Become a Griffin-Hearted Advance Reader
Be among the first to Experience Jonathan's next adventure.
Return to the Land of Dreams.
Several years have passed since Jonathan He'klarr and his friends faced the events of the original Jonathan trilogy. Now they're older, their lives are changing—and an entirely new adventure is about to begin!
Before Rankerbane: The Mind Breakers reaches shelves, I'm inviting a small group of fantasy readers to become part of my Griffin-Hearted Advance Reader Team!
APPLICATIONS OPEN SEPTEMBER 14–30, 2026
Who We’re Looking For
IS THE LAND OF DREAMS FOR YOU?
I'm especially looking for readers who enjoy:
Fantasy & Adventure
Strong Friendships
Magical Worlds
Griffins & Mythical Creatures
Courage & Chivalric Themes
Stories Filled with Heart & Hope
If you enjoy stories such as The Chronicles of Narnia, the Inheritance Cycle, or Codex Alera, the Land of Dreams may feel like somewhere you'd enjoy exploring.
You don't need a large social-media following—or any following at all—to apply.
WHAT GRIFFIN-HEARTED READERS RECEIVE
Selected readers will receive:
An advance copy of Rankerbane: The Mind Breakers
Behind-the-scenes glimpses into the characters and world
Early looks at material surrounding the new series
The chance to experience Jonathan's next adventure before publication
DIGITAL & PHYSICAL ARCs
Digital copies will be available to selected Advance Readers. A limited number of physical Advance Reader copies will feature exclusive tipped-in artwork created especially for Rankerbane: The Mind Breakers.
WHAT DOES AN ADVANCE READER HAVE TO DO?
Mostly, I want you to read the book and enjoy the adventure.
If you finish the book and would like to share your honest thoughts, reviews and recommendations are enormously helpful to independent authors. If you have a book blog, Bookstagram, BookTube channel, or other book-focused platform, you're also welcome to share your experience there.
Positive reviews are never required.
I'm looking for genuine readers and genuine reactions.
