Make a difference

Because this isn’t just a book—it’s proof that even in the middle of chaos, you can still chase your dream.

I’m John: a full-time surgical tech working 12-hour shifts, a full-time cybersecurity student, and a father of four amazing kids. I’m juggling textbooks, diapers, and surgical trays—while still sitting down late at night to build a world of rift magic, demon armies, and ancient bloodlines.

Writing this novel isn’t just about me. It’s about showing my kids—and anyone watching—that no matter how packed your life is, your passion still matters.

But the truth is, indie publishing isn’t cheap. Cover art. Editing. Formatting. Marketing. Beta reader materials. And right now, every extra dollar is going toward groceries, rent, or keeping the lights on while my wife transitions into a new job.

Your donation doesn’t just help fund a book—it helps carve out the time and resources to bring this story to life the right way. It tells my kids, “Dad’s dream matters.” It puts fuel in the tank of a writer who refuses to quit, no matter how heavy life gets.

You’re not just giving to a project—you’re becoming part of the story.

⚔️ Every donor is helping build the world of Celestia, one page at a time.
📖 You’re making it possible for The Last Rift Walker to exist in the hands of readers, not just as a dream in my head.
✍️ And when that first copy ships out—I’ll know it wasn’t just written by me. It was built by us.

If you believe in grit, in passion, in underdog stories—you believe in this.
