What do you think? Would
you be interested in supporting a Kickstarter campaign for this book?
Details below. (I will be hosting a Facebook event this Sunday at 6:00 pm EST to answer
questions. Click HERE to RSVP.)
Awesome news! I just finished my next book. This
one's an illustrated children's story book about Soldiers dealing with
PTSD--or Post-Thematic Stress Disorder, also known as shell shock and
battle fatigue. Tate Publishing has agreed to publish it with full
perks, including full color interior illustrations, an audio book
version, a televised commercial, and it
will even come with its own coloring book! Production will begin soon.
However, in order for this book to be a success, I need to raise money
to cover marketing costs. ON THAT NOTE, I am thinking about doing
another Kickstarter campaign. (I did one back in 2012 for my book "The Everafter Chronicles", which was a HUGE success!) The mission of this
campaign is to bring awareness to the civilian sector about the
difficulties of PTSD, particularly the impact it plays on military and
veteran children. The story is presented through the eyes of a young
child, and includes the confusion, as well as the coming of
understanding, many military children today face.
Before I put
in a lot of work to begin another Kickstarter campaign, I would like to
know what you guys think. Is this something you may be interested in
supporting? Please let me know your thoughts in the comments section
below.
Just so everyone knows, I was diagnosed with PTSD and
am very familiar with the difficulties it presents. This cause is very
near and dear to my heart. I would greatly appreciate your feedback.
Thanks!

It is my goal to
instill good, positive morals to young readers in such a way that they
are having too much fun to realize that they are actually learning
valuable life lessons. The writing style and overall spirit of The Everafter Chronicles has been compared by a number of reviewers to The Chronicles of Narnia. It is my goal for my book to appeal to a large and diverse audience. Some might compare the book to The Adventures in Odyssey series, while others believe that it more resembles some aspects of a young adult version of The Lord of the Rings.
I believe my book to be an epic tale of excitement and adventure.
Nonetheless, I have taken great caution to support good morals and to
teach valuable lessons without promoting one certain faith group. It is
good, clean fun!
Please join me in my mission to promote
high-quality, family-friendly adventure! By pledging you will not only
be supporting my book, but you will also be helping to fund my national
book tour. Who knows, I may visit a store in your area! Please support!
Reviews:
"Casey Sean Harmon's 'The Everafter
Chronicles: Reign of the Night Creatures' has the feel of C.S. Lewis's
Chronicles of Narnia with the story revolving around three siblings and
their dog who were pulled to another world and immersed in a magical
adventure. It is a world where the fight between good and evil is ever
present; a world called 'Everafter' where evil can be defeated by the
presence of light. But how can evil be fought when, at night, the moon
is nowhere to be found? Can these children save 'Everafter'? I love
Harmon's writing style. It is simple, concise, and organized. The way he
develops his story and his characters is seamless. I know that if I
have kids, this book will be one of those that I'd read over and over
again, simply because Casey Sean Harmon has been able to effectively
teach courage, compassion, generosity, trust, and most especially love.
The way Harmon ended 'Reign of the Night Creatures' reminds the reader
to value not just friends, but also family. Casey Sean Harmon is also
able to teach the reader the value of community and teamwork; that we
are not alone in solving the problems of the world and that the people
we meet are instrumental in our success."
-Mina Rivera, Reader's Favorite (5 star rating)
"A fast-paced, fun adventure for young children. Would make a great bedtime story."
-Alison Pensy, Bestselling author of The Custodian Novels
"Reign
of the Night Creatures is an action-packed modern story in the
brilliant tradition of the Chronicles of Narnia. James and his sisters
are kept on their toes in the imaginative world of Everafter, where the
battle of light versus dark rages. Who knows what darkness's next move
will be?"
-E.P. Marcellin, Bestselling author of Element Keepers
"I truly enjoyed reading this book; I found the story to be incredibly innovative and imaginative."
-Meghan Gregg, Tate Publishing
"Adventure reigns in this debut novel. What a fun ride."
-Obert Skye, National Bestselling author (Leven Thumps series, Pillage Trilogy)
“Inspired, imaginative and very exciting, it’s a great adventure for young readers."
-Brian Falkner, Bestselling author (The Tomorrow Code, Brain Jack)
I am pleased to announce that we just passed our goal of $1,000.00 in pledges!
That means two things:
1)
This event was successful! We reached our minimum goal, and now
everyone will receive their prizes within the following few months.
2)
This event still has 21 days to go until it ends! That means that
people can still pledge, so please continue to help me get the word out!
Let's see if we can reach $2,000.00 by the 26th!
I want to thank
all of you for your support. All of your names will be displayed on my
website, and one day when I am famous (knock on wood) you will be known
as the people who helped me get started. :)
And last but not least, I would like to thank God. I hope that my life can be a testimony for others.
