Two Complete Novels
ANON
Rory Ellison, victim of his own misdeeds, wallows in misery. Then a door opens. Now he’s got a new job, a dream assignment to rewrite the darkest mistake of his past, and a strange new companion in his head. Wielding powers beyond his comprehension and control, Rory returns to … … Faith. She possesses the perfect husband, kids, and home. But when Rory falls back into her world, old wounds open wide, shattering her ideal life. At the center of the mayhem stands Anon, a seemingly benevolent organization with a sinister past of its own. “Helping you realize your dreams sooner,” the company promises. But what do they stand to gain? How far will they go to get what they want? And if they make dreams a reality, what about nightmares? Only Michelle, a young girl with a strange gift, can defeat the evil threatening her family. But she must face fear, work with the ghosts of her enemy’s past, navigate a maze of terror, and make the tough choice to grow up too soon in a world filled with evil and indifference. Hold on tight! Anon—a tale of corporate and familial terror—is unlike anything you’ve ever read.
BEYOND ANON
BEYOND ANON is the long-awaited sequel to last year’s smash-hit, ANON. As Michelle Breedlove travels home from Dexter Ridge, Wyoming, in constant wait for the next wave of terror, she discovers a message from Reggie Ellison. She is safe for now, the communication tells her, but there will come a time when she’ll be needed. Six years later, Michelle is once more drawn into a timeless game between dominions known as The Land of Light and The Land of Shadow. Torn between budding emotions and fighting for a world that has alienated and abused her, Michelle must face her fears for the final showdown with Anon. “Bravo to Peter Giglio—a bright, disarming, and downright scary new voice in horror.” —Amy Wallace, #1 New York Times Bestselling author and Bram Stoker nominee “An invigorating new hand with the poise, polish, and prevision of an established old hand. Peter Giglio arrives on the genre fiction scene with force and vitality. He’s a natural, a keeper, a clean shot of oxygen.” —Eric Shapiro, author of The Devoted and Stories for the End of the World

The airwaves are buzzing with the recent announcement by Random House that they have launched several new digital-only imprints, including one called “Hydra.” Their logo looks like this and covers science fiction and fantasy novellas and novels.
They have also received some notoriously bad press, like the following story by John Scalzi (http://whatever.scalzi.com/2013/03/06/note-to-sff-writers-random-houses-hydra-imprint-has-appallingly-bad-contract-terms/) and here, and here http://www.digitalbookworld.com/2013/sci-fi-and-fantasy-writers-group-condemns-random-house-hydra-digital-imprint/ where the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA) condemns the imprint because it “fails to pay authors an advance against royalties, as SFWA requires, and has contract terms that are onerous and unconscionable.”
However, HYDRA PUBLICATIONS is NOT in any way affiliated with Random House or with this firestorm of criticism. HYDRA PUBLICATIONS has a logo that looks like one of the ones below. HYDRA PUBLICATIONS began in November 2010 and has a completely different stable of authors who are quite content with their contracts and the support they receive from the company.
LET US REPEAT THIS: WE ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH RANDOM HOUSE OR THEIR DIGITAL IMPRINT IN ANY WAY. WE NEGOTIATE OUR OWN CONTRACTS WITH OUR AUTHORS. THESE ARE TWO SEPARATE BUSINESS ENTITIES. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, please contact Frank or Kim Hall at info@hydrapublications.com.
 
For complete information on this kickstarter project, please go to the kickstarter page which can be found here.
 There are five books in all at the moment, with more to come. The first three books are being published by a small press, Hydra Publications. The publisher is doing everything possible to get the word out.
So what’s the story about? How is it different than any other adventure fantasy and why would I want to support it?
Without giving you a ton of spoilers here, let’s just say that this story has a different twist to conquering evil than anything you have ever read. It’s that message that just might help the world, one person at a time! It’s a coming-of-age tale about a boy becoming a man and learning some really important lessons along the way.
Money earned for this project will be spent on:
Art supplies for the illustrations and book covers for the series. Even with the author doing her own illustration there are costs involved. Canvas, paints, studio expenses.
Publishing Costs
Formatting, editing and all the costs involved in bringing six books to the reader.
Trailers for the forthcoming books.
Whereas some really great people have been working to bring this story alive, there’s more to do. We need props, technicians, costumes and much more.
We’re hoping to make a trailer for each of these five sequels:
Rubies and Robbers, book 3 of the Ian’s Realm Saga
Cassandra’s Castle book 4
Abbott book 5
Diary of a Conjurer book 6
Untitled, book 7
Promotional Materials.
Flyers, posters, bookmarks and other marketing materials.
Recording an album with Lexa Rose who sings The Ballad of The Dragon Shield for our book trailer above. We have a vision to put other poems in the stories to music, to offer a multi-media experience that will reinforce the message of the Ian’s Realm saga.
What we’re offering (a complete list of items can be found on the kickstarter page)
Not only do we have autographed copies of the books that are already in print, and book three that is getting ready to come out, but we have artwork.
Dianne Lynn Gardner is an established, award-winning professional portrait and plein air artist. Her work is owned by both national and international collectors of fine art. She is the artist of wine labels for an estate winery in Washington. Her book covers and illustrations are unique oil paintings you’ll not find anywhere else. And now you have a chance to own, not just one of her signed prints, but one of the original oil paintings used as an illustration in this series. You can chose which one you want as a reward on the right.
