Samurai Ruach BOOKS
Samurai Ruach has a few different types of books. Samurai Ruach The Series was first written as an all-genres script: vampires, werewolves, faith-based, ai-zombie-robot-world war apocalypse, dystopian... originally written for a tv show/web series. After the first season was completed (8 episodes), it was converted into a novel, which had a similar storyline but more detail could be added due to the format. The end result was a whole new vision and version of samurai Ruach. There are plans to do even more alternate versions, graphic novels & web series, each in it's own medium. That way, whatever version you pick up, you get an alternate reality for the story.
After the written versions of the series, I noticed how some of it tied into books, essays, manuscripts, and other writings I'd done before this series. I incorporated those works into this project after giving them an overhaul. Those became The Book of The Samurai Ruach, which is a book of thoughts and philosophies inspired by the style of The Hagakure. That book is the core philosophy of the Samurai Ruach group in the story.
So there's a fiction series, and a philosophy series. Later on, as a fundraiser, I did a compilation album, just gathering all of the "stringed" instrumentals I'd done (bass, guitar, etc.) and put together "Byrd Mess On Strings," which has over 70 songs. I got the idea to do another book for that, which gives the backgrounds of the songs, and the cover images (album artwork) since I'd done all of it myself (music and artwork).
So, yeah, there are a few different types of books here, and each one in different formats. You should see all of the covers below, and I'll update it as new ones come out. Those covers will go to a page for each book, so you can get to that one book in every format of it. "I HOPE THIS HELPS", the spiritual, esoteric, religious and [other] "cheat sheet" listing opens directly to that page in Patreon, which is open to the public. The Patreon page is always a great place to find everything as well, since it was the first page, and intended to be the main page for the Samurai Ruach project. I was having issues with social media, but Patreon hasn't failed, and actually has improved, so I focused on that page, even though the other socials (in the menu at the bottom of the pages here) do exist. THE QR CODES go to PAYPAL, if you wanted to donate to contribute to the project, and to the Patreon page (collections) so you can easily get to everything on that page.
Fun-fact: I originally made this site because I was looking to use CustomCat and Printful for merch and couldn't link them to Patreon.
