets of Starlight will also be available with most tiers and backers will have early access before the book's release day.

Thank you so much for your support of the first two books! These books are not just stories, they are messages of hope in a dark world, and I hope you will join me once more in bringing this series and it's messages to life!

Have an amazing weekend!

Shipments, Deliveries, and a Missing B?
over 1 year ago – Fri, Sep 13, 2024 at 11:38:10 PM

Hi all!

All special edition copies, and most physical orders were shipped out as of last weekend. Many of you probably have received your packages this week. My goal this weekend is to pack and ship all “smaller” orders (post cards, page overlays, and art packs, that were ordered without physical books. I also have a few packages to Australia that I had to wait to send for different reasons. My goal is to get them shipped within the next week.

Now about that missing B… it was brought to my attention the B is missing from the first word (blood) in chapter 1. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I went back and double checked the file I uploaded for printing, and it had the B when I sent it to Ingram. This is an error on their end that I am trying to resolve before my book releases on September 24th. 

While unfortunately yours does not have a B… you now have a rare, one of a kind first edition! 😉

(I also want to mention the word “aunt” is  missing from one of the chapters, but that was actually my error—and it wasn’t pointed out until all the books were printed).

Thank you all again for your love and support for my series! If you have awesome things to say and post about the books on social media, please don’t hesitate to tag me @klhester_author. Goodreads reviews are always appreciated as well! 😘 

It’s time!!!!!!!

Eeek! Yesterday I sprayed all copies of Oaths of Shadow. Aren’t they gorgeous?!?! 

And if you are wondering what both books look like together….

The lighting doesn’t do  justice on just how gorgeous they are!

This week I will be packing and shipping out all orders.  I have a couple of you who have not finalized your surveys or paid the shipping cost on backerkit. You will not receive your items until I have received your payment (and survey to know where to send your items). If you are one of these backers, look for a message from me here on Kickstarter with a link to your survey/payment.

For everyone: If by chance you have moved and need to change your address, please send me a message.

Finally, thank you again for your patience and support. I hope you love these books as much as I have enjoyed writing them!
