Dear Readers,
As we welcome the crisp air, vibrant leaves, and pumpkin-spiced everything, Fall has officially graced us with its enchanting presence. It's a season of transformation, of shedding old leaves to make way for the new. Speaking of new beginnings, I have some thrilling news to share with you all this October.
Whitney Morgan Media - A Dream Come True!
First and foremost, I've harbored a dream deep within my heart for years, one that seeks to celebrate, support, and honor writers and creators as they so desperately deserve. Today, I'm thrilled to announce the birth of Whitney Morgan Media—a publishing imprint, a literary agency, and a literary service provider all rolled into one amazing community for writers.
At Whitney Morgan Media, our mission is to serve as a guiding light for authors navigating the ever-evolving landscape of publishing, bridging the gap between traditional literary realms and the exciting frontier of Web3 and digital collectible publishing. In essence, Whitney Morgan Media is a bridge—a bridge between the traditions of the publishing world and the boundless possibilities of Web3 and digital collectible publishing. Our mission is to ensure that every author's journey is guided by knowledge, supported by a community, and enriched by innovation as they step into the future of storytelling.
The journey has just begun, and I'm elated to have seven talented writers who have already joined the Whitney Morgan Media family. This is so remarkable because, our website - whitneymorganmedia.com - is still in the making! If you're as excited as I am about this, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at rionna@rionnamorgan.com to learn more. I will be sharing progress as time goes by! I can’t wait!
Celebrating Samhain: The Celtic Wheel of the Year Series - Book 1
There are so many reasons to celebrate! Whitney Morgan Media is up and running, even without a website and has published its first book: Celebrating Samhain. I'm ecstatic to introduce my latest work, the first installment of The Celtic Wheel of the Year Series. It's a juvenile fiction book centered around the ancient celebration of Halloween—Samhain. Twins, Croia and Ronan, guided by their beloved Irish grandmother, in their new blended family are introduced to Samhain's ancient traditions, where stories, rituals, and cherished memories come together, as the family honors the past, revealing that Halloween's spirit transcends mere costumes, carved pumpkins, and candy. Join a tale where history, family, and love intertwine, celebrating the true essence of Samhain.

Connecting with the Future in September: T2, PageDAO, and Vagobond Magazine
In the spirit of embracing the future, I had the incredible opportunity to meet with the visionary team at T2 this past month. Their concept of reading that rewards you - the reader - is nothing short of revolutionary, and I'm excited to see how it shapes the future of storytelling.
Additionally, I've been thoroughly enjoying my role as the Department Lead for the PageDAO publishing community. PageDAO is a vibrant hub for writers in the Web3 space, and I'm honored to support and collaborate with such talented individuals.
Lastly, I'm over the moon to share that I've accepted the position of Editor-in-Chief at Vagobond Magazine. This magazine, a beacon of Web3 lifestyle exploration, aligns perfectly with my passion for storytelling in the digital age. I look forward to contributing to its journey of discovery and innovation as leaders in the Web3 space.
