As you probably know, over the past years, I’ve been working on a sci-fi fantasy dystopia series. It has gone through many series name morphs.
Initially: Pogland Series
Then: Umbraland Series
Then: Immortals Series
It’s not just the series title that has gone through morphs.
I have made dozens of cover mockups for the story and the manuscript has gone through just as many revisions. The story is EPIC. And it’s been a huge project that I want to make exactly right.
THE BIG NEWS
Finally, I found the perfect series title that reflects the HEART of the dystopia best….
Today I want to introduce you to both the SERIES NAME, Book One’s title, and the LAUNCH PAGE.
I’D LIKE TO INTRODUCE TO YOU:
CROSSFALL: The Remnant Rises
This cover is actually a temporary placeholder. We’ll be having a cover reveal soon–I’m waiting for the cover artist to finish making the CrossFall Book 1 cover right now.
Here’s more about the book:
In a world where immortality is possible, but at a deadly cost, a forest girl must fight for survival against nature, man, and beast. But as she evades the monster-men hunting her, she begins to uncover secrets about the immortality that everyone craves – secrets that threaten everything she thinks is true.

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…
