About Peachill

For everyone who loves great stories, Peachill (www.peachill.com) is a collaborative and curated storytelling platform that produces great content by eliminating the barriers between great ideas and finished stories. As a true partner, Peachill champions the funding, creation, and distribution process, freeing up creatives to do what they do best, unlike publishers who charge large upfront fees or only provide one service along a complicated publishing journey. While the digital revolution has produced the potential for a new storytelling democracy controlled by We the People, it is, too often, just that: untapped potential. Peachill proposes nothing less than a storytelling revolution. The potential is already there. We can bypass the traditional gatekeepers through crowdsourcing and online marketplaces. We can share and be challenged by ideas from across the world through social media. Everywhere we look, technology empowers us to think for ourselves and share our ideas and stories with the world. So isn't it ironic (don't you think?), or weird, or backwards that those who tell the stories and control how those stories are published and shared have remained pretty much the same? But here's the good stuff: what the digital revolution has done is brought us closer together. Friends and neighbors can more easily than ever gather around the digital campfire to share stories and, thus, understand a difficult world. We can get connected with the best and brightest who share our questions and our passions -- and who can help answer our questions or make our idea a reality. Despite these changes, the way we tell and find stories remains distinctly undemocratic. We are capable of so much more. At Peachill, we believe in the power and relevance of every voice. We want to live in a world where the best stories not only find an audience but are improved by the community that springs up around them. Peachill is a place where storytelling is democratic -- open to everyone and where the best ideas prosper because the community wants them to. It is where every good story finds the support and professional resources it needs to succeed. We do this with the belief that if we empower people and partner in creativity, powerful books and journalism stories will result. We believe that passionate individuals can accomplish great things -- but together we can create something extraordinary. Peachill is not a publishing platform, Peachill is a storytelling revolution. Join us.

Red Eagle: The Red Stick War of Alabama Jan 4, 2018

by Peachill , Jens Cromer , Andrew Knighton , Jeff Hortman , Rob Allen , Darwin Lopena , Darcy Werkman

( 14 )

$7.99

Alabama. 1812. The southwestern frontier of the young United States spans hundreds of miles between the Mississippi River and the Appalachian Mountains. The region is home to dozens of Native American tribes, American settlers, and the soldiers of Spain, France, England, and the USA. It is a melting pot unseen since the Persian Empire.

On the banks of the Coosa River, William Weatherford manages brisk business from his trading post. He is the son of a Scottish military man, who served under George Washington, and a Creek Princess from the sacred Deer family. He moves through both worlds, native and European. He is known as Red Eagle among his Creek brothers. He commands respect. He is the sinew that holds his community from the brink of conflict.

But as Red Eagle and his family steer the course of peace, rivals tussle for control of the land. A series of slights pushes the Creek Nation into standing their ground against the power-hungry Governor of the Alabama. When Red Eagle declines to choose sides, his side is chosen for him.

With his wife and child murdered and his home burned to the ground. Red Eagle takes command of the Creek forces. He leads a strategic guerilla war of resistance that paralyzes the Governor and forces the US Government to call in General Andrew Jackson to quell the conflict.

Through years of battle, Red Eagle commands Jackson's respect, but the radical factions of his own men - led by his half-brother, the Prophet Josiah - create dissent in his victory plan.

As attrition hits both sides and the rivers of Alabama run red with the blood of citizens, how far will Red Eagle go to see peace in his homeland again? When does revenge become folly? When does the past become a dream you cannot return to? How can one man save his people from total destruction?

This is the story of William Weatherford. The greatest warrior Andrew Jackson ever faced.

Empress Wu: Rise Feb 11, 2018

by Peachill , Jeff Hortman , Andrew Knighton , Rob Allen , Darwin Lopena , Jens Cromer

( 15 )

$7.99

In a world of choreographed behavior. A trap of etiquette and standardized rules. In the palace of the most powerful kingdom on Earth. In the midst of this web of constraint and rigid authority, one woman triumphed over centuries of ritual. One Machiavellian courtesan rose above the rules and became the most powerful ruler in the world.

Born into poverty with nothing but her wit and beauty, Wu was carried to the Emperor's Palace as a child to join his large and growing harem of courtesans. She quickly caught the eye of the Emperor but chose her mark carefully. Eluding rivals in the courtesan halls, she hooked the heart of the Crown Prince, leading him to undo centuries of tradition to marry her, a lowly woman on ignoble birth.

As Wu consolidated her power, she became the defacto ruler. But how far would she go to consolidate the influence she sought? Would she sacrifice the love of her husband? The life of her child? When allies become enemies quickly enough to become allies again, what are the rules in this new world?

To stay one step ahead, the victorious must write the rules themselves. And for Wu, all the rules must go.

Hannibal Barca: The Lion of Carthage Oct 16, 2017

by Peachill , Elizabeth Selin , Jeff Hortman , Darwin Lopena , Rob Allen , Jens Cromer , Darcy Werkman

( 24 )

$7.99

Before Napoleon. Before Caesar. Before the Mediterranean was ruled by a Roman Emperor, the finest general in the world hailed from Africa.

Hannibal Barca and his family dominated the powerful city of Carthage. As the fledgling city-state of Rome broke their peace treaty and bargained for war, Hannibal sacrificed all that he loved to march against the bully power.

The strength of his wife and mother at home kept Carthage in check, while Hannibal executed the most daring invasion in military history...marching over the Alps with dozens of war elephants among his guard. He drives terror into the Roman people, racing to the gates of Rome...until enemies within send cracks through his carefully planned victory.

When brothers die and comrades betray, who but Hannibal can offer hope? When Rome is within reach, what cost is too high for victory? When family demands heartbreak, where does allegiance lie?

Amid the passion of war, Hannibal finds one enemy he can respect. But after freeing this young Roman officer, he grows into Hannibal's greatest nemesis, rescuing Rome from the abyss. Will honor be Hannibal's undoing? Does strength stand a chance against deceit? When politics and warriors are at odds, who will win the day?

Hannibal Barca is the thrilling tale of a family dedicated to the greatness of a city and the sacrifices they each make during the Second Punic War.
