Ladies and gentlemen!
After 15 years of hard labour -- mapping out an entire world, learning languages, culture, history, fashion, cuisine, religions, flora and fauna -- I am proud to present Legend of the Quill - Book one of The Prophet's Tale!
In order to take this epic tale of adventure to print, I'm running a Pubslush campaign to fund the Offset printing. This would enable 500 copies to go to print in a glorious, Canadian-made, deluxe embossed, illustrated and signed limited edition.
In order for that to happen, I need your help!
Please check out the campaign: pubslush.com/project/5634
Pitch in whatever you can, share the link, tell your friends, get this thing out there and seen!
Are you a fan of the arts? Do you like gritty high fantasy like Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings or The First Law? Do you like cool swag like bookmarks, audiobooks, posters, custom illustrations or limited editions? Do you like world building, alien races, diverse pantheons, or in-depth magic systems? Then you should definitely check out Legend of the Quill!
Even if you can't afford to pitch in cold hard cash, you can still be a part of the magic! I'm running two raffles that are totally free to enter:
1) Share the Poster: (see the post for details)
2) Share the Link: pubslush.com/project/5634 on your social media (twitter, tumblr, dA, facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc). For each channel you post it on, you get one entry. Send me the link, and I'll reshare it on my channels as well, which means you get some return exposure. It's a win-win!
I've got only 45 days to raise $10,000 dollars. For each $1000 threshold we clear, EVERYONE who has pitched in gets automatic upgrades to their perks. It's a team effort, and everyone will be rewarded by better and more stuff the closer we get to that dream goal. Join the party and help us get one step closer to that finish line!
Thank you so much for all your support and encouragement! With your help we can make this dream come true!

ECLIPSE disaster
Hey friends, I'm not sure how many of you actually come to the group for your Weaponry reading, rather than just snacking on pages from your notifications, but Eclipse has made it impossible for me to accept comic pages to the group anymore. The notifications are visible, but every time I try to click on them to accept the comic page, it boots me back to my private notifications. No idea how to fix it, and DeviantART is patently opposed to listening to its users' feedback or, y'know, actually making a functional website, so I don't know if this is something that can be fixed. If any of you have found a way to troubleshoot this problem, please let me know. And, as always, thank you for reading!
New Year, Who Dis?
Hello friends and scallywags!
2020 has arrived, and I'm still standing . . . mostly. I don't often post written updates, or insights into my personal life, so I hope you'll bear with me for a bit of a long one.
2019 brought a lot of changes:
1. I got a promotion at work which required me to quit my second job and that no longer pays me commission.
2. It has required me to go back to school for training (twelve courses to be precise; so far I've finished two).
3. This has cut down on my creative time, as well as time for anything else, like hanging out with my friends, exercising, or (my one true love) writing.
4. I lost a bunch of follo
Legend of the Quill Pre-Order
Hello, hello, hello!
After a mad-cap pace and gruelling schedule, which may have permanently bloodshot my eyes I am happy to report:
Legend of the Quill is ready for print!
For those of you who read First Born, this is the next book in the Ul-Zaorith world, and the start of an epic high fantasy trilogy!
The book clocks in at just over 440 pages, and is illustrated by yours truly. It will be released at this time only in soft cover. The selling price is only $25 and you can pre-order your copy here: http://www.astracrompton.com/legendofthequill.php
If you're outside of the Victoria area and would still like to order a copy, please send me
Exciting News!!
Well, it seems that all of my hard work is finally paying off. I'm really excited by recent turns of events, and would like to fill you all in:
First - Legend of the Quill is going to crowdfunding! That's right! After 15 years of work (world building, illustrating, editing, formatting), I finally found a company that is capable of affordably producing my dream binding for this book!
However, in order to do it, I have to order 500 copies (which is 5 times more books than I've ever sold of any of my previous titles). In order to facilitate this dream, I will be running a Pubslush Campaign to raise the needed funds. Pubslush is very fast-paced
