Projects
Kinver Studios develops stories across different forms: written fiction, audio storytelling, and music. Most of it belongs to a single universe, Skaldenreach, and is added to slowly.
In development
The universe at the centre of the studio's work
Skaldenreach is the world every other Kinver project draws from. Rowan approaches it as something living, with its own history, beliefs, conflicts, languages, and traditions, and stories that reach beyond any single narrative.
A novel series within Skaldenreach
The Mosswyn Hollow novels follow characters growing up in a world larger and stranger than they first understand. The series turns on identity, friendship, belonging, responsibility, and the discovery that the world you thought you knew is only a small part of something greater.
An audio anthology set within Skaldenreach
An audio anthology built on theatre of the mind: voice, music, sound design, atmosphere, and performance, letting the audience build the world in their own imagination. Each tale stands on its own and adds another fragment to Skaldenreach. The anthology grows one tale at a time.
Working title
A new short story in progress. The title is provisional and the piece has not been published yet.
A prequel work, set within Skaldenreach
A prequel concept album set within Skaldenreach. Still being written.
Completed
The first episode of Tales from the Skald
Four adventurers walk into the Hollow chasing twenty gold and a Stagwraith. The villages bordering the Hollow already know how the story ends. Rowan wrote, directed, produced, performed in, and engineered the episode from script to finished release.
