CCB News & Updates

New Kickstarter hopefully live in January 2027!

This is an agglomeration of short stories written for and between competitions, and sometimes while dreaming.

Most stories inside have a horror-like edge, touching down into the lake of the unknown. Others can be downright strange. Not all of them tug at your oddest curiosities, but may choose a bite of bittersweet instead.

This is a collection of stories born out of moments of panic, stretches of writer's block, and/or written while dreaming of alternate universes.

It's an Anthology. Of sorts.

Follow the Kickstarter!

The Kickstarter is a success!

UPDATE: ebooks have been delivered to all tiers that include it! Physical books will be ordered week of 5/18/26, with a lead time of June 2026.

This is a 3-book meaty omnibus that's complete, edited, and ready to go! Follow the Kickstarter to get updates on the project, and sign up for the newsletter for special discounts when it goes live!

I have officially quit making soap making YouTube videos. I've been on YT since 2018, and it's been very difficult to keep up with the oversaturation in the soap making space. I had a Kickstarter for a soap making journal that failed horribly, and I can't seem to get a leg up anywhere even if I love making soap.

So, I've been redirecting my focus to writing and publishing for now.

The website is still up, and will remain up. I'm still going to make soap, so I might post something new there from time to time.

However, I will not be marketing it or putting extra energy behind it for now.

Retro OUterworld has a Spotify!

CCB has been reating and mixing some music for the world of Roseaarde. You can find the single "Light Bringer" on the Retro Outerworld artist page. It's a blend of Nu Metal and Electronic, with lyrics penned by R.E. Holding. Stay tuned for more releases!
