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 Hey Reader ! The Screwtape Letters I’ve always wanted to read The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, but never got very far into the book. That is, until I found the AUDIOBOOK of it for free on YOUTUBE If you’re not aware, The Screwtape Letters is a fictional series of letters from a senior demon to his inexperienced-demon ‘nephew,’ Wormwood. In the story, Wormwood has been assigned to a man who very soon becomes a…
From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Hey Reader ! A JOURNEY WORTH TAKING! I am almost done with Acadia. I’m not a military sci-fi fan whatsoever. But I started listening to this FREE AUDIOBOOK by Sterling Nixon, and was sucked into the story world. It takes place in a futuristic American dystopia where the people have become warriors like Trojans and they are fighting off an assault of ‘roaches,’ which are a kind of alien insect species that has invaded…
From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Hi again Reader ! As promised, we are opening up Round 2 of the Theme Song for CrossFall: The Remnant Rises. This set is a bit different. I am trying for a little bit Hawaiian, a little bit like the Cranberries. I’d love to hear your thoughts. Remember, in the story, the mother is singing to her children in their mountain hideaway. We need a song that is basic enough that could be sung like that, but then that can be…
