Now that the 2025 Kickstarter is over, I wanted to let you know what, Lord willing, 2026 holds in store on our Community site.
This world is going dystopian. No doubt about it.
Normal people have to figure out how to live in this chaotic world. We want CLEAN READS and UPBUILDING FICTION to help entertain and encourage us on this journey. We want to stay true to our faith as we enjoy our lives.
The ScrollKeepers Community is meant to help do that.
Last email I shared how I’m going off social media for good. I’ve been working on something really great for our reading community.
We have many upgrades to our community for 2026 and will be integrating these into our community building.
1) Good books are hard to find. One prime purpose of our community is directing readers to good books. You’ll have a community behind you to help you find your next GOOD read.
2) Around the Hearth Share your pictures and videos with one another
3) Meet-ups.Live meetings with me, author Darlene N. Böcek, to get to know me, the books, deeper themes and secrets about the books–as well as interviews with other authors of faith-building fiction… all on the horizon for 2026.
4) First Access Trailblazer readers have access to beta reads and ARC books. This is the place to be if you want to contribute to the excellence of Clean and Christian fiction.
5) Author Showcases I have special features where other select authors can highlight and feature their work, so you can meet other Christian authors and embrace their stories as well.
6) PrayerAs a sensitive topic, we will have prayer groups for us to encourage one another in this challenging world we live in.
The Wayfinder level is free for everyone until January 1. Plus, Founding Member status/badge for anyone who joins before the new year.
(Even if you were part of the scavenger hunt last year–make sure to join this year. There are some fun additions to the community as of this week! And I’m still in search of more Christmas tree/home decoration pictures–upload directly to the site).
Until next time,
Darlene

From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Dear friend, Just a quick message this week. I hope you are well. I’m neck-deep in revisions for Me, Myself, and IT. Pray for me. This week I experienced a cool interconnection of real life and fiction when my husband introduced a new song to the church congregation. Kyrie Eleison. It’s so beautiful! I will record it and share it in the upcoming weeks. If you don’t know, the phrase means, Lord have mercy in Greek. The…
From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Dear friend, I hope you had a great Easter. I was born on Palm Sunday, and this year Palm Sunday was a day before my birthday. It’s a fun thing to have a birthday near Easter. I hope you had a chance to read Memento Mori message from last week. Get some tissues. This week begins the Theme Song Tournament…. Whisper Hope Tournament I wrote a song for the upcoming CrossFall trilogy. It’s called Whisper Hope (aka Deep Calls…
From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Happy Easter Reader ! He is risen…indeed! Death Where is thy Sting? My hard-to-find novel, Tim Reynolds, Detective: The Death of Noah Black takes place in Portsmouth, Maine. The choice of location stems from a tragedy that happened there in 1798 that impacted my life permanently. It was the loss of parents Temperance and Seth Walker.
