day 8 kickstarter update

Day 8 and I’m so happy to say that my Kickstarter is funded at $511 thanks to 14 backers. Now it’s all about fundraising toward my stretch goals of getting an audiobook made and Bosnian translations. I’m also having an in person launch in Melbourne so order local copies through my Kickstarter and come to my launch.

Today I wanted to talk to you about my novel The Tree That Stood Still which is offered through my Kickstarter. My novel Time Kneels Between Mountains began as a sweeping 100,000-word manuscript, and I needed to cut it down so I turned the first part into a heartfelt prequel for my Seka Torlak series. The story centres on Seka and her friend Zora, exploring their bond as war erupts—a timely and emotional tale.

What makes this book even more special? I designed it with both story lovers and classrooms in mind. “The Tree That Stood Still” is part of my Pishukin Petite series, aimed at junior and middle grade readers—perfect for Years 5 through 8. It doesn’t just end with a great narrative: the book comes packed with teaching resources, including comprehension and grammar questions, plus an answer sheet—reflecting my own experience as a teacher.
Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or reader looking for meaningful stories with educational value, this book is for you.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me and for supporting independent storytelling.
