Help Out a Couple of Based Authors - and Their Daughter?
Mission Accomplished!
UPDATE!
@MorgonAuthor and I are absolutely overwhelmed with the insane outpouring of support for our daughter Sera - in ALL the forms that has taken.
Family and local friends have provided so much direct support. We have received jaw dropping support through the GoFundMe that @uppityhobbit put together. My employer has been amazing. I have friends I have not spoken to for literally 30 years who have reached out with kind words. And total strangers have given us encouragement and even donations. And most of all, I think there are genuinely THOUSANDS of people praying for her.
There is no possible way for me to thank each and every one of you personally. But please know that we deeply appreciate Every Single Bit of it. We love you all.

If they’d operated 1-3 days earlier, before antibiotics had time to take effect, they wouldn’t have had enough healthy tissue to attach a patch over the *silver dollar sized* hole in her heart.
If they’d operated 1-3 days later, her aortic valve would have burst on its own.
And yet you are both alive. I, for one, really love living in The Future!
Thank you all for participating in the GoFundMe and buying Russell and Morgan’s Based Books. As Russell says, “I’ve never in my life been this thrilled to watch Duck Tales.”
The Original Post
Russell and Morgan Newquist have long been active members in the Based Book community. Through running Silver Empire press, and through their own novels, they set an example for us all how to create and promote Based Books.
Now, their daughter, Sera, is suffering from serious cardiac problems, and Russell and Morgon have had to travel hours away from home to ensure that Sera gets the care she needs.
They will need to be at a downtown hotel within walking distance of the hospital, and that can get pricey. Plus all the other expenses that come with a crisis of this magnitude. Let’s help them out
Russell and Morgon have made it clear that any money not used directly for the expenses of this event will be donated to the Children’s Hospital of Alabama because they treat everyone regardless of ability to pay.
You may donate directly via GoFundMe, and consider also picking up one of their excellent books.
War Demons: A Supernatural Thriller
When he came home, so did they...
Driven by vengeance, Michael Alexander enlisted in the Army the day after 9/11. Five years later, disillusioned and broken by the horrors he witnessed in Afghanistan, Michael returns home to Georgia seeking to begin a new life. But he didn’t come alone. Something evil followed him, and it’s leaving a path of destruction in its wake.
The police are powerless. The Army has written Michael off. Left to face down a malevolent creature first encountered in the mountains of Afghanistan, he’ll rely on his training, a homeless prophet, and estranged family members from a love lost...
But none of them expected the dragon.
Jim Butcher’s Harry Dresden collides with Larry Correia’s Monster Hunter International in this supernatural thriller that goes straight to Hell!
Hellgate (Neighborhood Watch Book 1)
Emilia King has made an art of bad choices. Just ask her mother, she’ll tell you every single thing she’s done wrong for years.
When her latest bad choice changes the locks to their apartment and leaves all her stuff on the doorstep, Emilia can’t bear to hear “I told you so” one more time. So she moves in with her grandfather. Then she can have some space to figure out who…and what she wants to be, without her mother breathing down her neck.
What she finds there is anything but peace. Her grandfather battles invisible creatures in the dark. Neighbors torn apart by wild beasts.
Not to mention the moody, gorgeous man across the street with the motorcycle. The kind of man that’s her kryponite.
But when her grandfather falls ill, his position of head of the Neighborhood Watch falls to her. And in this neighborhood, it’s more than measuring grass height or catching petty thefts.
Down the Dragon Hole:
A Tale of The School of Spells & War
Alis was a quiet librarian at the campus library of the School of Spells & Magic - that is, until the sword wielding buffoon Cahan had the audacity to battle a dragon in her library! Now she's following him off on some foolhardy adventure. As they try to save the university from the mysterious Formless, she fights an equally important battle - to maintain her self respect!
The School of Spells & War is an ongoing collection of old fashioned sword-and-sorcery adventure stories following a wizard and warrior duo as they galavant across the continent of Thillon. Good-humored, powerful warrior Cahan and intelligent, skilled wizard Alis work together to serve their university, the school of spells and war, by battling dragons, investigating plots against the king, hunting witches, and dealing with the ongoing threat of the ancient and mysterious Formless.
Here’s to a speedy and successful recovery for Sera, and thank you all for being part of the Based Book community.
