So, we have finished our first week of Voodoo Nations and we are already funded!!! We have had some great responses so far. So, one of the things that I wanted to share about this project is how personal it is to me. Voodoo Nations is totally a fictional world but some NUGGETS of truth can be found in the project. My mother died a few years back and it was the first real big hit to my heart. I hadnt lost anyone who made a huge impact like that prior to my mother’s death. My mother’s death was sudden and tragic. When my mom died. I kind of lost my mind, i wasnt myself. Its like the lyrics to the Wallflowers- One Headlight “i ain't changed but i know i ain't the same”
I just felt a part of me was gone and i couldnt find it. Truth is, i never found it. When you love someone and you are in grief. It never goes away it just becomes part of who you are. My wife Heather had to go through that with me. We had been dating a little under a year and the man she knew didnt change but he would never been the same. I lose a little bit of that hopefulness, a little of that sparkle in my eye. I keep trying to crawl back to her but i couldnt. I was dying inside.
To attempt to deal with this grief. My brother, My daughter, some friends and my wife took a journey to New Orleans. I had always wanted to go being a huge fan of GAMBIT growing up. (Fun fact: my wife and i named our child Remy) I fell in love with the city and I drank trying to drown the sorrow that i felt and i lost myself and could not find who i was. However, my wife stood by me and fought for me. She waited for me on the other end of this thing. She was my champion that i didnt deserve.
That’s the deeper story of Voodoo Nations. Its a fictional tale of what i believe my wife dealt with when the love of her life was gone with no hope of returning. In this story, i added some Voodoo, Some Spirits, and some Violence but the core of the book is fighting for someone you love.
With that being said if you haven’t signed on now is the time!!
