Less than a week to go!

Don't miss your chance to support the campaign to publish the MYSTIC STORYTELLER, and be rewarded with a first-edition copy!



This gorgeous deck by author Amanda Hughes and artist Roselyne Cazazian ( AKA Roz Kazaz) is a brilliant homage to the work of Pamela Coleman-Smith in 1909. With a widely inclusive cast of characters from timeless modern situations, these archetypes jump off the page and into your spirit.

Not a backer yet?

If you’ve been on the fence about backing this project, you have less than a week to decide if the book or deck, along with FREE writing materials are a fit for your storytelling needs.


Do you know someone who’s thinking about writing a book?

Please share this post with them! One week is plenty of time for them to take advantage of all the FREE writing materials I've given away at Camp MST this month.

It is Magic M🌝🌝N-day... time to bask in your imagination!!

Hi everyone,

Well it's the Super-Blue-Full-Moon today, MOON-day, and we are buzzing in our seats with pent-up energy. Are you? The beautiful blue moon energy has us thinking about second chances, magic, and the power of imagination. 


What will your beautiful mind dream up today? 🌝




We are asking for your pledge to support MYSTIC STORYTELLER over on BackerKit (not Kickstarter). In return, you get a whole packet of goodies, including a first-edition copy of the book and companion card deck.

Why BackerKit?

Some of you have asked about why we're not over on the ol' Kickstarter, and the answer is, we wanted to step up and give BackerKit a try, to thank them for their strong stance against any AI-generated content on their platform. Not only do they only allow authentically human-made projects, they also protect our work by disallowing AI bots to scrape the site for ideas to steal.

What is this project all about?

New from author and designer Amanda Hughes: MYSTIC STORYTELLER is a 500-page book with its own tarot deck, illustrated so beautifully by artist Roz Kazaz. The book is destined to be THE definitive source for writers on how to use tarot cards to build story, plot and character. We could not be more excited.

Do you have a book in you? Learn more and peek inside the book >



Thanks everyone! See you over on BackerKit. We are so thankful to all those of you who helped us reach our first funding goal. But the concept is all-or-nothing... If we don't reach our goal of $17K, which will be what we need to manufacture the products, then no one gets charged and the project closes. Please don't let that happen!

Sending MOON-beams to all you dreamers out there.

Thanks,
Stacey, Roz, & Mandy

Now on Mystic Storyteller! A FREE downloadable resource for Backers...

Hello writers!

It's Writer Wednesday over at the Mystic Storyteller campaign and it's incredible to see the community that we have begun over there. The campfire stories are so good, and all the encouraging comments are the lifeblood of a writing community. Thank you!

Just posted! A free story-SHOWing resource for download

For Backers only... (Are you a Backer yet?)

What writer has NOT heard the phrase, “Show your story, don’t tell it”?
Backers can download this PDF for free, starting today, for a limited time only.



Add-Ons and Freebies too!

We are past halfway to our funding goal, but we're going to keep sweating it out until we reach it. Without this financial boost, we will not be able to bring this book and tarot deck to life. In order to thank those who pre-order via BackerKit (we call them "Backers"), we have created a huge selection of freebies and add-on gifts, to complement your first-edition copy of the book AND to enhance your writing journey.

Let's get your first draft finished by November!



Thank you all for joining us on this journey to bring an amazing writer's resource to fruition, indie-style.

xo,
the La Panthère Studio team

You did it! The first stretch goal has been unlocked! Guess what?

Writers and Tarot Enthusiasts....


We made our first stretch goal!!!

You are amazing! In just three days, you have collectively raised over $10,000 for the Mystic Storyteller Tarot and we are so close to our goal! If we get to the next goal, it means this project will come to fruition!

Oh wow. So exciting!

To thank you, I am going to be adding some NEW writer's resources straight from The Mystic Storyteller, even more than I had already planned. Because, it's the least I can do to thank y'all for getting us this far! I'll post, and announce, them soon.

These will be EXCLUSIVES for Backers only!

I also want to say, I am really enjoying our time over on the Community tab, and I'd like to thank everyone who has participated in our polls and discussions so far. Of course you don't have to, and if you're just enjoying all of this quietly from the peace of your writing studio, that's OK too. All are welcome.

Here's a peek at the Stretch Goals we have, in case you haven't seen them before. Remember, the $17,000 that we set as a project goal is merely the cost to get these products manufactured. We can hardly wait to see it all in print!



Thank you, x 10,000!


Thank you, Backers! What to expect this week

Hello there Backers!

Wow, yesterday was incredible and I have you to thank for that! We are nearly halfway to our fundraising goal to bring Mystic Storyteller to life, and it's only Day Two. Wow wow wow.

Midweek Check-in

By now I hope you have stopped into the Community Section of the campaign to see what people have been posting, as well as to download your first PDF, the Checklist.


A New Poll

Let's see where everyone is on their book! Tell us how far along you are —even if you haven't begun at all!— in this poll, for Backers only.




Up Next!

Thursday and Friday we have more activities planned, so stay tuned! Let's keep that momentum going and help each other get those books written, and manifested into reality.

xo,
Amanda Hughes
