Crowdfunding Corner: Discover the Orchard of the Tame

Backer Beware: Crowdfunding projects are not guaranteed to be delivered and/or delivered when promised. We always recommend to do your research before backing.

Comic book creative couple Troy Little and Brenda Hickey are expanding their boutique publishing line Pegamoose Press with Orchard of the Tame – the stunning debut graphic novel from Nick Cross and Marlo Meekins.

This beautiful coming-of-age/dark fantasy is an absolute feast of imagination as we follow River Siren, a young mermaid navigating the beauty and horror of the world outside of her prison, on her journey towards self actualization. With help from her newfound friends she must overcome her fears and confront the monster who kept her caged.

Pegamoose Press emerged quietly during the pandemic as a venue for both Little and Hickey to test the waters of crowdfunding their creator owned books. With three successful Kickstarters behind them, and a growing number of industry award nominations, they’ve decided to expand beyond their own titles and support fresh new voices, starting with the whimsical B&W fantasy epic, Orchard of the Tame.

Orchard of the Tame‘s crowdfunding campaign runs until Sunday, March 31, 2024 at 11:03 AM EDT.
