The first quarter of the year has disappeared in a blur of drafts, edits, releases and looming deadlines—business as usual at Stories Rule Press. Mark is deep into the next Thomas Billings thriller, Tracy is preparing new fiction and nonfiction releases, Taylen is starting an all-new fantasy series, and Cameron has another big-concept science fiction novel on the horizon. Different genres, different voices, same mission: story comes first. Always.
A hidden network of portals connects our world to another—and for generations, Veilwardens have kept them stable, invisible, and under control. But now the system is faltering. VEILBOUND by Taylen Carver is a standalone fantasy novel that opens the door to a much larger story.
Bridges look simple, but they quietly reshape the world around them. From Tolkien’s Last Bridge to the rainbow span of Bifröst, bridges in fantasy turn geography into decisions, create natural chokepoints, and mark the crossing from one world into another. As history shows—from Roman Corbridge to the Rhine in 1945—who controls the bridge often controls the story. Which may be why so many unforgettable fantasy moments happen right in the middle of one.
