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 Greetings Reader! Sometimes the world is confusing. News breaks our heart. I think they specifically choose what is ‘news-worthy’ by how it will make us feel B-A-D. I’ve been reading through the Psalms and Psalm 10 really impacted me in light of certain wickedness that has been recently publicly exposed. It asks, “Where are you, God, when difficulty comes on the weak and powerless?” but as it reflects on the wicked man’s…
From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Happy February Reader! I had no idea what trouble I was getting myself into. On my way driving to the physical therapist (for my broken-ankle recovery) yesterday, I decided to listen to the almost-complete manuscript of That Beautiful Shore: Monica’s Story (Book 3 of Return to Me trilogy) My phone’s accessibility settings allow it to read ebooks to me. So I pressed play as I began my 20 minute drive to the doctor. It…
From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Hi Again Reader! Is it really the end of January? How could the month be passed already? I hope you’ve had a great time of it. Have you made some resolutions? I have two recommendations. They were a great part of my 2025 and will be again for my 2026 plans: 1) Read the Bible every day (I use the M’Cheyne Bible reading program integrated with Logos software and the ESV audioBible) 2) Read Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening…
