@BorisDralyuk we're reading Grey Bees in my Ukrainian book group! Just saw your name as translator. Wondering if you would have the time & inclination to drop in to our discussion on Dec. 20? I also publish Ukrainian authors in translation - I think I sent you the book by @oleg_veretskiy?

A *MYSTIC* has emerged from the Mists and embraced Oleg's book project!
kickstarter.com/projects/pieβ¦
Looking beyond the surface of everyday life, as a Mystic you feel the unseen energy of the world that is offered only for those who have the senses to embrace/channel/perceive it. Driven by this quiet wonder, you can detect the hidden stories around you and appreciate that you are part of something much greater than yourself.
Youβll be sharing the valuable philosophy and messages embedded into @oleg_veretskiyβs trilogy, adding your voice to his, quietly whispering age-old truths and asking deeper questions surrounding ancient wisdom.

A Navigator has taken the helm of our Kickstarter! Thank you!
kickstarter.com/projects/pieβ¦
Possessing the rare ability to cut through the confusion of the world and observe what is real, the Navigator does not get lost in the ambiguity of the shadows or the noise of many veiled narratives. Driven by an inner conviction, you step into uncertain spaces to bring sharpness, focus, and unmistakable direction.
Youβll be leading the way for others to follow, accepting the responsibility like many of @oleg_veretskiy's characters, knowing that the world is shaped by those strong enough to push forward.
As our Navigator, you will take with you on your voyage:
* Personalized shout-out on social media
* Hand-drawn digitized illustration
* Digital set of Book 1 illustrations
* Set of Book 2 illustrations
* Mists2 "origin story" (previously unpublished)
* Hardcopy βTales of the Wandering Mists"
* Audiobook of "Tales of the * Wandering Mists" Book 1
* Personalized dedication in print edition of Book 2
* Mystical creatures coloring book

Publishing literature in translation requires professional, highly skilled translators, artists (see draft chapter illo by @DariaKochnu9mw), editors, designers, and proofreaders, and @oleg_veretskiy's trilogy is no exception.
That's why on Friday we're launching the Kickstarter campaign, to "kick" production of Book 2 into high gear.
Emerging from the Mists, Book 2: The Man with Four Shadows: kickstarter.com/projects/pieβ¦
There's no obligation, but you will be able to support @oleg_veretskiy's Book 2 with a pledge from $1 to $5,000 - and anything in between!
Some rewards are limited, so you'll want to check them out as soon as we open on Friday Oct 9 at 9 A.M. US Eastern Time!
Please follow the voice actors from Book 1 audiobook, due for release this week and a reward for the Book 2 Kickstarter!

One of my students from last year was recently diagnosed with a rare cancerous ovarian tumor that has spread and she's now undergoing chemotherapy π
Norah & her friends used to start basically every class by telling me some ridiculous corny joke π She's such a bubbly, sweet kid who should be worrying about school, volleyball & being a teenager, not fighting cancer.
Our school volleyball team started a GoFundMe to support her family. If you're able to donate or share, please help my little corner of the internet show up for one of my kidsβ€οΈππ₯Ή

let's keep this energy going. friends! will you become our next follower on KS for this upcoming project? read more about it here β¬
The Mists are calling againβand this time, nothing is as it seems.
In 2025, you joined us in @oleg_veretskiy's fantastical world as we released Tales of the Wandering Mists, Book 1 in English. You discovered his gift for weaving mystery, wonder, spirituality, and humanity into scenes that stay in your imagination long after the final page.
Now, Book 2 arrives: The Man with Four Shadows.
Four Shadows. One Man. Impossible choices for our heroes. While the audiobook of Tales winds up in production, Oleg's sequel is ready to unfold in a story deeper, more complex, and far more perilous than we anticipated.
And, you'll be among the first to discover what he's been creating.
Click "Notify Me" on the Kickstarter page, and on Oct. 2, our all-or-nothing Kickstarter campaign goes liveβopening the mysterious World of the Mists to more audiences worldwide.
CLICK HERE to set notifications, and please share with friends, family, and colleagues throughout the campaign: πkickstarter.com/projects/pieβ¦
Special rewards await Oleg's backers, including exclusive artwork by Book 2 illustrator Daria Kochnieva: her stunning 4' Γ 5' original painting, "Dolphin's Dream," and digital editions of original art by Helena Kalm and book 1 illustrator Natalia Rusina; copies signed by Oleg; and treasures yet to be revealed - and knowing that nothing thrills Oleg more than knowing that readers are engaging with his work.
Are you ready to step back into the Mists?
