Undawnted Expands into Poetry, Prose, and Promo Shorts

Promo Short
Undawnted is still in our Summer Time seasonal reads program (Promo Short), but the month is counting down to September and the beginning of Autumn Cider. 

The third and final installment of the Saint series will be published and will have a wide release party later this month. We will continue to provide our creative writing program and projects via A Novelist Idea until the end of the year.

Behind the scenes, Team Undawnted is hard at work creating and uploading poetry and prose shorts to our YouTube Channel. We have added the section: Poetry Slam (Playlist), which will house our poetry videos, including our feature films. 

The short videos will also give our readers samples of DL Mullan's prose content. Hear a snippet before you read it! These prose selections will be placed in their appropriate playlists.

As always, the book covers, art, and writings on Undawnted are human derived from the creative imagination, but our shorts and other video compilations are using AI (artificial intelligence)/CGI components to them. These tools allow us to create more variety and expand our entertainment offerings. 

We hope you continue to share in our journey. 

Have a great and wonderful day.

The Jonah Collector is Set for June 2023 Release

As an homage to the Rime of the Ancient Mariner, The Jonah Collector is a lyrical prose, seafaring narrative set in the 1700s. 

Captain Christopher Houston is a seafaring man. He lives on the sea. He is the best ship captain in the world. He is also deceased. 

In this epic tale, we discover that in his youth, Captain Houston committed a heinous crime. He lied about his age to get onboard a ship because his father had died. The young man wanted to support his mother by earning a wage. Unfortunately, he was too inexperienced. He found himself labeled a Jonah, the weakest link, and forced to walk the plank. 

As his ship sailed away, the ocean took him down to the Locker. In the Depths, a beautiful mermaid made him a deal. Captain Houston did not understand the contract that saved his life, and was later able to nullify the mermaid's evil intent because he was not of age to consent to such an agreement. 

Years had passed since his encounter. Something inside of him stirred. He knew that his youthful mistake was about to catch up with his present. 

Unbeknownst to him, the mermaid, Aetheshella, devised a scheme to lure Christopher back to her through fate. She went after his son. Now, Captain Houston has a choice: save his son or himself. 

Will he be the next victim of The Jonah Collector

This short story will be released on June 23, 2023.

Say Goodbye to Spring Dreams on Undawnted

June 2022 is Summer Activation Time on Undawnted

Undawnted switches from our Spring Dreams to Summer Time seasonal reads program on June 1st. 

Before that time, Undawnted has stopped updating our Facebook pages and accounts. On May 26th, Facebook forced DL Mullan into a 2-Step Authentication process... meaning this rogue corporation stole her emergency phone number in order to create a tracking leash onto its disabled user. 

Facebook tracks their users throughout the internet. This data is then sold for a profit. That information also is banked for future use to punish users who speak out against the censorship and the inane complaint of "misinformation."

By the way, Misinformation is what you gather from the mainstream media and intelligence operations on social media, not the other way around. If you are unconvinced, then see the Smith-Mundt Act that was updated during the Obama years that allowed the Intelligence Industrial Complex to propagandize Americans.  

Everything is not what it appears. As the revelation took hold, Undawnted turned off cable and the television years ago. Instead of being misled by talking heads, the author began researching what is real... nothing on television, even the news, is real. Real events, yes. Reality, no. A logical paradox has been born.

As a consequence of knowing real knowledge, this disabled woman will have to purchase a new emergency phone with a new number. On a fixed income, that is tragedy. With inflation, it is catastrophic.

In the last few years, corporations have stepped out of the shadows in order to rule us like Divine Right of Kings... I don't know about you, but I never voted in one of these treacherous CEOs into elected office... All this grandstanding is hubris. Their power is based in nothing, but what we give them. 

The power of the elite class is nothing more than a witch's spell. Spells are born of word and intention. If you rescind your consent, by refusing to participate in their schemes to scam you out of your privacy, reality, and creative spirit, then you can return to wholeness again. 

Adults do not need a ruling class of elites. We don't need to be under a conservatorship. The point of voting is to be responsible for our communities and countries. These shadows have corrupted the system for power, control, and profit. 

Why is anyone in the world supporting corporations that hate the people of this Earth? 

It is time people from around the world take a stand against these social media, as well as political and corporate, oligarchs that are using American taxpayer funded technology platforms to implement worldwide communism. That is what Globalism is: corporate control and bureaucratic communism. 

In the meantime, Undawnted will be researching other social media arenas to participate in. Good companies that don't want your information to sell or use against you. Corporations that abide by our privacy rights, as well as assert our rights.

This summer just got a whole lot more interesting! 

Have a great and wonderful rest of your May.

The Hero's Journey: The Threshold to Adventure

It's summer time. 

The Threshold to Adventure is right before you. What will you choose? A vacation to a destination you have never been before? To serve your country? Take a position at another company? Or, to begin college for the first time?

Humanity is on a constant quest in the hero's journey of our lives. Each step is as personal and unique as the last. Since the individual is the ultimate minority, we face our challenges in this life as a species as interlocking singular modules connecting into the next one and future generations. 

So what is your Call to Adventure? What Threshold to do you stand before? 

It's summer... take that first step.

Coordinated Look for Special Engagements Seasonal Workshops


Undawnted needed to coordinate the lecture, poetry, and writer's workshops with the Seasonal Reads program. 

So I went through old book cover designs that were created but have not been put into use. I chose a design from an earlier Hode mockup, and then I combined that with my Seasonal Reads images. 

The end products are uniform as well as different for each season. Green and a shamrock for Spring Dreams. Purple and a hummingbird for Summer Time. Orange and a pumpkin wreath for Autumn Cider. Red and a snowman for Winter Frost. 

Each workshop will be linked back to the season it is listed under.

This visualization will keep workshops straight as more and more lectures, poems, and writing workshops are published.

When workshops are then codified into separate mini-course certificates, then there will be no confusion on what course fits into which program. 


So I hope you enjoy the cover designs as well as the workshop series I have created. 


Have a great and wonderful day.
