Unbroken Update

Happy 2026 all!  As you may have heard, Robin, I, and Shawn Speakman are helping Peter Orullian with the Unbroken Anthology. In the same spirit as Unfettered (which was created to relieve Shawn Speakman of medical debt from his second cancer diagnosis), this anthology will (hopefully) do the same for Peter and his wife, neither of which have medical insurance (and both of whom have incurred high debut from cancer). A big part of this situation is  because earning a living wage and healthcare as an author isn't an easy feat.

We were planning on launching the Kickstarter in January, but for a number of reasons, it's been pushed to April 21st.  More than 7,000 people have signed up to be notified about this pre-order and there is a free gift if you back it within the first 48 hours, so if you want to sign up for notification, then you can sign-up from this link.

Since the anthology was originally announced, some authors couldn't participate, and others have been added. Here is the full list:

As you can see, there are some "heavy hitters" on this project including Brandon Sanderson, Terry Brooks, Christopher Paolini, Brent Weeks, Kevin Hearne, Mark Lawrence, and R.A. Salvatore. Some of the most recent adds were a number of notable indie authors such as Matt Dinniman, Will Wight, and Ryan Cahill. This will be a must have anthology, and what's even better is it's for a good cause.

For my own contribution, it'll have a short story from The Cycle: the highly-anticipated post-Riyria Revelations series.  If you are anxiously awaiting those 5 books, then you'll want to nab a copy.
