Welcome

Welcome to the Other Skies Blog! This is a place where I intend to post articles and stories from my personal life, as well as entries from the eponymous Other Skies and Kalion Worlds narratives. The blog is open to contributions from those who reach out to me personally (kell@mbp2.blog) with an example of the work they wish to submit, as well as to close associates who wish to make their voices heard.

What is Other Skies?

Other Skies is a story about the self, and the inner conflict that occurs within us all. Within the framework of the story, you will meet Jonas and Hannah—two characters who are at war within themselves—and delve into their personal Heaven and Hell within the Garden, a space divined by and for them within the corridors of time itself. They are driven by the enigmatic echoes of their future selves, who see them as expendable resources—means to an end—in their quest to end suffering for all within a universe that they, themselves, created.

Kalion Worlds

Kalion Worlds follows parallel to Other Skies from the perspectives of the characters making up the bulk of the universe around Hannah and Jonas. The first volumes follow a strange woman named Kell who searches for a relic left in the wake of Jonas's crusade and tries to use the relic to bring back her family, though throughout her quest is herself beset with moral questions and impedance from a voice within the relic.

Supporting My Work

My work is important to me. I wish to use it to provide new perspectives to readers across cultural and language boundaries, which is why I will personally be translating articles from English to French, Russian, and Mandarin Chinese with time, and will eventually seek to have more languages represented in my work through an outreach program for translators to work on my stories faithfully and be paid for their time. In order to support these endeavors, I need you—the reader—to support me in any way that you can.

One way you can do that is to share this blog with as many people as possible. Another way is by donating directly to my Ko-fi page. It takes less than five minutes, and any amount makes a huge difference in my ability to maintain this blog and provide compelling stories for years to come!

Benefits of Supporting Me

When you support my work, you gain some privileges within the Blog's community, such as a special signature role and tag within the Two Worlds Discord community, as well as the ability to have some level of input in the direction of the Kalion Worlds production; as a supporter, you are also able to entitled to contribute some of your own articles directly, and I will review them and edit them as I would my own work! Finally, by supporting me, you will receive previews of upcoming Other Skies volumes up to a week before they reach the general audience.

I want to make clear that by supporting my work, you have my utmost appreciation and I await the day where we work side-by-side!
