About Us

Welcome to Ashes of Reality

Ashes of Reality LLC is the creative heart behind a constellation of brands dedicated to storytelling, craftsmanship, and transformative experiences. We are a multidisciplinary company that brings imagination to life across fiction, artisan goods, community spaces, and immersive narrative design.

At our core is a simple belief: from the ashes of what was, something extraordinary can rise. Every brand under our umbrella reflects this ethos. It is rooted in authenticity, shaped by creativity, and driven by the courage to build new worlds.

Our Story

Ashes of Reality began as a spark: a desire to create stories and experiences that resonate deeply, that offer refuge, reflection, and renewal. Over time, that spark grew into a creative ecosystem—one that now spans handcrafted goods, author platforms, reader‑centered shops, and narrative universes.

We built this company on the understanding that creativity is not linear. It is cyclical. It burns, it rebuilds, it transforms. Through every project and every brand, we honor that cycle. We rise, we reshape, and we create again.

Today, Ashes of Reality LLC stands as the foundation for four distinct but interconnected brands, each with its own voice, purpose, and community.

Our Brands

Phoenix Creations

Phoenix Creations is the artisan heart of Ashes of Reality LLC. It is a studio dedicated to handcrafted, story‑infused goods that celebrate creativity as a living act of magic. Every item is designed with intention, symbolism, and emotional resonance, transforming everyday objects into small rituals of joy and connection. From themed collections to bespoke pieces, Phoenix Creations brings imagination into the physical world, offering customers a tangible spark of transformation they can hold in their hands.

The Phoenix Nest

The Phoenix Nest is a curated haven for readers who crave connection, ritual, and a touch of magic in their everyday lives. Offering book boxes, themed merchandise, and digital experiences inspired by the worlds of Beverly L. Anderson and Atlas Anderson, The Phoenix Nest transforms reading into an immersive, multi‑sensory journey. Each collection is crafted with care and intention, designed to celebrate the emotional heart of the stories while giving fans a way to bring those worlds into their own. Whether through exclusive swag, digital extras, or beautifully curated bundles, The Phoenix Nest is where stories take flight beyond the page.

Beverly L. Anderson

Beverly L. Anderson is the emotional core of Ashes of Reality LLC, known for crafting mythic, queer‑centered fiction that blends intimate character journeys with sweeping arcs of power, identity, and rebirth. Their stories center non‑binary characters, explore neurodivergence and mental health with honesty and care, and offer readers a space where darkness and healing coexist. Beverly’s work is defined by its emotional depth, its commitment to authenticity, and its belief that even the most wounded characters can rise. Through their novels, novellas, and interconnected worlds, Beverly invites readers into narratives that are tender, transformative, and fiercely human.

Atlas Anderson

Atlas Anderson is the literary child of Beverly L. Anderson—an autistic, non‑binary creator whose work pushes boundaries, challenges expectations, and refuses to fit neatly into any one genre. Their stories explore the edges of reality and identity, weaving together dark fiction, science fiction, sci‑fantasy, and apocalyptic narratives with a bold, unflinching voice. As both a solo author and a coauthor, Atlas crafts worlds that confront the unknown, embrace complexity, and invite readers to question what lies beyond the familiar. Their work stands as a testament to the power of neurodivergent storytelling and the beauty of narratives that dare to break the mold.

Our Mission

To create stories, products, and experiences that inspire transformation, celebrate authenticity, and build community across every medium we touch.

We strive to uplift diverse voices, craft meaningful narratives, and design spaces where readers, creators, and dreamers feel seen and supported.

Our Values

Rebirth & Transformation

We champion diverse voices and create work that reflects the full spectrum of human experience. Every creation is completely authentic and human created (some products are purchased especially for those buying them). All writing is human creative with only use of assistive AI for spelling/grammar before editing is done. We strive to put authenticity in our products and the written words we use.

Authenticity and Inclusivity

Community at the Center

We build spaces where people can gather, grow, and feel a sense of belonging. Community is always special to those that strive to make connections with others. Community can become a core feature of our life, and sometimes seeing ourselves represented in books and products makes a real difference in finding it.

Every product, narrative, and experience is made with intention, care, and emotional resonance. Not one word nor one product is made without these things. Each thing is a passion project, and something we are extremely proud of to have you buy or experience.

Craftsmanship with Purpose

Stories are bridges. They bind us to each other, to our histories, and to the worlds we imagine. Every store has pieces of reality embedding in it no matter how fantastic the world. Politics, science, and more become the basis for stories that ensnare us and bring us light during dark times.

Storytelling as Connection

We honor the creative cycle by burning away what no longer serves and rising into what comes next. Everyday we remake ourselves, for each day is a day we can rise from the ashes of the day before. We are who we make ourselves, and as creators, we create world for readers to escape into as well as ways to express themselves.

What We Create

Across our brands, we craft:

Immersive fictional worlds
Handcrafted artisan goods
Specially curated products
Curated book boxes and merchandise
Author platforms and reader communities
Narrative experiences that blend myth, emotion, and transformation

The same flame: the desire to help people feel, imagine, and rise guides everything us create. If what we write stirs something within you, we're doing our job. If our products bring you moments of joy, that's what we want. Everything we do, we do it to reach out and encourage, love, and help our friends express their love for reading as well as pride in other things.

Looking Ahead

Ashes of Reality LLC continues to grow. We are expanding our stories, deepening our worlds, and building new experiences for readers and creators alike. As we evolve, our commitment remains the same: to create with purpose, to uplift with intention, and to rise again and again.
