The new, updated Kickstarter is live! Click the link below!

This is the message with the link to the new Kickstarter, and would really appreciate it if you'd back it at the same reward levels you already chose for the previous project.

A few small differences are that if you want all the books, you'll add them as "Add-Ons" rather than choosing a reward level with all of them included. I'll be doing al...

Portals Project Update!

Hey there!

The campaign has been live for a week and is entering its second week, with two weeks left total (It's only a 3 week campaign),

I want to thank you for your continued support and for sharing this Kickstarter far and wide. With a small, unknown author such as myself, it is the people like you that make these project successful by sharing on social media, with the mailman, or even skywriting.

The Good News!

I've been making a few changes to the campaign, and it all works out to mean YOU get...

Want 3 Books & 5 Audiobooks?

I’ll keep this short and sweet.

Travis has launched Phase Three of his writing career. And like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s enormous in the scope of his vision, but without their financial backing.

Phase One was casual writing and publishing short stories in anthologies, along with editorials. Phase Two was self publishing his own books, nonfiction, his first audiobooks, and being a newspaper reporter. Phase Three includes entire series of books spanning from fantasy to cyberpunk!

Because o...

Quitting Felt Good!

Hey there,

Did I miss the May newsletter? I think I may have, but I have a great excuse! I was so busy in May, writing Book 5 of the Portals Series (titled Towers & Trolls), that I didn’t have time to even look at the newsletter. I wrote a full length novel, and next in the series, in less than thirty days. All while live-streaming it on my Twitch Channel, TravisTavern.

Do you know what that means comes next? If you said, “a cover reveal” then you were right! I have the cover for Portals, Book 4 -...

The Sound of Portals...

Hey there,

It’s time for another update, but I am going to make this short, sweet, and to the point—because I’ve got a lot of things to do this month, and I don’t want to get behind!

First, I’ve just finished recording and editing Portals, Book 1, Beliefs and Black Magics in audiobook form! I’ve spent the last month doing all those things, and just last night (at 11 PM), I summitted it to Quality Control. Once they approve the files, (about 10 business days), it will be available on FOURTY-THREE d...

Explore Another World... for FREE

Beliefs & Black Magics has a new cover, and so do the other books in the Portals series. Even the newest book got an awesome cover! Let me know what you think of them, I'd love some feedback!

And book 1 of Portals is free on Amazon for one more day. Grab your copy now by clicking here.

In other news, here's a sneak peak at book 4 of the Portals series, Sigils & Satyrs…

I just completed the first draft today, and I'm beginning the edit phase.

And one more piece of exciting news! Last year I built ...

More Portals are Opening...

In book one, I brought three characters from our world to Aetheria, on the continent of Teurone, thirty years after the events in The Downfall series. The world was a shattered ruin, and three broken people were taken at the moment of their death in one world, to inhabit a body of someone who’d just died in a world of myths and magics.

It was in that first book, Beliefs & Black Magics; I gave life to two characters that became fan favorites, as well as becoming an incredible duo in the books… Tor...

Winter isn't just coming, it's here!

The 21st of December was the winter solstice, first day of winter, and the holiday season is in full swing across much of the world. It’s been a busy couple of months for me, with lots of family events, from deaths of those close to me, to getting married to Andrea - my partner of eight years.

But, with all the good and the sad, life goes on and I’m looking forward to what’s to come. I’ve been designing my new website, redesigning my live-stream, and dropping a few edits on book covers, and so on...

Ramping up!

Hey there,

Hope you’ve been doing okay, and I appreciate you sticking around my newsletter. Oh, if you didn’t mean to, you can unsubscribe below with a click of your mouse. I never want to bother anyone who isn’t wanting to be bothered.

I switched newsletter software, so now each newsletter is also saved online as a blog-sorta thing. Nifty, eh?

So, as of tomorrow it is the beginning of NaNoWriMo (short for National Novel Writing Month), and I will be starting Portals Book 4 (yet, untitled). I will ...
