A mother and daughter duo have taken to kickstarter to launch their newest book in their young adult fantasty  fiction series Moa. All three books chronicle a “fanciful” flight through time and space in a multi-dimensional universe of interplanetary spirits. The latest book in the series is called Iron Shinto and is written by Tricia Stewart Shiu. Her daughter Sydney Shiu is the illustrator, she’s just nine years old

Stewart-Shiu has taken to Kickstarter to help fund the release of the book.  The worldwide campaign will cover editing, publishing and publicity for “Iron Shinto,” as well as the audio books for all three books in the Moa series. “Sydney does an incredible job in the project video of explaining her role in this breakout series, “Moa,” “Statue of Ku,” and “Iron Shinto,” says Stewart-Shiu. “We would love the support of Young Adult Fantasy Fictions readers and others who just love books,” adds Shiu.

Iron Shinto has already received praise from Grady Harp an Amazon Hall Of Fame Reviewer who writes:

‘What exactly is real? Your thoughts make whatever you perceive to be real. Beyond that, what exists?’ Tricia Stewart Shiu has stepped into territory that few contemporary writers of novels have journeyed – concepts of many permutations of the spirit world as experienced and acted out by contemporary characters. Reading Shiu’s book IRON SHINTO (the third volume of her series of books entitled The Moa Books) is not only immensely entertaining as a story, but also illuminating as to the concepts of the levels of existence that bond the corporeal world with the spirit world.

Each chapter opens with a ritual that the reader can actually follow and perform, moments of enlightenment that heighten the meaning of the novel but also serve to open the reader’s mind to the seemingly endless possibilities of realms of existence – call it reincarnation or alternative levels of being or whatever connects the reader with a willingness to think along different lines. Though Shiu writes her books for a Teen or Young Adult audience, her commitment to expand the mind is so well centered that her audience could comfortably and satisfyingly include adult readers, especially those curious about universal levels of being.

The author is looking or $14.987 dollars in their Kickstarter campaign. Backing starts at $5.00.
