What is Gaea's Runaways, Anyways?

When I first started writing in this universe, I had a couple of goals. First, to write something that young Kevin would have loved reading. So my first story in this setting was for me. Young me. Weird me. Which is still me, so just young me. I had a blast and crafted a storyline that would inspire a series.

I also wanted stories that my kids would love. Thus, two characters you haven’t met yet came to life. I remember being a kid and wanting to enter the stories I was reading. The daydreams I had, that I could be a part of an epic fantasy adventure, pulled me along through many a story. I wanted that for my kiddos too.

So two stories were born of two goals, and both of those stories (and I have plans to publish them both in the future) fit beautifully together in the same setting. But what does that have to do with Gaea? Or her Runaways? Why is the logo a small fleet of ships leaving a blue-green planet?

I thought these were fantasy stories, fella! What’s with the sci-fi vibe?

Hush, you. We ain’t doing spoilers.

It’s not just a vibe. Gaea’s Runaways is more than just a catchy name for a storyline (and it’s wicked cool, isn’t it?). It’s a structural theme that connects several stories and a number of series within that setting. At first, it will seem a little strange. You’ll get a sense of it within the first book. But by the end of it all, hopefully it’ll have a punch that resonates throughout the story arc and deep within your rattlin’ readin’ bones.

So be patient. Trust the process. And may the Ancestors watch over you and all of Gaea’s Children.
