Help me pay for professional audiobook narration



https://gofund.me/320de4a7

Hi, my name is Alikai Bronach and I am the author of the epic fantasy series for new adults (16+) The Psion Saga. Books 1 and 2 were published in 2023 and book 3 in 2024. Here's the link to buy book 1 Tiger Eyes and Dragon Teeth: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CG833L64


I have drafted books 4 and 5, and am writing book 6. There are 3-4 more to follow. I have had this story inside me and partially written, in various forms, since I was 14 (more than 20 years!). During high school it was one of my obsessions and dreams to become a published author.

Now that I have achieved (self) publication in print and ebook format I am keen to see it published with professional audiobook narration, but I need your help to finance it.


Book 1: Tiger Eyes and Dragon Teeth


Book 2: Strike of the Skyearls


Book 3: Claws That Cut Both Ways



About The Psion Saga

In The Psion Saga Alikai Bronach presents a world where psionic magic is part of everyday life, from the shape-changing Rada to the telepathic Anzaii. The Kriites need these powers if they are to survive the onslaught of the flame-wielding, demon conjuring Zeikas. If you enjoy classic good vs evil high fantasy with lots of action and creatures, this is a great series for you.

Great battle scenes in fantasy movies and TV

Image
As a massive fan of fantasy I have watched every show and movie I could get my hands on over the past twenty years, although I'm not too keen on animated shows. Here are ten movies or TV shows will awesome, epic battle scenes: Game of Thrones The Long Night (2019) The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) The Hobbit The Battle of the Five Armies (2014) The Great Wall (2016) The Chronicles of Narnia The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe (2005) The Mummy Returns (2001) The Lord of the Rings The Two Towers (2002) Noah (2014) Gods of Egypt (2016) The Lord of the Rings The Return of the King (2003) In my books I generally avoid the stereotypical open battle field with two armies rushing headlong to fight. I don't find it believeable and, especially in fantasy, I like to think about the logic and feeling of the characters. Why are they doing this? Would running 200 yards across a battle field not exhaust them before they'd even had a chance to raise their sword to the en

Five books cover reveal

Image
Hi everyone! I have finished writing book 4 of The Psion Saga and am working on book 5. For those who have already read books 1 and 2, you won't have to wait long to find out what happens to Sarlice and Taeon. Book 3,  Claws That Cut Both Ways,  is being release in the next few months. The publisher PublishMyBook.onlin just has some final tweaks to do with the print layout (I do my own typesetting and cover design), ebook conversion then it will go up for sale! So excited.  I usually design at least a first draft cover before I write each book, so here are all five covers. Yes, there is a fair bit of AI artwork in here, but I piece everything together and spend days on the graphic design work. My engine of choice is Neural.love because it allows outpainting and upscaling for very reasonable prices. I sometimes also use elements from other services.  The artwork on book 2 is by a real artist, named Adele Sessler, who is very talented. Unfortunately, being a single mum nowadays work

Having fun with my son and some AI with Firefly

Image
My son and I had some fun tonight with Firefly, Adobe's AI. It's changed a lot since I last used it. The prompt: A boy who loves frogs on Saturn. The generated image: Often AI gets a few details weird. It especially struggles with hands and feet. I took it into Photoshop and used generative AI and some manual touching up with the paintbrush, healing brush, dodge and eraser tools. I first fixed the frog feet, which don't look right in the original. After fixing the AI-generated frog feet: Photoshop really struggled with the top foot of the frog on the right, so I copy-pasted its other foot and changed it a bit to deal with that. Then I noticed that the boy's right hand and foot are not looking right. So I used generative AI to fix both of those in Photoshop as well. Here's the result: There are a few other oddities I touched up quickly. Not putting any serious time into this, as it's just been for a bit of fun. See if you can spot them! Peace!
