My Story
It was the year 2022, and I had just read the book “The Scarlet Letter” by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Nothing seemed to interesting about this book, but it seemed to have a calling on me. A calling that I should write something down. So, I wrote down the words: Her heart raced as the church bells tolled a sweet melody. This phrase would be the kickstart to my future that I never could have predicted. For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Kevin Womack. I am a young, ambitious author with extremely big dreams. My single most goal in life is to get my story out to people all across the world. And imagine, this all started with just a small phrase. Over the years this story has slowly evolved into something more complex. It has gone from the sweet and simple to the rough and the rugged. It is not easy to do this, but I have a passion for writing, and I will do this even if it means something to one person. | Back in early 2024, I published my first short story. Though it was not a smashing success, as I had first hoped, I had a lot of early on supporters. This lead me to writing my first novella later in May of 2024. With a short story and a novella now complete, I set my eyes on the prize. A fully fledged book! With my eagerness ready, I set to the starting line and… Stop! I could not do it. I tried to be intentional to do it every day, but it seemed that every word I wrote was worse than the last. I had hit my first writer’s block. I had no idea what I was going to do! It took me months to finally get back into a place of knowing what to write. But now, I can say that I am more ready than ever to get my books out there. This is why I have decided to stop delaying all of these projects. I have been so stressed and wrapped up with so many things, that it all got in the way. But that ends today! I will set off to finish all of these projects, given that I get enough support to do so! |
However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.
New Book
As promised, I will be fulfilling a lot of these project that I started and then I stopped, so I can now assure all of my fans and community, that Enigmatic Realms will be releasing on December 16th of 2024! This is a huge step towards victory in the Secret Seal community! This book will—and I mean will—be available for Christmas of 2024!
Enigmatic Realms now set to release Dec. 16, 2024
“But Kevin, this isn’t a new book, so what do you mean by ‘new’?” Well, I am proud to announce that a new book is on the horizons for 2025. Since Enigmatic Realms is out of the way, my new book “ Freedom Watcher” will be coming out sometime in the second quarter of 2025. And guess what? I am going to give a small sneak peek into what this book will delve into.
Five years. Five years since the shadows swallowed him whole, leaving only whispers of a man who once dared to dream. I stand here, a specter among the ruins of what was once my life, the echoes of a brighter dawn drowned in the cacophony of despair. Iridia—this hollow shell of grandeur, where hope is a fleeting ghost, and power reigns with an iron fist. They call it a new empire, but I see the shackles forged in blood and betrayal. My heart aches for the faces I’ve lost, the laughter that once filled these streets, now replaced by the haunting cries of the forgotten. If they’ve buried my name beneath their tyranny, let them tremble as I rise from the ashes of their complacency. I am the storm they never saw coming. I will remind them of the fire that once burned in our souls. I will remind them of freedom.
Now, this is just a small snippet from the book, but I think this gives off the vibe I am feeling on this one. Oh, and should I include that a video will be coming out soon for this. I guess you could call it a little teaser trailer. Stay tuned from more information about that!
Listen, I need the support of as many people as possible, so please share this newsletter to as many people as you can. I would appreciate the support. I do all of this for the complete and total understanding that this is all just for my community. So I am doing a big giveaway this month for the top three winners of who can refer the most people! I love some friendly competition, so let’s get right into it.
Of course we have the normal categories for people who refer others to my newsletter, but I will do something special this month. The person who refers the most people this month will not only get a $25 gift card, but they will also get a whole page in next month’s magazine. But we will get to that later. Second place will receive a $15 gift card and some cool character card. Finally, Third place will get a free Enigmatic Realms book when it comes out! So get to referring, because this will be a fierce battle! Updates will be posted daily.
New Magazine?
This month, not only will I be working on finalizing Enigmatic Realms, but I will also be working on a new Magazine for the month of December. This magazine will include fun games, lore, stories, journal entries, interactive material, and more! This is not just a printed out version of the newsletter! It is a brand new take on material that has never been done by myself before. Orders for the magazine will open on November 20th. Please stay up to date for the latest info about the magazine!

Help from the Community
I would like to close the State of the Union by just saying a few words about this community that has helped me along my journey:
Without everyone, this would not be possible! I am really happy to be surrounded by such a supporting and kind community. I am at a loss of words for how helpful this community has been to me. So I have a small request to make to my faithful and generous community: can you help me get my book out there?
It has been a dream of mine to inspire the world with my book. Because I believe that words do make more of an impact on people, much more than many think. If you know a business or organization that might be interested in my story, please let me know. I would love to share the word of my book with them! As always, I can be reached at my gmail: [email protected]. I have big plans for 2025, but I need to get there first and grow in order to achieve my goals.
Thank you for the support,
Kevin Womack
